3.7 Firmware Update
The MWS 55 allows updating the firmware via the serial port.
Start the tool "MWS_WUpda.exe" to perform.
(On the WeatherCD under SOFTWARE/MWS_WUpda)
In this folder also the current firmware version is stored.
You can download the current firmware
Updating the firmware is quite the same as transferring calibration files decribed above.
Updating the firmware takes app. 2 minutes at 115200 baud, app. 25 minutes at 9600 baud.
CAUTION: Errors while updating the firmware will lead to complete malfunction of
the weather station!!
Following procedures are required for updating the firmware depending on the cur-
rent version:
- from V3.0200 and older
- first of all save the station's configuration!
- This is performed with the command *ADMIN SAVE CONFIG within a termianl
program.
- Then execute a update with "Defines". (MWS_DEFV3_0230.hex)
- After updating with Defines the previously saved configuration needs to be
recovered !
This is performed with the command *ADMIN LOAD CONFIG . This takes app. 20
minutes.
- Now a Bootloader-update must be performed! (MWS_BOOTV3_0230.hex)
- At last send following commands to the station (Appendix command):
!XW0007c9e0,504b39bb06c1507e22aa37b60000000000
!ER10,0 CLEAR
These commands are contained in the file "MWS_APPENDIXV3_0230.hex".
Open this file with a text editor, copy the respective complete command and send
it to the station with a terminal program.
- from V3.0200 to V3.0220
- "normal" update (MWS_UPV3_0230.hex )
- then a Bootloader-update (MWS_BOOTV3_0230.hex)
- and at last also the Appendix commands from "MWS_APPENDIXV3_0230.hex".
- from versions 3.0221 and newer
- "normal" update (MWS_UPV3_0230.hex )
- and at last also the Appendix commands from "MWS_APPENDIXV3_0230.hex".
- from versions 3.0230 and newer
- "normal" update (MWS_UPV3_0232.hex )
- since version 3.0240 and newer
- only one update file (MWS_UPV3_0240.hex)
The necessary handling is performed by the program MWS_WUpda.exe (V1.0.0.5).
The following pictures show how to perform a firmware-update. (Pictures can deviate !!)
CAUTION!
During the update process the percentage display and the progress bar will pause a few times for
some seconds. Please do not cancel the update process for otherwise the firmware will be destroyed.
