7.14 Updating the Firmware

The module is shipped with the most recent firmware version. The firmware for the
module is also included in Chromeleon.
To check which firmware version is installed in the module and which version is included in
Chromeleon:
• Firmware version in the module
- Turn on the module by pressing the power switch on the rear of the module. General
information about the module appears on the pump display, including the firmware
version.
- On the pump display, select the Diagnostics menu (→ page 102) and select Firmware
version.
• Firmware version in Chromeleon
- In the Server Configuration program, open the configuration pages for the module
(→ page 53). On the General page, the firmware version is displayed (→ page 46).
- In the Windows Explorer, locate the IQReport.log file in the IQ folder of your
Chromeleon installation. In the file, search for NCS3000.hex (also for the
NCP-3200RS).
Tip: When updating the firmware in the module from Chromeleon, this information
will also be provided during the download (see further down in this section).
Whenever a new firmware version is released for the module, the new version will be
provided with the next Chromeleon Service Release and described in the release notes.
The new firmware will not be downloaded automatically to the module when you install a
Chromeleon Service Release. To update the firmware, follow these steps:
Important: To ensure that the download is successful, make sure that the
communication between the module and Chromeleon is not interrupted
during the download and that you do not turn off the module.
Important: Au cours du téléchargement, assurez-vous que la communication entre
l'instrument et Chromeleon n'est pas interrompue et n'arrêtez pas
l'instrument. Ceci peut entraîner des dysfonctionnements de
l'instrument.
