Bootloader

See figure 34
The bootloader connects to a device through a COM port
to update the firmware. Only one device can be updated
at a time and communication with all other devices on the
COM port stops during the upgrade process. A firmware file
must be obtained from Alicat support prior to beginning the
upgrade. Please contact Alicat directly to obtain the latest
firmware version compatible with your device.
▲
Caution: Attempting to update your
device with an incompatible firmware
may damage the device and stop it
from functioning. Only use firmware files
approved and provided by Alicat Scientific.
To run the bootloader on a device:
1. Define the COM port, baud rate, and the ID of the device
to upgrade.
2. Click Connect. The bootloader stops polling all devices
on the COM port and reads the selected device to
be upgraded. The Status field indicates the current
firmware of the device and any errors experienced when
connecting.
3. Click Browse and select the firmware file provided by
Alicat support.
4. When ready, click Program Device. The upgrade may
take a few moments to complete.
▲
Caution: Do not disconnect the device from
the COM port or close the software while the
bootloader is running. Doing so may corrupt
the device and stop it from functioning.
5. When the bootloader confirms the upgrade has
completed successfully, close the bootloader, restart
Flowvision 2.0™, and power cycle the device.
!
Note: A device cannot be upgraded
over Bluetooth. The device must
be connected via a COM port.
