5.4 Upgrading Module Firmware

All NetScannerSystem Intelligent Pressure Scanner modules contain electronically re- programmable memory devices that store the module firmware. Pressure Systems will provide new releases of module firmware for enhanced instrument performance whenever updates or modifications are made. All scanner modules may have their firmware downloaded via their Ethernet Host Port. This allows for firmware upgrade while the module is installed in its normal communications network environment. Any new firmware releases may be obtained free of charge by downloading from PSI’s internet home page at www.PressureSystems.com. Download links can be found on the home page and in the information page for each model (e.g., Model 9016, Model 9022, etc.). All firmware is stored as a self-extracting .ZIP file. Once downloaded from the internet, simply execute the download file to extract the archived file(s).

5.2.1 Upgrading Firmware Via Host TCP/IP Port

New firmware for your NetScannerSystem Intelligent Pressure Scanners, may be upgraded by the host computer, or any computer on the TCP/IP network, directly via the module’s Host Port. The PSI application called NetScannerUnified Startup Software (NUSS), is provided for this purpose. It is recommended that NUSS (and any new firmware update file) be installed to a suitable subdirectory of your hard disk for better performance. Installation instructions for this support software are provided with the application. Ensure that the TCP/IP communications is properly configured for the PC running the application.

NUSS is provided to all customers who have purchased NetScannerSystem Intelligent Pressure Scanners. This application has its own User’s Manual and both may be downloaded from PSI’s Web site, www.PressureSystems.com.

WARNING: While updating module firmware, DO NOT power-cycle your scanner, or your PC. If the firmware update procedure is interrupted by any of these practices, the module may be left in a “permanent” inoperable state with no operable firmware to reboot it. The ONLY acceptable way to interrupt the firmware update process is to select “Abort Download” before the memory begins to be overwritten. In the event of such failure, module operation can only be restored by unplugging the “bad” memory chip and installing a “good” memory chip containing a valid working firmware

After NUSS has finished downloading the new firmware, wait approximately 30 seconds for your NetScannerSystem module to reset before closing NUSS, else the newly installed firmware may be unreliable.
