12 Firmware Uploader Utility
The Firmware Uploader Utility can be used to upload new firmware files into a Levelogger Gold. The firmware file can be obtained from http://www.solinst.com/Downloads/.
To upload new firmware to a Levelogger Gold, follow these steps:
|
|
1) |
Open the Solinst Firmware Update Utility (LLGfirmwareUpdate.exe), which is located in the ‘Utility’ folder in the Levelogger 3 folder and pick the Com Port to which the Levelogger is connected. Make sure the Baud Rate is set to 9600. |
|
2) |
Click the leftmost ‘Open’ button  , which should open a file dialog asking for the firmware file (*.ssf) to upload. Navigate to the directory where the firmware file is located then click on the file and click ‘Open’. |
|
3) |
Check the ‘Firmware File Information’ box to make sure that the opened file is the right one. |
|
4) |
Click the ‘Upload Firmware’ button  , which is the second button from the left, to start the firmware upload process. |
|
5) |
If a communication error occurs and is indicated in the Levelogger Information Window (Fig.11-1) either before the “Verified Program Checksum” message or after the “Program Information Section”, then restart the upgrade process. |
|
6) |
If, however, a communication error occurs between the “Verified Program Checksum” and the “Program Information Section” messages, then please contact Solinst. You will need to give the Levelogger Serial Number and explain the exact positioning of the error message. |
