6.2 MPC Firmware Upgrades & Updates

The MPC includes two distinct processors in its enclosure:

• a GPS receiver (Euro4 GPSCard)

• an embedded PC running embedded NT

Both of these compo nents h as its own microp rocessor, and each microp roces sor h as its o wn firm ware

(program software), which is stored in non-v ol atile memory. What makes one MPC model different

from another is software, not hardware. This uniq ue featu re means that upgrading the firmware is

equivalent to getting an MPC with an entirely different set of features.

The following can be upgraded/updated on the MPC:

• the PC software that controls the VFD display, data storage, communication, web pages

and more on your MPC

• OEM4 firmware on the Euro4 GPSCard

For upgrades/updates to the Euro4 firmware and/or PC software, you will need to supply NovAtel

Customer Service with the fixed IP ad dress of y our installed MPC so that we can program it remotely.
