Upgrading the System and Transducer Software
As described in “About the System Software” on page 3, software upgrades are provided on CompactFlash cards,
which are installed in the back CompactFlash slot on the right hand side of the system. Upgrades provided may be
required or optional.
Whenever you install a CompactFlash card containing a newer version of software into the system, the system will
determine the level of software, prepare the system for the upgrade, and then install the new software onto the
system.
When a CompactFlash card contains new transducer software and the transducer that requires a software upgrade
is connected, the system prompts the user that the transducer requires the upgrade.
