5.5.3 Getting information about the current device state
When programming a device, in the configuration window the State segment can be
found. This segment provides various information about the device's current state, e.g.
the battery level, the system date and time or the firmware version used.
The data refer to the time of the last data readout.
In order to get the latest information, you can read the device's configuration. (For this,
locate the switched on device within the computer's radio range, select the device in the
directory tree of the SDV-3 software, click on Program in the multifunction bar and then
on Read in the appearing configuration window.)
5.6 Updating the firmware of a device
SebaKMT makes improved versions of the firmware available in the download area of
www.sebakmt.com on a regular basis. We recommend that you keep the firmware of all
devices current at all times.
In order to determine which firmware version is currently installed on a device, you can
read the device's configuration. (For this, locate the switched on device within the
computer's radio range, select the device in the directory tree of the SDV-3 software,
click on Program in the multifunction bar and then on Read in the appearing
configuration window.) The version of the firmware is displayed in the State segment of
the configuration window.
All data stored in the device’s internal memory may be deleted by the firmware
update. Therefore, retrieve all data from the device before carrying out an
update.
