System 3 Installation Guide
About the Microcode
The microcode is low-level software that resides in flash memory on the
System 3 processor devices. The microcode contains the DSP instructions for
the RPvdsEx processing components. Because the System 3 design allows you
to update this software quickly and efficiently, you can take advantage of the
latest software tools available without purchasing new equipment or sending
devices to our manufacturing facility for upgrades.
When should the microcode be updated?
Every time a new version of TDT Drivers is installed on the host PC, the
microcode should be updated on all processors in the system. This includes
programmable devices that may have been purchased prior to your new
system. New versions of the files needed to update the microcode are always
included in the TDT Drivers installation.
How is the microcode updated?
Users must update the microcode using the zBUSmon utility (zBusmon.exe).
This program is copied to the host PC during TDT Drivers installation and is
stored in the following directory: C:\TDT\zDrv3. For detailed instructions on
how the microcode is updated for specific TDT processors, check the System 3
Manual or the Updating Microcode FastFacts guide available on the TDT
website.
