From time to time new software may be released for
the HD-P2. To update the HD-P2 software you will
copy the update file (e.g. UPDATE_1_1.BIN) to a CF
card and insert it into the HD-P2. You can also copy
the update file to the HD-P2 card while the system is
docked to a host computer over FireWire.
Whenever the HD-P2 detects an update file on an

wheel the backlight is turned back on and the timeout
period starts again.

project template, the HD-P2 uses these settings.
You can turn a project's settings into a template,
