7.6.2 Performing firmware system update
The firmware system update enables all Saveris components (with the
exception of the Saveris cockpit unit) in your system to be automatically
updated to the latest firmware version. This ensures that all
components in your system have the current firmware version.
Please note that a firmware update of Saveris cockpit units must be
carried out separately.
Important information on the firmware system update
• Please note that two firmware system updates (V1.X and V2.X) are available
with the testo Saveris measurement data monitoring system.
First check exactly which firmware update is valid for your system. You can
check the compatibility of the firmware versions via the order number on
your Saveris base's type plate
o Firmware system update V1.X
valid for testo Saveris systems with Saveris base order no. 0572 0120,
0572 0121, 0572 0160, 0572 0161
o Firmware system update V2.X
valid for testo Saveris systems with base order no. 0572 0220, 0572
0221, 0572 0260, 0572 0261
• The time taken for the firmware system update depends on the number of
Saveris components in the system. Automatic distribution of the firmware to:
o Saveris converters and Saveris extenders require at least 3 minutes
for the standard communication cycle + 2 minutes per component.
o Saveris Ethernet data loggers require at least 3 minutes for the
standard communication cycle + 2 minutes per component.
o Saveris routers require at least 6.5 hours (all registered routers are
updated in parallel).
o Saveris radio data loggers in stationary use require at least 16 hours
(all registered Saveris radio data loggers are updated in parallel).
• The Saveris base must be connected to the computer via USB or Ethernet
cable.
• All Saveris components must have at least firmware version 1.12 for the
update. System components with firmware version < V 1.12 can only be
updated via service interface.
• For an update to version 4.6 SP1, the components must have the following
firmware version as a minimum requirement:
o For V1.x systems: testo Saveris software 4.6 SP1, Saveris base and
Saveris radio data logger V1.90, Saveris router, Saveris converter and
Saveris extender V2.59, Saveris Ethernet data logger V1.47
o For V2.x systems: testo Saveris software 4.6 SP1, Saveris base and
Saveris radio data logger V2.59, Saveris router, Saveris converter and
Saveris extender V2.59, Saveris Ethernet data logger V1.47
