Upgrading Firmware

Occasionally, it may be necessary to upgrade the rmware on the delay synchroniser to add

new functionality and x software bugs. New rmware updates will be made available from

time to time on the Sonifex website. Visit www.sonifex.co.uk for details.

The rmware is upgraded using the Serial Control Interface - SCI. This PC software

downloads the new rmware and initiates the upgrade process. To upgrade the rmware,

select the required rmware le in the SCI upgrade rmware section. The delay synchroniser

will automatically reboot and enter the bootstrap mode prior to the transfer of the rmware

le. The SCI software downloads the rmware to internal memory, and then erases the

current rmware before programming the update. When the rmware is complete, the unit

reboots with the new rmware.

Please note: Firmware les can take several minutes to transfer to the delay synchroniser at

lower baud rates. To speed up the process, select a higher baud rate prior to transferring the

new rmware.
