5.0 Using FreeSpace® Installer™ Software

5.2.1 No hardware detected

If after launching the Installer™ software a hardware device is not found, the status window reports a failure to detect connected hardware:

In this case, clicking the Close button results in a blank hardware setup window.

Programmer’s Note: If you are not connected to the E4 hardware, you can see an example of the E4 front panel by opening the sample design file provided on the Installer CD. See “Sample design files” on page 36.

Programmer’s Note: To configure an E4 system, the E4 unit must be powered up. DO NOT switch the E4 unit to STANDBY mode while the Installer software is running.

Programmer’s Note: The Installer software does not notify you if there is a loss of communication between the E4 hardware and your PC.

5.2.2 Incompatible microcontroller code

If the FreeSpace® Installer™ software finds that your system is running an older version of firmware (microcontroller code), the following window appears, giving you the opportunity to upgrade the code.

Click Upgrade to upload the latest version of microcontroller code to the device. When the "Upload Complete" window appears, click Close. Then, finish the installation and configure your hardware device.

Programmer’s Note: Upgrading new software does not change any of your current configuration settings. When the upgrade is finished, your current configuration will be restored.

Click Cancel to exit the software and leave the device untouched. In this case you will need to go to http:// pro.bose.com and download Installer™ software version 1.1. You will need to install this version on your PC to be able to configure your hardware device.

5.2.3 Sample design files

Two sample design files are included with your FreeSpace® Installer™ software:

sample70V.fsi – for 70V E4 systems

sample100V.fsi – for 100V E4 systems

They can be used to display an E4 front panel when your PC is not connected to a system hardware device.

To open the sample design file:

1.Click the Open file tool in the Installer software window.

2.Select the name of the sample design file in your Installer software directory: C:\Program Files\FreeSpace Installer 2.0.

3.Click the Open button in the dialog box.

4.Click on the “Bose FreeSpace E4” system name in the Sys- tem Overview pane. The E4 front panel will appear in the application window.

Programmer’s Note: If you are not connected to the E4 unit when you open a design file, all controls within the software are grayed out and not accessible.
