Preparing your DELTA unit for FW Upgrade


Depending on what is included in the bin-file some preparation may be required. It is very important
that you have the correct units connected when you perform the FW upgrade.

• Most of the bin-files include FW for the HVU as well as the Control Unit. This means that
you need to connect the HVU unit to the Control Unit before you continue with the FW
Upgrade. If you are unsure what type of bin-file you have this is probable how you should
connect.
• If you know that the bin file is intended for the DELTA calibration box. Please connect the
Calibration box to your DELTA unit before you continue with the FW Upgrade.

COM/RS232 ports you have on your computer)
