4.6 Upgrade from Apollo 1.4 to Apollo 1.4SR1
Upgrading from Apollo 1.4 to Apollo 1.4.1 does not require converting the database. However, the update of the
configuration files (see above, generating current configuration files) is mandatory.
Starting with Apollo 1.4SR1 the file SerialCommandInterface.ini is split into a file
specifying the parameters of the serial interface (SerialCommandInterfaceBasic.ini) and
a file allocating the patterns (SerialCommandInterface.ini). When upgrading projects
made with former releases of Apollo, the then SerialCommandInterface.ini file remains
unchanged, and the entries referring to the COM Port and the baud rate have to be
deleted manually! In addition, the Visio drawing has to be updated: the shape "Serial
Command interface" has to be replaced by the shape "Command Source"!
4.7 Upgrading from Apollo 1.4 to Apollo 1.5
An Apollo project which has been created with Apollo 1.4x is automatically upgraded to Apollo 1.5. No interven-
tion is required.
If the project is selected in the Apollo Settings dialog, the version of the project is validated. In case it is later
than 1.4x, the following message pops up:
Select Backup to make a copy of the old project.
Only projects created with Apollo 1.4x are updated automatically. All other projects have
to be upgraded as described in chapter Upgrade from Apollo 1.3 to Apollo 1.4.
Please note, that if the Apollo project includes the Phoenix projector, it also has to be upgraded manually.
