Automatically Add
The Automatically Add menu has two settings that control what happens to stored Surfaces between shutdown and startup.
All Surfaces (Default)
This setting is best used when you are the only person running EuControl in your home or studio. It provides an easy
plug-and-play experience by automatically adding your All Surfaces list to your My Surfaces list so you never have to manually
edit the My Surfaces list.
My Surfaces Only
This setting is useful in facilities where other EuControl users are on your network. When EuControl starts, only the surfaces from
your My Surfaces list are added. Because a surface can only be claimed by one user at a time, this avoids claiming another user's
surfaces.
Update Firmware
Each time a new version of EuControl is installed, you might need to update firmware on your Artist Series controllers. The firm-
ware is embedded in EuControl software so an Internet connection is not required.
To update firmware:
Select each Artist Series controller in the My Surfaces list (Shift-click to select multiple devices).

Click Update Firmware to update their firmware. If a dialog displays a message that the firmware is up to date, no further action

is necessary.
Follow the instructions in the EuControl dialog box. While updating firmware, observe the following:

• The Artist Series controllers must be plugged into a working power source.
• Do not power off any units during the update or attempt to interrupt the update.
• The status for each unit being updated is displayed on that device as well as in the EuControl dialog box.
Show Info
Select an Artist media controller and click Show Info to display the name, and hardware and software information on-screen.
