    Upgrading the IMC To upgrade the software in the IMC, use the following procedure. You must have the upgrade software available on diskette or other media, as well as a Ymodem file-transfer program such as SynCraft available before you begin the procedure. Outputs are not affected during the IMC upgrade procedure.
