12 Updating the OTT netDL firmware
The operating program provides the option of updating the OTT netDL firmware
(operating system). By continuously developing the operating system, you will thus
be provided with the extended functionality for the
OTT netDL, even with the same hardware.
By accessing the OTT website (www.ott.com; "myOTT" section) from time to time,
stay informed on the current version of the OTT netDL firmware.
How to update the firmware:
Download the new version of the firmware (file: e.g. "SLI_netDL_V2.50.1.bin")
from the website.
Move the "SLI_netDL_Vx.xx.x.bin" file into the installation directory of the oper-
ating program.
Establish the PC/OTT netDL communication link (refer to Chapter 8.2).
In the "OTT netDL ..." menu, select the "New program code" option.
Select the current update file and then click on the "Open" button. (The oper -
ating program automatically changes to its installation directory.)
Acknowledge the confirmation by selecting "Yes" ➝ The operating program
copies the new firmware to the OTT netDL unit (LCD display: "Update in
progress"). Then the OTT netDL will restart and automatically resume process-
ing its measuring and communicating jobs.
Please note: During update, make sure that the communication link is not
aborted (e.g. by accidentally answering calls on the data transfer cable). If the
communication link is aborted, the firmware will no longer be executable! In
the same way, no other programs should be started or files opened during the
copying process!
Note
The measured values saved in the OTT netDL are not lost after an update.
