12. UPDATING THE INTERFACE FIRMWARE
The Xpress™ 512 and the Xpress™ 512-Plus interfaces feature the capability to update the internal
firmware via a USB connection. If for any reason CHAUVET® advices that this process is required for your
interface, in writing, then please follow the steps below.
1. CHAUVET® may provide a ZIP file via email transmission or other means. Extract this ZIP file to
find the EXE (executable) file.
2. Please the executable file in the following folder: [C:/PROGRAM FILES/SHOWXPRESS]
3. Connect the interface and install the necessary hardware drivers.
4. Double-click the firmware update executable file.
5. Select “press this button to upload firmware xxx”.
6. A confirmation message will appear indicating that the upload was successful. When you see
this message, wait for a period of 5 seconds
.
7. After waiting for the period above, disconnect the interface from the computer (remove the USB
cable). If you disconnect the interface too soon, you may destroy the interface permanently.
This firmware installation process is the same for both the Xpress™ 512 and the Xpress™ 512-Plus
interfaces.
Proceed at your own risk! CHAUVET® is not responsible for damage caused to any interface(s)
from this process!
This process is only possible when using a windows computer. The firmware cannot be updated
with a Mac OSX computer.
