What's New
Several new firmware versions, ADCP Feature Upgrades, and software pro-
grams have been released since the last update of the Workhorse Technical
Manual.
3.1
Firmware Updates
The 8.xx series firmware has been frozen. Thus, new features will only be
available to users with the 16.xx firmware. If you have a Workhorse ADCP
with version 8.xx firmware and wish to upgrade to version 16.xx firmware,
please check the following items.
Who should upgrade?
• Users planning to take advantage of new features (i.e. Waves).
What do you need to upgrade?
• The CPU board must have EEPROM Parts installed. The firm-
ware upgrade program WH16FW.exe checks if the ADCP is ca-
pable of upgrading to version 16.xx firmware.
How do I upgrade?
a. Connect your ADCP to the computer.
b. Start the program WH16FW.exe. Click Setup. Click the View
README.TXT button to view the Readme.txt file for details on what
is new in version 16.xx firmware.
c. Click Next and follow the on-screen prompts.
d. If you are not able to install the version 16.xx firmware, contact Cus-
tomer Service and arrange for a CPU board replacement.
e. After successfully upgrading the firmware, use BBTalk to test the ADCP.
3.2
Feature Upgrades
Feature Upgrades can be installed to enhance the operation of the ADCP.
The feature upgrade installation program is used to install Bottom Tracking,
Shallow Water Bottom Mode, Lowered ADCP (LADCP), Water Profiling
(for Navigators), High-Resolution Water-Profiling mode, High Ping Rate,
and Waves capabilities in a Workhorse ADCP. For more instructions on
how to install the upgrades, see the
Format
Guide.
