8.1 Upgrading firmware using the USB port

About this chapter

This chapter provides a detailed procedure for upgrading Event Master series processor software (firmware).

The Event Master series processor provides an option for upgrading firmware using the USB port on the front panel.

Note: Another solution is available to upgrade the Event Master series processor with the built-in web interface. For details on the upgrade procedure via the Setting Menu in the Event Master Toolset Software (EM GUI), please refer to chapter “Settings Menu > Web App area > Tools > Manage Software”

Note: In the event the Event Master series processor gets into a state in which it constantly reboots after a software upgrade, press and hold the SEL and ESC keys simultaneously until the front panel shows the choice of performing a factory reset or continuing. Performing a factory reset will allow the Event Master series processor to boot normally.
