Software updates and data backup

From time to time we release software updates to our existing
products. Updates are created for a variety of reasons; to add or
improve features, to add support for new external devices, or to fix
software bugs.
Updates can be found on the website: www.simrad-yachting.com
When the unit is connected to the internet, a pop-up can appear
advising that a software update is available and encourages you to
download the update.
The unit may be used to apply software updates to itself, and to
supported network devices, with files read off a memory card
inserted in the card reader.
Before initiating an update to the unit itself, be sure to back up any
potentially valuable user data.
Network analyzer and service assistant
The system has a built-in service assistant that creates a report of
the devices installed on the NMEA 2000 network such as the
software versions, serial numbers, and information from the settings
file to assist in technical support enquiries.
To use the analyzer, open the About page of the System settings
dialog and select Support. Two options are displayed:
Create report
Analyzes your network and prompts you for information required
for support and creates the report with information automatically
gathered from the network. You can add screenshots and log files
that will be attached to the report. There is a 20MB limit for the
report attachments. You can save the report to a memory card and
email it to support or upload it directly if you have an internet
connection. If you call technical support first, you can enter an
incident number to assist with tracking.
Check system for updates
Analyzes your network and checks if updates are available for
compatible devices.
Ú Note:
Connect your unit to the internet to check for the latest
available software versions. The software versions will be up to
date as of the last time you updated your unit or connected to
the internet.
