Update Screen
Use this Update screen to view the software version currently installed on the converter
or install new software.
NOTE: When discussing Mini-Converters, “Firmware” is software that will be stored in the Mini-
Converter’s non-volatile memory and used when it is powered up. This is something different
than the Mini-Config application software. The version numbers shown in the Update screen
refer only to the firmware.
Installed: This field shows the version of the firmware currently installed inside the Mini-Converter.
Desired: This field shows the version of firmware embedded in the Mini-Config application which
you can install into the Mini-Converter by clicking the Update button.
Update This button initiates a firmware update operation loading the “Desired” version of
firmware into the Mini-Converter’s non-volatile memory.
Progress: This indicator bar shows the progress of firmware installation.
