8.3 Firmware upgrade
This chapter shows how to upgrade the firmware of your Sirius® measurement system. Note: the firmware upgrade
procedure should only be executed by experienced personnel and only when explicitly told so, by the Dewesoft support
team.
IMPORTANT
Make sure, that the communication to the Sirius® and the power supply are not interrupted
during the firmware upgrade procedure. Otherwise the system may become broken and you
must send it back for repair.
The Firmware upgrade process includes 2 steps:
1. Update of the System Firmware: this is the firmware of the Sirius® slice. It is responsible to read the
measurement data from the modules and transfer the data via USB to DEWESoft®
2. Update of the Module Firmware: each Sirius® slice may have up to 8 modules. Different module-types
(e.g. ACC, STG, HV, ..) require different firmware
IMPORTANT
When you use multiple Sirius® systems for one measurement (i.e. connected via
synchronisation cables), make sure, that all systems have the same firmware installed.
