Firmware Upgrades

The VisionAV cards allow firmware upgrade to be completed on site rather than returning the card to

Datapath. Whenever a firmware upgrade is performed, the J11 Link MUST BE FITTED on the VisionAV.

To perform the upgrade, follow the step-by-step instructions provided by the upgrade application.

In the unlikely event that something goes wrong during the upgrade process (e.g. System power outage)

it is possible to revert to the factory settings by powering down the system, temporarily removing the J11

link then powering up the system with the link removed. Once the system has rebooted, replace the J11

link link (whilst the system is powered up) and restart the firmware upgrade process.

It should be noted that the latest driver installation program includes an automatic firmware update, if

required. Therefore, prior to installing the application and driver, ensure that J11 link is fitted.

The Vision software (driver and application) is installed by inserting the CD that was shipped with your

card into your CD ROM drive. The installation process should start automatically.

Should the CD fail to autorun use Explorer to browse the CD, locate then double click on install.exe

file e.g. d:/install.exe and click on Install Software... and follow the installation wizard instructions as

prompted.
