Applicable Unit Software - Wave Central Axis Series User And Programming Manual

1.5 Applicable Unit Software

Each Transmitter has two software elements:
Firmware that runs the device, via board level FPGA's. (Field Programmable Gate Array)
And Control Application that is run from a Windows based PC, external of the transmitter.
1.5.1 Internal Software
Although much of the transmitter is built up of hardware components, many of the sophisticated features
are implemented via firmware programmed into the FPGA's.
When you perform a firmware upgrade, a complete firmware installation package is provided which
contains all the required upgrade codes.
1.5.2 Control Application
For customized operation and unit configurations, connecting to a PC and running the transmitter Control
Application will give the user much more global command control of the unit's settings and parameters.
Here is a screen shot of what the Transmitter Control Application looks like:
