2.3 Firmware
This section deals with keeping the drive software version up-to-date.
The drive must be loaded with the correct software to operate. You will normally
receive the drive loaded with the correct software from the dealer. Firmware
upgrades are, however, available from time to time. You can download the latest
firmware from the Elmo web site. It is a text file with the .abs extension.

For version verification, use the VR command. It should return something like
Bell 2.02.07.21 10Dec2007. You can compare this string with the latest available
firmware at the Elmo web site.
