Updating CAN Nodes

on the Viper Pro

Console

Viper Pro field computers with version 3.0 or higher software are capable of programming nodes on the
CANbus directly through the Viper Pro using a USB flash drive with the CAN Update program.

Note:

Before trying to update a CAN Node, make sure the node is communicating properly over the
CANbus. If the node is not communicating properly, the Viper Pro will be unable to update the
node.

The CAN Update program and node updates are available by contacting the Raven customer support center at
1-800-243-5435.

To Update CAN Nodes

1.

Start the Viper Pro and access the Program Selection Menu screen.

Note:

If the field computer is already powered up, touch the Menu button and select Exit. Select the Exit
to Menu
option on the Exit Viper screen.

2.

Insert the USB flash drive with the CAN Update program and required .hex files into an available USB port
on the Viper Pro field computer.

NOTICE

Updating a CAN node erases the current
settings in the node. To retain settings and
calibration data, be sure to write down all
settings stored by the node(s) being updated.
