1
00:00:07,213 --> 00:00:09,625
This video will demonstrate
how to upgrade

2
00:00:09,626 --> 00:00:11,875
your EPOCH 1000’s instrument firmware

3
00:00:11,876 --> 00:00:13,955
using a Windows 7 computer.

4
00:00:13,956 --> 00:00:15,848
To perform this upgrade,
you will also need

5
00:00:15,850 --> 00:00:19,981
a USB client/host cable,
such as a USB printer cable

6
00:00:19,983 --> 00:00:23,240
First, you’ll need to download
the software upgrade package

7
00:00:23,241 --> 00:00:30,595
to your PC from the Olympus website,
www.olympus-ims.com.

8
00:00:30,596 --> 00:00:34,686
From the Support section,
select Software Downloads.

9
00:00:34,688 --> 00:00:36,606
Click on EPOCH Series,

10
00:00:36,608 --> 00:00:40,030
and then select the EPOCH 1000
Field Upgrade Utility.

11
00:00:40,031 --> 00:00:42,985
In the pop-up window,
click “latest version”

12
00:00:42,986 --> 00:00:44,848
to begin the download.

13
00:00:44,850 --> 00:00:47,683
If you don’t already have
a login ID and password,

14
00:00:47,685 --> 00:00:50,543
you’ll need to create one here.

15
00:00:50,545 --> 00:00:54,486
Once the download is complete,
right click on the downloaded zip file

16
00:00:54,488 --> 00:00:57,068
and select “Extract All”.

17
00:00:57,070 --> 00:00:59,628
Choose a location to save
the extracted files,

18
00:00:59,630 --> 00:01:07,968
like the desktop, and press Extract.

19
00:01:07,970 --> 00:01:10,943
The upgrade package contains
an executable file

20
00:01:10,945 --> 00:01:14,088
for installation of the upgrade
utility program,

21
00:01:14,090 --> 00:01:17,573
and two files used for the
software upgrade.

22
00:01:17,575 --> 00:01:21,306
Because the files have a
“.bin” extension,

23
00:01:21,308 --> 00:01:25,598
we will refer to these
files as BIN files.

24
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,336
Windows 7 behaves differently than
previous versions of Windows

25
00:01:29,338 --> 00:01:31,566
when installing this software.

26
00:01:31,568 --> 00:01:34,560
During installation, when prompted
with this dialog box

27
00:01:34,561 --> 00:01:36,291
from Windows Security,

28
00:01:36,293 --> 00:01:40,483
it is REQUIRED that you click on
“install this driver software anyway”

29
00:01:40,485 --> 00:01:43,753
in order for Windows to properly
complete the installation.

30
00:01:43,755 --> 00:01:47,908
You may also need to select “Yes”
in other dialog boxes

31
00:01:47,910 --> 00:01:51,700
to allow Windows to make changes
to your PC when installing.

32
00:01:51,701 --> 00:01:55,431
Please also note that you will be
required to restart your computer

33
00:01:55,433 --> 00:01:57,905
during this installation process.

34
00:01:57,906 --> 00:01:59,771
To install the upgrade utility,

35
00:01:59,773 --> 00:02:05,345
double click on the EPOCH XT-1000
Upgrade Utility executable file.

36
00:02:05,346 --> 00:02:07,621
Click Yes to the prompt.

37
00:02:07,623 --> 00:02:10,568
You will also need to install
Windows Mobile Device center

38
00:02:10,570 --> 00:02:12,760
to connect to the EPOCH 1000.

39
00:02:12,761 --> 00:02:15,455
Select option 3 “Install All"

40
00:02:15,456 --> 00:02:19,606
from the Installation menu and
f ollow the on-screen instructions.

41
00:02:19,608 --> 00:02:21,491
During the program installation,

42
00:02:21,493 --> 00:02:23,678
you’ll typically see a
message box stating

43
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,745
that a reboot of the
computer is required.

44
00:02:26,746 --> 00:02:29,990
You should allow the remainder of
the installation process to complete,

45
00:02:29,991 --> 00:02:32,430
including Windows Mobile
Device Center,

46
00:02:32,431 --> 00:02:34,715
before you restart your computer.

47
00:02:34,716 --> 00:02:37,935
Be sure to choose “Install this
driver software anyway”

48
00:02:37,936 --> 00:02:45,191
each time you are prompted,
which may occur up to 3 times.

49
00:02:45,193 --> 00:02:47,333
Once the main program is installed,

50
00:02:47,335 --> 00:02:51,678
Windows Mobile Device Center will
automatically begin its installation.

51
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,593
During this installation,
you may see a message box

52
00:02:54,595 --> 00:02:58,491
stating that the device drivers
have not been successfully installed.

53
00:02:58,493 --> 00:03:00,518
You can ignore this message
at this time,

54
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,930
as the driver installation
won’t be completed

55
00:03:02,931 --> 00:03:10,011
until your instrument is
connected to the PC.

56
00:03:10,013 --> 00:03:13,021
Once the installation of
Mobile Device Center has completed,

57
00:03:13,023 --> 00:03:16,201
you must restart your PC.

58
00:03:16,203 --> 00:03:18,991
When your PC has
successfully restarted,

59
00:03:18,993 --> 00:03:23,368
click the Windows icon,
select “All Programs”,

60
00:03:23,370 --> 00:03:27,145
and open Windows Mobile Device Center
from your start menu.

