CAENUpgrader
CAENUpgrader is a free software composed of command line tools together with a Java Graphical User Interface.
Specifically for the DT5730/DT5725, CAENUpgrader allows in few easy steps to:
• Upload different firmware versions on the board
• Select which copy of the stored firmware must be loaded at power-on
• Read the firmware release of the board and the bridge (when used)
• Manage the firmware license, in case of pay firmware
• Upgrade the internal PLL
• Get the Board Info file, useful in case of support
CAENUpgrader can operate with Windows and Linux, 32 and 64-bit OSs.
The program relies on the CAENComm and CAENVMELib libraries (see § 10) and requires third-party Java SE6 (or later)
to be installed.
Note: Windows version of CAENUpgrader is stand-alone (the required libraries are installed locally with the program),
while the version for Linux needs the required libraries to be previously installed by the user.
