TC-32 1.08 Measure Firmware Update Measurement Computing Corporation 1. Description 2. Updating firmware using InstaCal 3. Support ================================================ 1. Description ================================================ Firmware version 1.08 (Measure) NOTE: When updating this firmware, you should make sure the Main firmware is also updated to the latest version. Also, when updating a TC-32-EXP, make sure the TC-32 base device has the latest firmware installed. This firmware update resolves an issue in which performing field calibration on the TC-32 or TC-32-EXP returns an error. This firmware update also resolves an issue where, if open thermocouple detection is enabled and a channel is open, there is a possibility that temperature readings on one or several follow-on channels will have an approximate offset of +1 deg C. This firmware lowers the maximum per-channel measurement update rate to 2 Hz if OTD is enabled. If a 3 Hz per-channel measurement update rate is still desired, you will need to disable OTD. ================================================ 2. Updating firmware using InstaCal ================================================ Note: Make sure you have the latest version of InstaCal installed. The current version is available for download at https://www.mccdaq.com/Software-Downloads. If you are running the latest InstaCal and experience an issue with the update, contact tech support. See Section 3. Determine installed firmware version: To determine the firmware versions currently installed on the TC-32, run the InstaCal utility provided with the MCC DAQ software. Double-click the device to open the Board Configuration dialog. The currently installed firmware versions display on the dialog. If the measure firmware (TC-32_Measure.hex) firware currently installed is version 1.08, you do not need to download this firmware. Firmware update procedure: 1. Download the Measurement firmware (TC-32_Measure.hex) and copy it to the FirmwareImages subdirectory of the DAQ installation directory ("Program Files\Measurement Computing\DAQ\FirmwareImages" by default). 2. Connect the TC-32 to your computer. 3. Run InstaCal and click the Download Firmware toolbar icon to open the Firmware Loader dialog. 4. Select Update-Measurement (Base) if updating a TC-32. 5. Select Update-Measurement (Exp) if updating a TC-32-EXP. 6. Click the Load Firmware button to start installing the firmware. After each firmware file is installed, the Status field displays "Firmware update completed", and the Device firmware version field displays the firmware version installed on the device. Click the X in the upper right corner to exit. ================================================ 3.
