Updating Software - TC Electronic System 6000 Basic Operation

UPDATING SYSTEM 6000 SOFTWARE
The System 6000 is a constantly evolving platform and
updating software is a standard procedure keeping the
system up-to-date. Upgrading is easily done following
the procedures below.
Getting the newest software
Visit our site at www.tcelectronic.com, select Reverb 6000
(System 6000 basic version). You may also contact your
local dealer to get the latest software.
There are four types of software in the System 6000.
#1 Frame software
#2 DSP software
#3 Software for the TC Icon
#4 Ethernet software
There is no specific software for the Remote CPU as the
TC Icon and the Remote CPU are to be viewed as one
inseparable unit.
It is important to upgrade the software in the correct
order: First #1 Frame software, then #2 DSP
software, then #3 TC Icon software, then #4
Ethernet software and then the AES-8 card software.
The AES-8 card software should only be upgraded
if a newer AES-8 software version than the one you
are currently using is available.
Updating Frame Software
• Power OFF the M6000
• Insert floppy-disk #1 "Frame application" into M6000.
The disk must NOT be write-protected.
• Power ON M6000
• Wait approximately 2 minutes while the software is copied.
• When the LED on the right side of the M6000 turns
constantly green, and the floppy-drive has stopped,
remove the floppy-disk.
While uploading software, the power LED will flash
between green and orange. This is normal. If the LED
flashes in red, please upload the software once again.
A result file called Resboot.txt will be saved on the disk,
and list the result of the operation. This file can be opened
with Microsoft Notepad on a standard PC.
Updating DSP Software
• Power OFF both the Mainframe 6000 and the Remote
CPU.
• Insert floppy-disk #2 "DSP application" into M6000.
The disk must NOT be write-protected.
• Power on the Mainframe.
• Wait approximately 2 minutes while the software is copied.
• When the LED on the right side of the Mainframe turns
constantly green, and the floppy-drive has stopped,
remove the floppy-disk
While uploading software, the power LED will flash
between green and orange. This is normal. If the LED

A result file called Rs<serial no>.txt will be saved on the
disk, and list the result of the operation. This file can be
opened with Microsoft Notepad on a standard PC.
