Thermo Fisher 49i-PS Analyzer Firmware 02.02.01 Description

Version 02.02.01 changes relative to version 02.00.04:

1. Fix sample mode digital output so it’s not active during purge mode.
2. Fix LEADS protocol “.11” command to output O3 concentration in both locations, and “.22” command to respond with “INVALID COMMAND” on an attempt to start a program if one is already running.
3. Fix lrec and srec CLINK commands to respond with only line feed character after each record and carriage return and line feed after the last record to correct response processing in iPort’s terminal window.
4. Fix version string in cramfs image used by iPort during a firmware update so iPort will report the file’s version correctly.
5. Fix softkey assignment screen to always show SAVING message for three seconds after the enter key is pressed.
6. Add support for new processor board revision 1.5T.

UPGRADE FIRMWARE

Below is a procedure for loading the firmware into FLASH memory. The firmware update file transfer process should take about 30 minutes at 57,600 baud. It is assumed that iPort is already talking to the instrument and the instrument window is currently open.

NOTE: DO NOT TURN OFF THE INSTRUMENT AT ANY TIME DURING THIS UPDATE If the instrument is turned off while burning the new image to the FLASH, it may require replacement of the CPU board, motherboard, I/O expansion board, and/or measurement interface board. To reduce this risk, make sure the instrument is running on clean and stable power before performing this update.

1. Close all instrument windows.
2. From the iPort menu, select Instrument > Update Firmware. Select TCP/IP or Serial, depending on the connection.
3. In the Update Instrument Firmware Program dialog box, enter the instrument ID (if using serial port) or the TCP/IP address (if using TCP/IP).
4. In the Open File dialog box, select the firmware update file, then click the Open button.
5. File transfer progress can be monitored by looking at the transferred blocks in the lower left corner of the iPort window as well as on the instrument's display.
6. Once the file transfer is complete, the instrument will automatically reboot. There may be some error messages regarding configuration and calibration files that are displayed, this is normal after a firmware update. At this time, the bootloader and application code in each of the low-level processors will be updated to the latest version.
7. To verify all updates were successful, go to the ALARMS menu and make sure the board status alarms at the bottom of the menu all show “OK”. If any board status alarms show “FAIL”, try rebooting the instrument and checking the ALARMS menu again. If they still show “FAIL”, contact technical service.

About Device Firmware:

Applying a newer firmware version than the one already installed on your unit can bring various enhancements, include workarounds for diverse problems encountered by the device, and improve or add newly developed features.

On the other hand, downgrading the firmware version can recover the device’s functionality in the event of a software update either turning up faulty or causing the unit’s overall performance to drop. However, bear in mind that applying an older firmware isn’t recommended and might not always be possible.

When it comes to the update steps, due to the large variety of devices and numerous ways for installing a new firmware, it is recommended that you carefully read and understand the upgrade steps, and consider applying a different firmware only when you have familiarized yourself with the update method.

As the installation process is most of the times quite risky, this step should be taken by users that have the ability to successfully complete the update; regular users may initiate it at their own risk. Moreover, it’s best that this task be performed in a steady power environment such as the one ensured by a UPS unit.

Therefore, if you consider applying this release, hit the download button, take into account all the aforementioned aspects, and update the device’s firmware. Also make sure you constantly check with our website to ensure that you don’t miss a single new release. 

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
