4.2 Software Upgrades
The SQC-222 firmware (Flash software) can be upgraded through its RS-232 port. The
upgrade program, SigmaFlash.exe, is on the Utility CDROM shipped with the SQC-222.
The latest firmware file (SQC222.BIN) can be found our web site, www.sig-inst.com .
Compare the version of the web site’s file with the version shown on the SQC-222 at
power on. Upgrade only if the BIN file on our web site is a higher number.
To upgrade the SQC-222 firmware:
1. Download the BIN file from our web site to your computer.
2. Start the SigmaFlash program.
3. Click File... and load the BIN file that you downloaded.
4. Connect the SCQ-222 to your computer with the cable provided (a straight-thru
RS-232 cable). Select the computer Comm port in the dropdown box in SigmaFlash.
5. Be sure the SQC-222 is turned OFF.
6. Click Program, then turn on the SQC-222.
7. SigmaFlash should find the SQC-222 and load the new program.
6. When the upgrade is complete, the SQC-222 will restart. Verify that the SQC-222
startup screen shows the new firmware version.
