4 GETTING STARTED
4.1 ENSURING YOUR GAUGE HAS THE LATEST FIRMWARE &
UPGRADING YOUR GAUGE
To ensure that your gauge has the most up-to-date gauge firmware,
allowing you to benefit from the latest features and functionality, we
recommend that the gauge is connected to ElcoMaster on a regular
basis and before first use.
Simply connect the gauge via USB to an internet connected computer
running ElcoMaster using the ‘Connect Gauge’ feature. If a later
version of the gauge firmware is available, ‘Update Gauge’ will be
displayed to the right of the gauge details. Click ‘Update Gauge’ to
install the latest firmware.
#
The icon displayed depends on the measurement mode selected. If ‘Immediate’ mode is selected, no
icon is displayed. See Section 4.4 ‘Selecting the Measurement Mode’ on page en-4 for further
information.
