Operating Software Version Number
The version number is briefly shown on the
snapshot display on power up. Make sure the
system amplifiers are muted or turned off before
switching the console on or off. This example
displays version 1.20
Loading New Operating Software
Check the Allen & Heath Web site for the latest
version of console software. New software is
loaded from a PC via the RS232 port.
IMPORTANT ! The current console settings and
snapshots may be lost when you load new
operating software. If you wish to keep your
settings and snapshot contents, first archive them
using the dump out facility. Restore these after
loading the new software by using dump in.
Download the software from the Allen & Heath Web
site to your PC computer. Connect the PC RS232
port to the console RS232 port using a standard
pin-to-pin (not null modem) 9-pin serial cable. Set
the console rear panel switch to the RS232 position.
Power up the console. The snapshot display
should read UPd (update) as the console awaits
data from the PC. Follow the instructions provided
on the Web site for loading the new software into
the console. When completed make sure you set
the console rear panel switch back to the MIDI
position.
