Periodic firmware updates will be released. The firmware files will be available from the
SonTek website (http://www.sontek.com) or by contacting SonTek Technical Support. If
you have upgraded your desktop software, but not your firmware, the software will notify
you that a firmware upgrade is available upon connection with the FlowTracker2 (shown
in Figure 14:19). The firmware file needs to first be downloaded and saved onto the
computer used to connect to the FlowTracker2. The Upgrade function will open a dialog
to select the FlowTracker2 firmware file. Select the appropriate file and click 'Open' –
the firmware upgrade will begin automatically. First, the firmware file will be uploaded to
the handheld device. Then, the handheld device will disconnect automatically from the
computer, and will perform the upgrade. When the upgrade is complete, the handheld
will restart automatically.
Occasional firmware upgrade files may or may not include an upgrade to the
FlowTracker2 probe firmware. Because the ADV probe has its own set of electronics, it
has its own firmware that may periodically need updating. When the Handheld firmware
is upgraded using the software, the probe firmware is not automatically performed until
the Handheld queries the probe. This means that when the probe is accessed (to take a
measurement, see its firmware version, perform a beam check, etc.), the probe firmware
will automatically be updated, and requires no additional steps by the user. The user will
see a pop-up on the Handheld software indicating that the probe firmware upgrade is
taking place.
Do not manually disconnect or turn off the device during a firmware upgrade process.
Doing so will interrupt the firmware upgrade and potentially cause serious corruptions on
the handheld device. It is recommended to use the USB direct connection when
upgrading firmware to avoid possible wireless connection interruptions.
