10.5 ThetisUpgrades
Installingupdatesissimplythesameprocessasacleaninstall.Howeverattheendoftheprocess,
THETISwillnotneedtore‐runtheFFTtests.Youwillgetamessagesayingthatthedatabasewillbe
updatedtoanewversion;letthisruntocompletion,thenre
‐runTHETIS.
10.6 DatabaseReset
Occasionallyitisrecommendedtocarryout adatabasereset.Thisresetsallsettingstoinitial,“safe”
values.Therearetwooccasionswhenthiscouldbeneeded:afteramajorupdate,whichhas
changedtoomanysettingstobeindividuallydescribed;andifyouhaveeditedsettingsinawaythat

turnedouttobeinappropriate,andyoucannotrecover.
Toprepareforthisconsiderthefollowingactionstopreservechangesthatyouwanttoreinstate:
 Makescreenshotsofimportantorcomplexsettings,forinstanceamplifiercalibrationvalues.
 UseMenu>Setup>Transmit>ExportCurrentProfileto
exportimportantand/orcomplex
transmitprofiles.
 UseMenu>Setup>CAT>ConfigureMIDI>ManageMappings>ExportMappingstoexport
MIDIsettings.
Youcannowcarryoutthedatabasereset.OpentheMenu>SetupformandclicktheDatabase
Resetbuttonatbottomleft.Itwillissueawarning;clickYestoproceed.

Torestoreanysavedsettings:
 ForeachtransmitprofileexporteditcanbeimportedusingMenu>SetupImportDatabase.
Itwillrequireaseparateimportcycleforeachprofile.
 MIDIsettingscanbeimportedusingthe“ImportMappings”functionthatwasadjacentto
the“ExportMappings”functionreferredtoabove.
Acopyofaninitialiseddatabasewillbeprovidedin“mydocuments”.Thiscanbeimportedinthe
setup
formtoresetsettingstothoseappropriatetoANDROMEDA.ThisincludesfactoradjustedPA
gain.
10.7 Reflashingfirmware
TheFPGAbootloadercoderesidesinprotectedportionoflowersegmentsofflashmemory.The
FPGAfirmwarefitsintheaddressrangeabovethebootloadercode.Dependingonthepositionof
thebootloaderswitch,eitherthebootloadercodeortheradiofirmwareistransferredtotheFPGA
forexecution.
ANDROMEDAuses
thesamefirmwarefilesastheANAN‐7000DLEandANAN‐8000DLEradios.For
operationwithTHETIS,Protocol2firmwareisessential.
Adefinitiveguidetothefirmwareupdateprocesscanbefoundhere :
