Software and Firmware Upgrades

The software of the monitor and the firmware of the transducers and other system components can be
upgraded by a software download from a PC running the Support Tool. You connect the monitor to
the PC via a LAN connection. You need:
• Industry standard PC
• Support Tool
• LAN / RS232 system interface
• LAN interface cable for the Support Tool
Several Avalon fetal monitors can be upgraded in parallel with the Support Tool. All monitors in an
installation can be upgraded at once, if desired.
The transducers can be upgraded one at a time, even though more than one may be plugged into the
monitor at the same time.
When upgrading to a new monitor software revision, we recommend that you check that all system
hardware components have the latest firmware revision, and upgrade these if necessary.
