Appendix D: Updates to the LabPro Operating System

Since LabPro has Flash memory, you can update your interface with the most recent operating

system, also called firmware. There are two methods of updating the Flash on your interface. You

can use either the LabPro serial or USB cable or a

TI-GRAPH LINK™ cable to upgrade the

operating system. In either case, the files you need and the instructions for the update can be

downloaded from the Vernier web site (www.vernier.com/calc/flash.html).

Please note that if you connect a LabPro with an outdated operating system to a computer and

start Logger Pro 3, the program will display a message stating that the operating system needs to

be updated. You will need to perform the update. Since the update can take several minutes, it is

recommended that you use the LabPro USB cable to perform the update. If you select Cancel

Update, Logger Pro 3 will not be able to communicate with your LabPro.

If you are not prompted to update your LabPro, but the Update LabPro button from the LabPro

sensor dialog is highlighted, it means there is a newer operating system available. You can

continue to use LabPro without a problem if you choose to skip this update.

Note: The operating system update is much faster with a USB connection than with a serial

connection.
