Logicube Omniclone Xi ™ Software Updating Procedures

New and improved software will appear from time to time on our web site at www.logicube.com. It is possible to update the operating software in the field by a user.

Two common ways are available:

1.Using the Compact Flash card

2.Using a parallel port connection

NOTE: Logicube provides a floppy disk that contains a backup copy of the Logicube Omniclone Xi™ software. This software is already loaded on your unit.

Loading Software Using the Compact Flash

The new software (a single file always called ocx.h86) has to be placed on the root directory of the Compact Flash (CF). If a CF reader/writer is available on your computer, ocx.h86 simply needs to be copied to the root directory, possibly overwriting the older version that’s already there.

Another file called ocxcfldr.h86 also needs to be on the root directory of the Compact Flash Card.

NOTE: If a reader is not present, the Logicube Omniclone Xi™ itself, in conjunction with the USB dongle can be configured to behave like a CF reader/writer. Please refer to “Connecting Through the Software Setup Menu” in Chapter 7: Compact Flash (CF) Drive.

Once the new ocx.h86 file is present on the CF, it is a simple matter to make it “re-flash” the unit:

1.Remove the Master Drive from the unit if it is connected.
