Thefirmware version in the SuperView can be field updated via the RS-232
serialport. The firmware is like the operating system in your computer—it
instructs the SuperViewin all of its operations.

baud rate;
2.Current firmware update file andupdate instructions

Don otproceed to update firmware without these two items!
Ifa firmware update has been published, the file can be downloaded from the
RGB Spectrumwebsite at http://www.rgb.com,in the Support section. The
firmware would also be available on disk directly from RGB Spectrum.
Instructionsand release notes accompanythe update file.
Note:The update firmware process cannot be used from within the SuperView
VCP control software. You must use a terminal emulation program—s uch as
HyperTerminalor Procomm—or a dumb terminal capable of communicating at
115,200bps.
Afterthe firmware update procedure is complete, the system is restored to
factory defaults. The baudrate is set to 9600 bps and all data previously stored
tot heEEPROM iserased.
