Chapter 9 Update Operations
The internal programming of the MaxiSys Diagnostic System, known as the firmware,
can be updated using the Update application. Firmware updates increase the MaxiSys
applications’ capabilities, typically by adding new tests, new models, or enhanced
applications to the database.
The display device automatically searches for available updates for all of the Maxisys
components when it is connected to the internet. Any updates that are found can be
downloaded and installed on the device. This section describes installing an update to
the MaxiSys Diagnostic System firmware. A notification message displays if an update
is available when the Push Message function is enabled in the Settings application
(See 7.1.4 Push Message on page 71 for details).
