3.2.3 Conserve GS550 Configuration When Updating Firmware
The LSI Firmware PDA Software can conserve the actual (old) system configuration, including the
sensor list and radius parameters, when updating firmware in a GS550 display. When this option is

firmware. If a problem occurs during the firmware update, then the saved configuration file will be
displayed in the LSI Firmware Charts/Config list on the PDA. The configuration can then be re-
turned to the GS550 by following the instructions “Transfer Firmware Files from the PDA to a
