Appendix D. Upgrading the Operating
System

The storage module operating system is stored in flash memory. (It is NOT

deleted when the storage module is reset.) It is possible to upgrade the operating

system using Campbell Scientific’s CSOS download utility. Please contact

Campbell Scientific for a copy of this utility compatible with the SM4M and

SM16M if you need to change the module operating system.

Collect any data stored in the module before upgrading the
operating system, as any data held in memory is irreversibly
erased during the upgrade process.

To load the operating system you will need to connect the module to a PC running

Windows, via an SC532 interface. Please follow the instructions supplied with

CSOS.

Do not attempt to load any operating system other than that designed for these

storage modules. Do not disconnect the power supply to the module during the

upgrade process, otherwise the module memory may be corrupted requiring a

factory repair.

After CSOS indicates the download is complete, wait until the green

LED on the SM goes out before using the SM. The green LED is on

while the SM completes the OS upgrade.
