CAUTION Do not reset, power-cycle, or reboot the probe immediately after the download process. Doing this may cause your probe to be damaged. After the firmware file has been downloaded to the probe, there will be a brief period (approximately 1 minute) while the probe is copying the firmware to the flash EPROM.
