Firmware Reprogramming
Mini-AT firmware (instrument operating program) is stored in flash memory. Adding new features and
capabilities to the instrument is simply a matter of uploading a file containing a newer version of firmware
through the serial port connection. There are no EPROM chips to be removed or plugged into sockets.
Flash Access Security is provided by the use of a jumper selection at JB24 pins 5 and 6. To upgrade flash
memory, use the software application Firmware Manager.
