5.6 Updating the Firmware
5.6.1 Introduction
In order to prevent a factory recall in case of a firmware
update, the IMC15 can be updated using portable flash cards.
The firmware consists of three parts. The program code, the
parameter files (inifiles) and the display file. As will be descri-
bed in the following sections, it is possible to either update the
whole firmware or only parts of it.
5.6.2 Flash Card and Handling
The update is stored on a so-called flash card, as used in con-
sumer electronics goods (cameras, MP3 players, pocket PCs
etc.)
The flash card contains electronic memory devices and is,
therefore, sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Handle
with care and avoid touching the contacts.
