Update Firmware

The C-more panel firmware progams the hardware so the panel communicates all the functions available through the PC software. C-moreprogramming software updates/upgrades include a necessary firmware update. When you install/upgrade the software, also upgrade the firmware on the panel to match the software.

Note: When firmware updates, the project files currently loaded in the panel are erased. Save the project so you can reload it to the panel. Refer to the Read From Panel: USB and Ethernet topic.
