button to select the file, and download the new version to the meter.
● Click Show Version to see which version of firmware is currently loaded in the
meter. If a later version of firmware is available, download it from the DENT
Instruments web site.
Once you have new firmware on your computer, ViewPoint will let you install that
firmware for each meter of the same model that is connected without having to
download it again. The firmware is saved wherever your browser saves files by default,
or in a folder selected when downloading.
ViewPoint also checks for new versions of the ViewPoint application. When ViewPoint
starts, it can automatically contact the DENT Instruments web site to get the latest
versions available. It only checks online when running for the first time, or if it has been
seven days since the last check. If there is a new version, the version number of the
new release displays.
1. Click Browse to access the Select a Firmware Update File dialog box, and select
the .hex file downloaded from the web site.
2. Do one of the following:
– Click Check for Updates Online to automatically determine if the connected
meter has the latest version of the firmware or software.
– Select the Don't check online for firmware or ViewPoint updates check box to
disable this feature.
3. Do one of the following:
– Click Update to send the latest version to the meter.
– Click Cancel Update to stop the meter updating process.
NOTE:
If the baud rate was changed using an RS-485 for the firmware update, restore the
