Installation Instructions & Release Notes

REVERTING TO A PREVIOUS SOFTWARE VERSION

To revert to a previous version of 960L software, follow the same procedure outlined on pages 3
to 5 using the release CD for the desired software version. There is one special consideration:
When upgrading to Version 2.5, the software recognizes prior versions of user registers and
automatically converts them to a compatible format. The 960L software is not able to convert
back from later versions.
Therefore, when performing a "back-rev," erase all user registers before inserting the release CD.
It is recommended to save them first, noting the software version of the user registers.
1. Using the front panel standby button, power down the 960L, wait a few seconds, then power
up the system again. As soon as the LARC2 receives power, go to Menu Mode by pressing
and holding the PROGRAM and MACHINE keys at the same time. Hold them until the
following message appears:
Requesting menu mode from 960L . . .
Once this message appears, release the buttons. The 960L will take a little longer to boot than
normal. As soon as it is booted, a menu should appear on the LARC2. Ignore any messages
that concern locking the CD.
2. Select this item from the menu:
7) Erase User Registers & Restore Factory Default Settings
Once this process is complete, follow the installation instructions outlined on pages 4 and 5 using
the release CD for the desired software version. A few messages will differ slightly. When
checking the software version (see Step 7 on page 5), refer to the release notes for the software
version being installed to determine software revisions for the LARC2 and the 960L mainframe.

RELEASE NOTES

• When configuring systems with two DSP cards, there are no longer two soft buttons labeled
CONFIG 1 and CONFIG 2. In Version 2.5, there is one soft button labeled CONFIG v. When
pressed, a menu will appear allowing selection of the desired DSP card for configuration. In
systems with one DSP card, there is no change.
• The ability to use double-button presses to access options has been removed in order to
support future functionality.
• Reverb algorithms now allow input levels to be set to a maximum level of 0dB. In some
previous releases, –6dB was the maximum.
