Finding and installing Loudness
Pilot firmware – OSX
You can download the latest version of the Loud-
ness Pilot firmware from:
tcelectronic.com/support/software/
►
On this page, locate the “Loudness Pilot”
section.
►
In this section of the support page, look for
“Firmware” and click the button represent-
ing the latest version of the Loudness Pilot
firmware.
Depending on your browser type and con-
figuration, a dialog may be shown asking you
what you want to do with this file. Choose
“Save”.
The software will be downloaded to your
browser’s default download location. Usually,
this is the “Downloads” folder for your user
account.
►
Go to the folder containing the file you just
downloaded.
►
If you are seeing a .ZIP file, double-click it to
extract its contents. However, your browser
may already have extracted the contents from
the .ZIP file automatically.
►
After the ZIP file has been extracted, you will
see a .tca file in the Finder.
In the next steps, you will select this .tca file in
the TC Icon software to transfer it to Loudness
Pilot.
For the first example, we will assume that you
have left the file at its default position (the
“Downloads” folder).
If you have moved the downloaded .tca file
somewhere else, or if you intend to use a .tca file
on a network or USB drive, you will have to spec-
ify the correct path in the “Common Software
Update Folder” field of TC Icon software accord-
ingly (see “Locating the Loudness Pilot firmware
file – example 2” on page 80).
►
Connect your Mac to the Loudness Pilot that
you want to update using an Ethernet cable.
►
Launch the TC Icon software on your Mac.
►
In the TC Icon software, select the Loudness
Pilot that you want to update.
►
Go to the Frame / System / Setup / Version
page.
Here, you will find the current software ver-
sion of your Loudness Pilot (shown as “Loud-
ness Pilot SW Version”). Note this version
number.
►
Go to the Frame / System / Setup / Update
page.
►
Click into the “Common Software Update
Folder” field.
►
Enter the path to the folder where the down-
loaded .tca file is located.
