Model LM16 [Upgrading the software]

Upgrading the software

Checking the current software version

You can check the current software version by the following procedure.

(1)Turn off the power of the unit.

(2)Disconnect the CAT-5 cable that connects the main and control units.

You only have to disconnect either end of the cable.

(3)Turn on the power of the unit.

(4)After ten or more seconds from turning on the power, connect the CAT-5 cable again.

After the communication between the main and control units is made, the version information of the main unit is shown. The [PEAK] indicators for the input channels on the control (mixer) unit shows the date, while the level meters shows the version number (see the next section for details about how to show these information). While the current software version is shown, the indicator for the [STOP] key flashes.

<Memo>: By pressing the [] switch, the version information of the control unit is shown. Pressing the [] switch re- turns to show the version information of the main unit. If you do not press the [] or [] switch for more than five seconds after the version informa- tion appears, the LM16 automatically stops showing the version information. While you keep pressing the [] or [] switch, the LM16 keeps showing the version information.

(5)To dismiss version information manually, press the [STOP] key.
