CHAPTER 5  COMMUNICATION 61
SSMM rmware version date is more recent than the sensor rmware version date, the
newer rmware will need to be installed; if the sensor’s rmware date is more recent than
the SSMM rmware version date, a warning will appear notifying you that older rmware
will be uploaded to the sensor (see Figure 5.13).
Figure 5.13 – Sensor Firmware Downgrade (left) Back Up Configuration (right)
If the downgrade message appears, it means that the sensor rmware is newer than the ver-
sion of SSMM that was used to connect to the sensor. e newest version of SSMM can be
downloaded from www.wavetronix.com.
If you are upgrading from certain versions of SSMM, the upgrade may cause you to lose
your sensor conguration. Follow the steps in the back up message to back up your sensor’s
conguration.
Note
If you are upgrading the software, it is always a good idea to back up your sensor con-
figuration. There is always a chance that the sensor configuration could be lost after
upgrading. You can create a back up file by going to the Tools screen (see Chapter 10).
Click the UPLOAD FIRMWARE button to install the rmware embedded in SSMM onto
the SmartSensor Matrix. e Recheck button will query the sensor to see if the rmware
bundled in SSMM is dierent than the version running on the sensor.
