5. Update gauge firmware with new features
When new features are released by the manufacturer , users can download the new firmware from the
internet and automatically update their gauges to take advantage of the new features.
When the Configurator connects to a gauge, it checks the version of firmware running on the gauge
against the latest version of firmware it can find on the Retrotec website. If it finds a newer version the
user is notified by a yellow exclamation mark beside the gauge name, and when they click on [Firmware
Update] tab at the bottom of the Configurator, the [Download Update] button will be enabled as shown
in Figure 7 and Figure 8.

process for updating your gauge. The window shown in Figure 9 opens while the firmware file you will
need is automatically downloaded from the internet (Retrotec website). When prompted, click [Next] to
open the window shown in Figure 10.
