APPENDIX A: Software Upgrades

Introduction

This chapter describes how to download a software update file to your computer,
transfer it to a USB flash drive and install the updated into an eAMP1-S8-DA.

Download the Software

The eAMP1-S8-DA software update can be found at http://www.wohler.com, under
Product Downloads on the Products > eAMP1-S8-DA page, in Support > Downloads
> Drivers & Software, or contact Wohler Customer Support for more information.
Unzip the downloaded update files to reveal two files. One will have a suffix of .wx
and the other will have a suffix of .md5sum. Both files are needed for the upgrade.

Update Methods

There are several software update methods. Select one of them, depending upon
your needs:
1. Local update from the front panel of the eAMP1-S8-DA: This straightforward
method does not require the use of the Web GUI. A flash drive containing the
update is plugged into the front panel USB socket and the update is then
accomplished using the self-contained menu system. If this method seems
most suitable, then refer to the
this chapter.
2. Remote update using the Web GUI with a flash drive connected to the
eAMP1-S8-DA: It may be more convenient to update the product using a
flash drive plugged into its front panel USB socket, but controlled remotely
via the Web GUI. To update the product this way, refer to the

3. Remote update without a flash drive: This method allows you to update a
networked eAMP1-S8-DA remotely without plugging a flash drive into its
front panel USB socket. To update the product this way, refer to the
an eAMP1-S8-DA Remotely
4. Update multiple units remotely at once: This method allows you to update
multiple networked eAMP1-S8-DA units at once, without plugging flash drives
into their front panel USB sockets. To update products this way, refer to the
