Upgrading the Matrox Imaging operating
system
If you have upgraded Matrox Design Assistant, you might be required to update
the version of the Matrox Imaging operating system (MIOS) on Matrox Iris GTR.
You can configure the MILConfig utility on your development computer to
receive updates, if you have purchased a maintenance plan. You can then use this
update to upgrade the camera. For more information on purchasing the
maintenance plan, contact your Matrox representative.
Warning An upgrade will erase all information on the Matrox Iris GTR storage drive. If
you have made changes to a deployed project from its operator view, it is
recommended that in Matrox Design Assistant, you synchronize recipes between
the runtime and the design time project. Also, import all recipes that you created
at runtime, copy all image folders that are stored on Matrox Iris GTR, and back
up any validation sets that you need to continue using after the upgrade.
To upgrade the Matrox Imaging operating system (MIOS) on your Matrox
Iris GTR, perform the following:
1. Connect remotely to your Matrox Iris GTR from Matrox Design Assistant.
Matrox Design Assistant will detect a version mismatch and prompt you to
upgrade. When you accept this prompt, an Update dialog will appear.
2. In the Update dialog, browse to the location on your development computer
where MILConfig stored the new MIOS ISO file (.iso). This is generally in the
same location as where your Matrox Design Assistant upgrade package is stored.
3. Once the MIOS ISO file has been selected, click on the Update button in the
Update dialog and your update will begin.
The ISO file will be copied to Matrox Iris GTR; then, the camera will power cycle.
Some early production cameras do not have the ability to automatically power
cycle; instead, they will display a timeout message once the bar is fully green, and
you will have to power cycle the camera manually. Upon power cycling, the camera
is upgraded.
