4. Upgrades
From time to time as modifications are made to Merlin, it is necessary to
update the Firmware and/or BusEngine for optimal performance. Upgrades
can be performed two ways: either automatically or manually. This chapter
describes both procedures.
4.1 Software, Firmware, and BusEngine Revisions
The Readme.txt file on the first installation disk and in the installed
directory gives last-minute updates about the current release. Included with
each release are the most recent downloadable images of the Firmware and
the BusEngine. The Readme.txt file lists the latest versions and informs
you if new Firmware or a new BusEngine needs to be updated in your
hardware.
Once the Analyzer has completed the self diagnostics and is connected to
the PC, you can check the latest revision of the software and BusEngine:
• Selecting About Merlin… in the Help Menu.
You see this screen:
About Merlin details revisions of the following software and hardware:
•
Merlin Software Version
• Merlin Firmware Version
• BusEngine Version
• Unit Serial Number
Note When contacting CATC for technical support, please have available all the
revisions reported in the About Merlin window.
