Update Monitor Software
The Update Monitor tab displays installed (Installed Ver) and available (Update Ver)
versions for the Monitor Boot, Main, and NIBP module software. If the monitor has an
optional SpO
2
or temperature module, the firmware versions are displayed. Update status
is shown for each, indicating whether an update is available for those versions that can be
updated.
If the version installed on the monitor is newer than what the utility supports, the status
displays “Not supported”. Contact Welch Allyn Technical Service to obtain an updated
version of this utility.
The status also indicates whether the installed software and firmware versions are
compatible with the update versions offered. The program checks for compatibility within
the module as well as compatibility between modules. If any of the software or firmware
is incompatible with the available updates the update button will not be active.
The SpO
2
and temperature module firmware can only be updated by replacing the
hardware modules. If the NIBP, SpO
2
or temperature module has been replaced with a
different version, the installed version for the new module is shown in orange.
The monitor hardware module field Installed Ver reports the mainboard hardware version.
The hardware version is included to prepare for the eventual possibility that incompatible
versions might someday be introduced. All VSM mainboards have HW code 0. No
incompatibilities currently exist between versions of the board.
