XP software upgrades

upg aggiornamento USB

The XP line modules can be easily updated thanks to the USB socket with which they are equipped. The files to update the XP models are available for free in our 'Download Area' (only one registration is needed the first time you log in).
 

 

PRELIMINARY: Know the software level currently in use
  • Before updating an XP module it is necessary to know which software level is currently in use, and then look for a possible update of the higher version to be loaded in the download area.
  • To do this, access the 'INFO SETUP' screen which can be reached from the main page using the key sequence: tasto A>tasto A>tasto A and note the 'Software level' value.
    (from here on we will take for example the update for the XP66 module, the procedure is the same for all XP modules)

FIRST STEP: Download the file for the update and prepare it on USB support

  • Insert a USB memory into your PC (if possible use a USB memory of contained capacity and possibly empty, or anyway with a few saved files).
