status
The KIT file for the NI-4000/3000/2000 Series of Master controllers begins with
2105_NI_Master.
DO NOT use the 2105-03_NI_Master KIT file as it is specifically configured to
function on the NI-700 Integrated Controller.
Only upon the initial installation of the new KIT file to an on-board Master
(currently loaded build 117 (or lower) firmware) will there be a error message
displayed indicating a failure of the last component to successfully download. This is
part of the initial update procedure and will not occur during uploads of later firmware.
