CHAPTER 5 • COMMUNICATION

Click the Details button to view the firmware versions of both the SSMM software and the

SmartSensor Matrix.

Once the Version Control screen appears, you can do one of the following:

Upgrade the sensor’s embedded software by clicking the UPLOAD FIRMWARE button.

Click the Close button and continue the configuration process.

Find the version of SSMM software that is compatible with the sensor’s embedded

software.

Note

Clicking the

Close button and continuing configuration without upgrading may cause

problems with functionality.

If any row is highlighted in red, the firmware upgrade may need to be installed. Compare

the sensor number with the SSMM number in the Digital row of the details table. If the

SSMM firmware version date is more recent than the sensor firmware version date, the

newer firmware will need to be installed; if the sensor’s firmware date is more recent than

the SSMM firmware version date, a warning will appear notifying you that older firmware

will be uploaded to the sensor (see Figure 5.12).

Figure 5.12 – Sensor Firmware Downgrade (left) Back Up Configuration (right)

If the downgrade message appears, it means that the sensor firmware is newer than the ver-

sion of SSMM that was used to connect to the sensor. The newest version of SSMM can be

downloaded from www.wavetronix.com.
