Software update
. The menu item allows you to update software in the fixture via either serial or
USB port of PC.
The following are required in order to update software:
- PC running Windows /XP/7/10 or Linux
- Update software
- Flash cable RS232/DMX No.13050624 (if you want to use a serial port of PC)
- Robe Universal Interface (if you want to use an USB port of PC)
Note 1: Software update should execute a qualified person. If you lack qualification, do not attempt the update
yourself and ask for help your ROBE distributor.
Note 2: DMX address, , programs 1-3 and all items in the menu "Pers" will be set to their default (factory) values
after software update.
To update software in the fixture:
I. Installation of the update software.
1. Update Software available from the ROBE web site at WWW.robe.cz.
2. Make a new directory ( e.g. Robe_Uploader) on your hard disk and download the software to it.
3. Unpack the program to the directory.
II.Fixture software updating.
1.Determine which of your ports is available on your PC and connect it:
- with the DMX input of the fixture if you using the flash cable RS232/DMX
- with the USB input of the Robe Universal Interface if you using the USB cable. Connect DMX
output of the Robe Universal Interface with the fixture via a standard DMX cabel.
Turn both the computer and the fixture on. Make sure the lamp is switched off (only if the fixture
has a lamp).
2. Switch the fixture to the updating mode (Special -> "SW Upd "-> On).
Note: If you do not want to continue in software update, you have to switch off and on the fixture
to escape from this menu.
We recommend to cancel all running programs on PC before starting the software update.
3. Run the Software Uploader. Select desired COM and then click on the Connect button.
(Select COM if the serial port is used or Robe Universal Interface if the USB port is used).
If the connection is OK, click on the “Start Uploading button“ to start uploading. It will take several
minutes to perform software update.
If the option "Incremental Update" is not checked, all processors will be updated (including
processors with the same software version).
If you wish to update only later versions of processors, check the “Incremental Update box“.
Avoid interrupting the process. Update status is being displayed in the Info Box window.
