2.2 Turning ON/OFF

EMSIS is connected to the avionics power bus, therefore the instrument normally turns on as soon as the
avionics is switched on and a couple of seconds later, it is ready for the operation. This is the default
behaviour.
However, in some situations, the behaviour mentioned above is not suitable. In this case you can order a
special version 1 , which can be switched on or off using the power button. Please note that a minor
hardware modification is required. This must be done in factory.

2.3 Updating EMSIS Software

The EMSIS software is under constant development and if you want to keep your EMSIS up to date, you
should update your EMSIS regularly. This section describes actions required to update the software.
The update for EMSIS is performed in two steps:

downloading new software,

copying new software into EMSIS.

2.3.1 Downloading Software

The software updates are located in the EMSIS/Updates section of our web site;
http://www.kanardia.eu/downloads/emsis.
Click on the update file and save it to a hard drive of your PC. The update file name is Update.kus. Never
change the name of the file. This file must be copied on SD card, more precisely into the base (root) folder
of the card. Once file was copied, please make sure to safely remove SD card from PC.
EMSIS software versions 2.4 and earlier support only micro SD cards with capacity 2 GB or less. Later
versions also recognise HDSD cards with a higher capacity.
1 Typical use of this option is in a glider.
