Upgrade the firmware for your DATAQ device
If you are using an ISA-bus based or parallel port-based device:
2) Unzip the file
3) Select the right one for your device/application
4) Save a copy of the old DSP file in your WinDaq directory. e.g. Rename DI-400.BNM to DI-400.BN_
5) Copy the new DSP file to the WinDaq directory and replace the one for the device. e.g. Replace DI-400.BNM with DI-400SH.BNM
If you are using an USB-based option and you need to upgrade the firmware on the device, connect the device to the PC via parallel port (you need a PC with PS/2 or bidirectional printer port to do it):
1) Download the FlashRom Upgrade Program
2) Unzip the files under a temporary directory. e.g. C:\TEST
If you are using a Win3.1/95/98 PC to upgrade the firmware, you may
3) Goto MS-DOS prompt
4) Goto the directory C:\TEST and run: FLASH2 <lpt>.
If you are using a WinNT/ME/2000 PC to upgrade the firmware, you may
3) Install WinDaq/parallel port software and confirm the DI-720 works fine under parallel port mode
4) Goto MS-DOS prompt
5) Goto the directory C:\TEST and run: FLASH2NT <lpt>.
When you are done updating the firmware, you may need to upgrade to the latest WinDaq/USB
If you want to change the USB Device ID (All USB devices has the default of Device 0 when you receive it) of your DI-720/730/USB, connect the device to the PC via parallel port (you need a Win3.1/95/98 PC with PS/2 or bidirectional printer port to do it):
1) Download the SetUSBID Program to a temporary directory. e.g. C:\TEST
2) Goto MS-DOS prompt
3) Goto the directory and run: SETUSBID <lpt>.
If you are using an Ethernet-based (EN) option shipped before November, 2001* , connect the device to the PC via parallel port (you need a Win3.1/95/98 PC with PS/2 or bidirectional printer port to do it):
1) Download the FlashRom Upgrade Program
2) Unzip the files under a temporary directory. e.g. C:\TEST
3) Goto MS-DOS prompt
4) Goto the directory and run: FLASHE <lpt>
* Check the label at the bottom of the device to confirm it is not ENA version, which does not require any firmware upgrade.
