4.6 DG Updater
DG Update is an application that is installed with your VSI drivers. It will run (by
default) once every 30 days, and will keep you up-to-date with the latest versions
of drivers for all your DPA, DG Diagnostics, and VSI-2534 products. With this
application running regularly and Automatic Firmware Update (see DPA user
manual) turned on, this will keep your DPAs up-to-date with drivers and firmware.

The utility will run once every 30 days as a user logs on. This value is

Windows Start Menu:
