How to Update the Embedded Software of CT Analyzer

If you do the software update with the CT Analyzer PC Toolset software 1) Download the .zip archive "CT AnalyzerVx.xx.zip" that contains the software and language files from the OMICRON website and extract it on your PC. 2) Insert a Compact Flash (CF) card in the according slot on the CT Analyzer 3) Start the CTA Start Page by selecting Programs | OMICRON | CT Analyzer | CTA Start Page Click FIRMWARE UPDATE and choose a firmware file (CTAnalyzer.bin) to update the CT Analyzer embedded software If you do the software update on the stand alone CT Analyzer 1) Download the .zip archive "CT AnalyzerVx.xx.zip" that contains the software and language files. 2) Remove the Compact Flash (CF) card from the CT Analyzer and insert it into the Flash Card reader. Verify that there is a directory named "OMICRON" at the top level of the Flash Card (e.g., A:\OMICRON\). If there is no such directory, create it. Since the CT Analyzer only searches for new software in a directory named OMICRON, this step is essential. If you find a directory OMICRON on the CF card, delete all existing files in it with the extension .bin

3) Open the downloaded .zip archive and extract all of its files (among them a file named "CTAnalyzer.bin") to the directory "OMICRON" on the CF card. If the directory already contains one or more of these files, overwrite them. 4) Re-insert the Compact Flash card into the CT Analyzer. 5) Press "Main" to change to the Main Menu.

6) In the Main Menu, select "Tools" -> "Update Firmware"

7) Select the CTAnalyzer.bin file and press enter or "Update Firmw."

8) Wait until the CT Analyzer reports that the update was finished successfully. 9) Now update user interface language (refer to "How to Update the User Interface Language for CT Analyzer")

If the device reports "Could not update firmware!", the file "CTAnalyzer.bin" was not found in the "OMICRON" directory on the Flash Card. Verify that the Flash Card directory was named correctly to "OMICRON" and that it contains the file "CTAnalyzer.bin".

How to Update the User Interface Language for CT Analyzer

Note: the steps 1 and 2 are identical to the first two steps of "How to update the embedded software for CT Analyzer" above. Since the updates can be carried out individually, these two steps are listed here for completeness reasons. If you already carried out the update of the embedded software, skip steps 1 and 2 here.

If you do the software update with the CT Analyzer PC Toolset software 1) Download the .zip archive "CT AnalyzerVx.xx.zip" that contains the software and language files from the OMICRON website and extract it on your PC. 2) Insert a Compact Flash (CF) card in the according slot on the CT Analyzer 3) Start the CTA Start Page by selecting Programs | OMICRON | CT Analyzer | CTA Start Page Click FIRMWARE UPDATE and choose a user language file (CTUser_xxx.bin) to update the CT Analyzer user interface language If you do the software update on the stand alone CT Analyzer 1) Download the .zip archive "CT AnalyzerVx.xx.zip" that contains the software and language files. 2) Remove the Compact Flash (CF) card from the CT Analyzer and insert it into the Flash Card reader. Verify that there is a directory named "OMICRON" at the top level of the Flash Card (e.g., A:\OMICRON\). If there is no such directory, create it. Since the CT Analyzer only searches for new software in a directory named OMICRON, this step is essential. If you find a directory OMICRON on the CF card, delete all existing files in it with the extension .bin 3) Open the downloaded .zip archive and extract the preferred language file(s) "CTUser_xxx.bin" to the directory "OMICRON" on the CF card. If the directory already contains one or more of these files, overwrite them. The "xxx" at CTUser_xxx.bin symbolizes a language-dependant placeholder. The languages are specified as follows: ENU = English, DEU = German, ESP = Spanish, FRA = French; POL = Polish. Please note: it is not required to install the language file for English. The English language is the standard language of the software and included in "CTAnalyzer.bin", which is installed separately. 4) Re-insert the Compact Flash card into the CT Analyzer. 5) Press "Main" to change to the Main Menu.

6) In the Main Menu, press "Tools" -> "Update Text"

7) Select the language file of your choice and press "Update Text".

8) Wait until the CT Analyzer switches to the selected language

Note: It is possible to do a CT Analyzer software update together with a CT Analyzer language update when using the CT Analyzer PC Toolset software. When doing a firmware update you can select both a firmware and a language file to update the CT Analyzer software and user interface language at once. Note: Files can be transferred to the Compact Flash (CF) card in the CT Analyzer directly without removing the CF card from the CT Analyzer. Therefore you can use the OMICRON Device Browser to copy the needed files from your PC to the CT Analyzer (and vice versa). The OMICRON Device Browser can be started in the CT Analyzer Start Page. Start the CTA Start Page by selecting Programs | OMICRON | CT Analyzer | CTA Start Page Click OMICRON Device Browser A Windows Explorer window opens and the CT Analyzer is shown below the folder OMICRON Devices. You can transfer the files to the OMICRON folder on the CT Analyzer directly. The CT Analyzer must be connected to your PC.
