Chapter 10 Update Operations
The internal programming of the MaxiCOM Diagnostic System, known as the firmware,
can be updated using the Update application. Firmware updates increase the
MaxiCOM applications’ capabilities, typically by adding new tests, new models, or
enhanced applications to the database.
The display device automatically searches for available updates for all of the MaxiCOM
components when it is connected to the internet. Any updates that are found can be
downloaded and installed on the device. This section describes installing an update to
the MaxiCOM Diagnostic System firmware. A notification message displays if an update
is available when the Notifications function is enabled in the Settings application (See
8.1.5 Notification Center on page 80 for details).
