CHAPTER 4 COMMUNICATION

Uploading the Sensor’s Embedded Software

After clicking the Connect button, the Version Control screen may appear notifying you

that the sensor’s embedded software and the firmware embedded in the SSMA software are

not the same version (see Figure 4.15). To view more software version information, right-

click on the SSMA main menu page and select from the options that appear.

Figure 4.15 – Sensor’s Embedded Software Upgrade (left) and Details Table (right)

Click the Details button to view the firmware versions of both the SSMA software and the

sensor.

Once the Version Control screen appears, you can do one of the following:
1 Upgrade the sensor’s embedded software by clicking the INSTALL UPGRADE button.

2 Click the close button and continue the configuration process.

3 Find the version of SSMA software that is compatible with the sensor’s embedded soft-

ware.

Note

Clicking the

close button and continuing configuration without upgrading may cause

problems with functionality.

Install the firmware upgrade if the SSMA firmware version date is more recent than the

sensor’s embedded software version date. If the sensor’s firmware date is more recent than

the SSMA firmware version date, a warning will appear notifying the user that the sensor

firmware could be downgraded (see Figure 4.16).
