Firmware Updates - Lynx hilo User Manual

If any Hilo parameters that only appear in Advanced mode have been altered, and then the Hilo was switched to Standard Mode, the
alterations will no longer be active. For instance, if the RETURN TO METERS selection was set to "15 seconds" in Advanced Mode,
when switched to Standard Mode the default state of "5 minutes" will be active. When returning to Advanced Mode, the default will
continue to be active and an alteration will have to be manually selected.

4 Firmware Updates

Hilo contains firmware that is field-programmable via the USB bus. These updates improve performance and enhance functionality of
Hilo. In some cases, the touch screen functions and appearance may change dramatically from firmware updates.
Additionally, the LT-USB card installed into Hilo has its own firmware. There are also updates for this card available that, similarly,
can improve functionality and expand the feature set. Fortunately, both can be updated from the same downloadable application for
Windows or Mac OS X. Here are the steps to insure that your Hilo is up to date and in top form:
1. Make sure that your Hilo has a valid USB connection to the computer. Windows users will need to make sure that current
drivers are installed.
2. Visit www.lynxstudio.com
3. Select your OPERATING SYSTEM from the list, "Hilo" as the PRODUCT, and "All Types" for FILE TYPE. Click
"Search".
4. Download the Hilo Firmware Updater. Double Click to launch it.
5. Follow the prompts (Windows Users need to accept the EULA) until you reach the Hilo Firmware Update screen. Verify
that the "New Firmware Version" is higher than the "Current Firmware Version". If so, click "Update".
The Hilo LCD screen will display a warning screen that reads "Do not turn off the computer or the Hilo during the firmware
updater process". There is also a progress bar.
6.
When the Update is complete, you will be instructed to power down Hilo. Turn off the front panel standby switch. Then turn
off the rear panel power switch. Wait three seconds, then power Hilo back up.
and click Support > Downloads.
