SOFTWARE UPDATES
Overview
You can update the operational software in the PI54 Operator
Unit your self by following the procedures provided. There are
two different programs that must be updated independently:
• DPS (Digital Signal Processor)
• MMI (Man-Machine Interface)
The software can be distributed on CDs, by e-mail or by
downloading the files from Simrad’s website.
In order to perform the software updates, you will need a
personal computer with a serial line connector, and a special
upload cable.
Note: Even though the software update procedures are uncomplicated,
Simrad cannot be held responsible for errors or malfunctions
that may occur after a software update, if the update has not
been performed according to the procedures, or as a result of
technical problems during the upload process.
