17. Updating the operating system
The operating system (OS) is the heart of the instrument and can now be updated by the end user without the need
to return the instrument to Megger or an approved repair centre.
There are several reasons for updating the OS. They include:
Feature or functional upgrades or additions
To maintain alignment with electrical test standards
Fixing issues or bugs within the operating system
Updates are possible when an update is available from the Megger web site, or when advised to do so by Megger
Technical Support staff.
To get access to the instrument updates you need to register your instrument on the Megger website:
www.Megger.com/register
NOTE : Operating system updates do NOT over-write the calibration constants stored in the instrument.
17.1 To update your instrument operating system:
The update process installs the new OS from a microSD card. It is important to use a blank microSD card for this
purpose.
The microSD card MUST be removed after the update has been completed, or the instrument will try to install the
update again.
NOTE : Minimum recommended microSD card size is 4 Gb and the Maximum card size is 32 Gb.
NOTE : The card must be formatted to the FAT32 format.
17.1.1 Download the latest operating system onto microSD card
1. Ensure the microSD card is blank before use.
2. Log into the Megger.com website and select the country option for your region.
3. Go to the SOFTWARE page for the MFT-X1. (visit: www.megger.com/mft-x1)
4. Locate the MFT-X1 update ZIP file.
5. Unzip this file to your SD card. It contains the instructions for updating the operating system and the required
.BIN file.
6. Check the version on the SD card is later than the version installed in the instrument. The version on the
instrument can be found in the Instrument information section of the Settings section.
NOTE : Recommended microSD card format: FAT32
NOTE : Maximum microSD card size: 32 Gb
