ATTENTION: Valid firmware files must have the file extension .S19. Any other file
extension is not a firmware upgrade and could cause the SMX to cease functioning.

installed firmware.

selected .S19 file will reprogram the device firmware.

new firmware upgrade will cause the SMX to reset, which will terminate the connection
with your computer and close the control software. Click
OK .
If you want to continue using the SMX Control Program, restart it.
