Downloading
Firmware for the
MultiPro Unit This section provides information to upgrade and add the core and protocol
firmware. Figure 4-21 provides a quick example of a local download for specific
task software.
Core firmware can be loaded with the DLL program. The core is loaded in units at
the factory along with protocols and applications per customer order. Since the
DLL program can download at a speed of 115.2 kbps, the core should take around
two minutes to download. When the unit is installed at a remote site and has
access to NMCS, the core and any other firmware may take around ten minutes
using NMCS, version 3.0 or higher. The firmware (files with a .HEX extension)
and the parameter (files with a .INI extension) files installed under the base NMCS
directory are required.
Downloading the core removes any previously downloaded firmware tasks. To
delete extra firmware tasks, create a new parameter file of the task to delete and
modify the field labeled Task_space_needed_1 to a value of 0000000; all seven
zeros are needed. The core firmware cannot be deleted.
The naming convention for firmware modules is as follows.
mmmhvvvo.hrr where
mmm is the module name.
