VOLTECH AT3600 USER MANUAL FIRMWARE UPGRADES
4. FIRMWARE UPGRADES
The firmware of the AT3600 controls how tests are carried out, which tests are
available and how the interfaces (including the front panel) function. New versions of
the firmware are made available periodically and electronic copies are available free
of charge. To maximize the performance and longevity of your AT3600, you should
install these upgrades as they become available. Contact your local supplier or see
the Voltech website at http://www.voltech.com for details. Upgrade firmware is
distributed in a file called ‘AT36.ABS’.
If you have purchased new tests, you will be supplied with a file called
‘CUSTAT36.ABS’ which contains the tests you have requested as well as the latest
version of firmware. Save the file to a local or network directory (normally
‘C:\Program Files\Voltech Instruments\Voltech AT Editor\’.
You may also be supplied with a file called ‘BOOTAT36.ABS’. You must save this
file in the same directory. To upgrade, locate the ‘.ABS’ file and double click on it.
Then select:
Tester >
Download Firmware
The firmware upgrade will now commence, and the editor screen will show a series
of dialogue boxes to identify each stage in the process. The download should take
approximately 30 minutes.
In the unlikely event that the editor display shows an ‘ERROR’ dialogue box, before
the download is complete, then try repeating the entire procedure. Should the error
persist, then contact your Voltech distributor.
At the end of the download, the tester will reset itself. You may then carry on using
your tester as normal, with the benefits offered by the new firmware being available
immediately.
If you were supplied with a ‘BOOTAT36.ABS’ file, the tester will now check the
boot code version already inside the AT and upgrade this automatically if required.
!
WARNING: You must NOT switch off the AT or interrupt the
communications during the 7 minutes required for this part of the
upgrade.
