To update the BusEngine,
Step 1 Click Update BusEngine on the Analyzer Setup screen.

Step 2 Click Open.
It is not necessary to restart the Analyzer. Once upgraded, the Analyzer
takes approximately 15 seconds to reinitialize, with Time Remaining
displayed on the screen. During this time the Trigger LED is on, indicating
that power-on diagnostics are being run. If there is a hardware failure, the
Trigger LED continues to blink after initialization is complete. If this
occurs, contact CATC for customer support.
