HTO-1103 FlexStat Firmware Flash Upgrade Kit 2 Installation Guide, Rev. N
NOTE: FlexStat firmware is upgraded using the
(software) Firmware Upgrade Tool and the
(hardware) adapter plate and programming
pod in the kit. You will need Version 2.1.0.3
or later of the Firmware Upgrade Tool.
Download and install the latest FlexStat
firmware and the Firmware Upgrade Tool
software before connecting the FlexStat to
the computer.
NOTE: To use the KMC Firmware Upgrade Tool
software, the Windows XP, Vista, 7, or
8 operating system as well as Microsoft
.NET Framework (ver. 4 or later) must be
installed on the computer.
To verify that the correct version of
Microsoft .NET Framework is installed:
select Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove
Programs (or Programs and Features). Scroll
through the list of programs to locate the
versions of Microsoft .NET. If Microsoft
.NET 4 or later is in the list, close the dialog
box. No further action is required.
If .NET 4 or later is not installed, it is
available as a free download from the
Microsoft web site (www.microsoft.com).
The installation program will automatically
check for Microsoft.NET. If it is not
installed, a dialog opens during installation
with a link to Microsoft.NET on the
Microsoft web site. Follow the link and
choose version 4.0. If you choose Microsoft.
NET version 4.0 you will also have to install
Silverlight.
NOTE: Before installing the KMC Firmware
Upgrade Tool, exit all open programs. Turn
off screen savers and hibernation modes.
As an alternative, set screen savers and
hibernation to 30 minutes or longer.
