4.3.7. Update / Downgrade

A firmware update or downgrade is a very sensitive process. Possibly, a reset of the main
communication to RS232 may occur. In any case, consider the information regarding the
compatibility in the software version list.
Firmware Update
Caution:
!
Before starting a firmware update, please check on the basis of the software version
list whether there are any version dependencies that must be observed.
For example: when changing from Version 04.00.xx to version 04.01.xx, at least version
04.00.23.769 or higher must be present in order to run the update to version 04.01.xx success-
fully.
Firmware Downgrade
A firmware downgrade is not recommended.
We are constantly working towards improving the software/firmware; all functionalities are still in-
cluded in new versions. New software always offers better functionalities and possible bugs are
fixed.
Caution:
!
When performing a firmware downgrade the firmware has to be transmitted to the
device twice. This has technical reasons. Errors shown on the display of the device
after the first transfer can be ignored.
