8 FIRMWARE UPDATING
The SMP incorporates a function that allows the user to update the firmware for the apparatus.
The software used for the update is Fujitsu Flash MCU Programmer. It can be installed from
the installation CD ('Fujitsu Flash Programmer' folder).
This function should only be used when recommended by Wavecontrol and under our
supervision to avoid any malfunction of the apparatus caused by improper updating of
the firmware.
Figure 12: Aperture to reach the update button
To update the firmware, configure the apparatus in the ‘Firmware Update’. With the device
switched on, press the update button on the back of the SMP reached through a small aperture
in the case. You will need to use a thin, rigid tool to press the reset button. In this mode, the
screen is erased and all the functions of the apparatus are blocked until it is restarted.
Once the SMP in the ‘Firmware Update’ mode, follow this process:
1) Connect the SMP to the PC with a USB – mini USB cable. If the firmware update
driver has been installed correctly, the PC will recognise the apparatus as a USB - serial
port. In Start / Control panel / System / Hardware / Device manager / Ports (COM &
LTP), check the number of the COM port assigned to the SMP (USB Serial Port).
