Updating Firmware

Upgrading Q330 firmware is done with the program Willard.

 

Setup: Download the required firmware from http://q330.com/ Place the firmware into a folder with the name of the firmware (in this example the folder name would be "1.80"). Note: This is important because all Q330 firmware files are named identically. To keep them separated, they must be stored in separate folders.

 

Willard:

Power up the Q330 and connect it to computer via console cable.

Start Willard and select console registration.

 

Select "No" if asked to create a dataless station.

 

 

The following is the procedure to upgrade the firmware of a RT130. The upgrade is applied to the RT130 from a firmware file which is copied to CF card and inserted to the RT130 before it is powered on.   NOTE: For EPIC RT130 dataloggers, please contact us before changing the firmware, we may not support all versions.  Thank you.   2013-04-02: We are updating to RT130 firmware version 3.4.3.  This update will not be made in the field as it includes reprogramming chips from several boards.  Please contact us for further information.
