Utilities

Overview

The latest software revisions will be posted on the SPS-500 dealer support page of the CRS website:
www.crs-usa.com. Software will be revised continually as anomalies are identified, repaired, and as new
features and peripherals are supported.
 Always verify that the latest software is installed prior to preparing equipment for installation. CRS
recommends the latest released software version for new installations.
NOTE: Software pre-installed on new equipment may not be the latest version.
 Monitor the CRS dealer page and your email for bulletins and software update information.
 Verify that the same software version is installed on all terminals in a multi-terminal installation.

Important: Updating Existing Installations

If you are performing an update on an existing installation, remember that you must perform a memory all
clear after installing updated software. Before updating an existing installation:
1. Save memory allocation, programs and reports (S/SRAMBACKUP).
2. Perform updates as necessary.
3. Clear all memory (use instructions in the previous chapter found on page 23.)
4. Restore previously saved memory allocation, programs and reports (S/SRAMBACKUP). (Note:
occasional format changes may prevent reloading of certain programs and/or reports.)

Update Methods

Operating system and application files can be updated directly by SD card. Updates instructions for update
by SD are documented in this chapter.
