12.2 ADDVANTAGE-32 TO ADDVANTAGE-32 PLUS CAL/CONFIG UPGRADE
In addition to upgrading the hardware of an ADDvantage-32 drive to convert it into an
ADDvantage-32 PLUS drive, the calibration and configuration files that had been saved
also require an upgrade before they can be used in the ADDvantage-32 PLUS.
A software program, ConvertToAdd32PLUS (Avtron part number 686149), performs the
upgrade, processing the ADDvantage-32 calibration and configuration file into the format
required for the ADDvantage-32 PLUS. The software program ensures that all
calibration and configuration data saved in the ADDvantage-32 file is fully compatible
with and functions exactly like the ADDvantage-32 PLUS. If the program detects an
incompatibility, then the file upgrade will not be performed and the user will be notified
of the compatibility issue.
NOTE
The ConvertToAdd32PLUS software utility program may be used on a computer with the
Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP or Windows NT operating systems.
