Installation and Initial Commissioning
206 / 234 H172203_1_001
With every TopSpin installation there are also the necessary firmware files installed on the
workstation. In addition, the latest firmware versions can be downloaded from the Swiss FTP
server. The actual download to the hardware must be performed by the customer or by a
service engineer. This ensures that there is no accidental overwriting of currently loaded
firmware versions.
1. One must make sure that the file BsmsCheckDownload.txt is up to date - if necessary, this
file can be downloaded from the Swiss FTP server.
2. The file BsmsCheckDownload.txt has to be transmitted to the BSMS.
3. According to the BsmsCheckDownload.txt file and the hardware codes of the connected
subsystems the required firmware versions are evaluated and displayed, outdated or
incompatible versions are marked as not ok and a related error message is issued.
4. Missing firmware files can be downloaded from the ftp.bruker.ch FTP server. When all the
necessary files are available on the local hard disk, the outdated firmware components
(marked as not ok) must be installed on the corresponding BSMS subsystems.
Note 1): When a new ELCB, SPB or SCB20 firmware is being loaded, the shim currents are
ramped down slowly before the hardware reset - to minimize eddy currents in the magnet.
After restart (or after power up), the shims are started up softly as well. The timing of the shim
ramp can be adjusted in the Shim Configuration submenu (Shim Soft Start/Shut Down
Duration).
