Setup Procedures: Flasher Software Utility Upgrade
Flasher Software Utility Upgrade
The Corometrics Flasher is a software utility program which uses one of the
monitor’s RS-232 serial ports to upgrade to a newer software release; or to install a
purchased option such as fetal movement detection. Each Flasher disk contains the
software upgrade for one-time use only. (In other words, you need an individual
Flasher disk for each monitor being upgraded.) Table 4-6 lists the Flasher kits
available for the 170 Series.
