Upload

Selecting Upload will upload the bundled rmware to the sensor, thereby eliminating any

compatibility problems. e amount of time it takes to complete the upload depends pri-

marily on your connection speed, but usually varies from 1 to 10 minutes.

During the upload process, you can cancel at any time. However, if the FPGA rmware was

incompatible and the new version was not fully loaded before you clicked Cancel, the sen-

sor will revert back to a factory-installed version of the FPGA rmware upon reboot of the

sensor. e factory-installed version of the FPGA rmware may not be the same as the last

version you were running on the sensor. In this case, you will need to re-upload the version

of FPGA rmware you’d like to have on the sensor (see chapter 8 for information on how

to do this). is does not occur when you cancel an upload of DSP rmware.

If the upload completes successfully, the sensor will need to reboot and restart before the

new rmware will take eect. e restart should take about 15 seconds.

Exit SmartSensor Manager

If you are unsure what to do, you should click the Exit SmartSensor Manager button.

When you have decided what to do, you can reconnect to the sensor.

In some cases, you may have simply connected to the sensor with the wrong version of

SmartSensor Manager. Click the Exit SmartSensor Manager button to close your current

connection and quit the program. Once you have quit this version of SmartSensor Man-

ager, you can then connect up with the version you originally intended.

Continue w/o upload

If you are determined to continue using this version of SmartSensor Manager to interact

with the sensor, but have good reason not to upload the bundled rmware, you can click

the Continue w/o Upload button. With this choice, SmartSensor Manager nishes estab-

lishing the connection and continues normal execution. However, depending on the nature

of incompatibilities between the sensor’s rmware and SmartSensor Manager, unexpected

errors may result.