61
00:03:27,146 --> 00:03:30,616
You will be prompted to accept
the end user license agreement

62
00:03:30,618 --> 00:03:33,073
before the program will continue.

63
00:03:33,075 --> 00:03:36,198
After accepting the
end user license agreement,

64
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:40,508
turn on the EPOCH 1000 and
allow it to completely boot up.

65
00:03:40,510 --> 00:03:43,925
Next, plug one end of the USB cable

66
00:03:43,926 --> 00:03:46,626
into the top port on the EPOCH 1000

67
00:03:46,628 --> 00:03:51,021
and the other end into a
USB port on your PC.

68
00:03:51,023 --> 00:03:54,470
Windows 7 will automatically
install the USB drivers

69
00:03:54,471 --> 00:03:57,193
and display a notification
when complete.

70
00:03:57,195 --> 00:03:59,216
Once the drivers are installed,

71
00:03:59,218 --> 00:04:01,611
Windows Mobile Device Center
will indicate

72
00:04:01,613 --> 00:04:05,271
that it has successfully connected
to a new device.

73
00:04:05,273 --> 00:04:07,468
The upgrade process requires loading

74
00:04:07,470 --> 00:04:11,223
each of the two BIN files
onto the EPOCH 1000.

75
00:04:11,225 --> 00:04:14,625
Please keep in mind that older
versions of the EPOCH 1000

76
00:04:14,626 --> 00:04:18,505
may respond differently to the
installation of these BIN files.

77
00:04:18,506 --> 00:04:21,488
If you receive an error during
the upgrade process,

78
00:04:21,490 --> 00:04:24,740
please contact our
sales engineering team.

79
00:04:24,741 --> 00:04:27,805
To begin the upgrade,
turn off your EPOCH 1000

80
00:04:27,806 --> 00:04:31,151
and plug it into AC power.

81
00:04:31,153 --> 00:04:35,045
Then open the EpochXT
Upgrade Utility program

82
00:04:35,046 --> 00:04:38,790
by double clicking on
the desktop icon.

83
00:04:38,791 --> 00:04:42,906
Press the Upgrade EBOOT
software button

84
00:04:42,908 --> 00:04:44,596
Click the Browse button and locate

85
00:04:44,598 --> 00:04:48,635
the BIN files downloaded to your PC.

86
00:04:48,636 --> 00:04:54,056
Select the 1000BOOTC file and
press Open.

87
00:04:54,058 --> 00:04:57,205
Now, start the EPOCH 1000
in upgrade mode,

88
00:04:57,206 --> 00:04:59,621
which allows the BIN files
to be transferred

89
00:04:59,623 --> 00:05:01,848
and installed on the instrument.

90
00:05:01,850 --> 00:05:06,760
Press and hold the [F2] key
and then turn the unit on.

91
00:05:06,761 --> 00:05:11,735
When the instrument displays the
“begin download over USB now” message,

92
00:05:11,736 --> 00:05:15,240
you may release the [F2] key
on the EPOCH.

93
00:05:15,241 --> 00:05:19,211
This message will appear on the screen
for approximately fifteen seconds,

94
00:05:19,213 --> 00:05:21,976
and it is important to press
the Start Download button

95
00:05:21,978 --> 00:05:25,411
on the upgrade utility
within this timeframe.

96
00:05:25,413 --> 00:05:29,446
If the message disappears
before pressing Start Download,

97
00:05:29,448 --> 00:05:31,526
wait for the EPOCH to fully start,

98
00:05:31,528 --> 00:05:35,208
turn the unit off,
and repeat this process.

99
00:05:35,210 --> 00:05:38,585
When the 1000BOOTC file
has finished loading,

100
00:05:38,586 --> 00:05:40,858
the EPOCH 1000 will shut off

101
00:05:40,860 --> 00:05:45,441
and you will be returned to the main
screen on the upgrade utility.

102
00:05:45,443 --> 00:05:49,065
We’ll now repeat the same process
for the second BIN file.

103
00:05:49,066 --> 00:05:53,735
Press the Upgrade Operating Software
button in the upgrade utility.

104
00:05:53,736 --> 00:05:57,506
Then click Browse
to locate the BIN files.

105
00:05:57,508 --> 00:06:01,611
Select the 1000V file and press Open.

106
00:06:01,613 --> 00:06:04,893
As before, hold down
the [F2] key on the EPOCH

107
00:06:04,895 --> 00:06:06,835
and turn the unit on.

108
00:06:06,836 --> 00:06:10,480
When the instrument displays
“begin download over USB now”,

109
00:06:10,481 --> 00:06:13,548
release the [F2] key and quickly
press “Start Download”

110
00:06:13,550 --> 00:06:16,478
on the upgrade utility.

111
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,836
Progress bars on the EPOCH 1000
and the upgrade utility

112
00:06:19,838 --> 00:06:22,458
will provide a status
of the file upgrade.

113
00:06:22,460 --> 00:06:25,428
The progress bar on the EPOCH
will cycle twice;

114
00:06:25,430 --> 00:06:28,173
once to transfer the BIN file
to the instrument,

115
00:06:28,175 --> 00:06:32,260
and a second time to install this
file in the instrument’s memory.

116
00:06:32,261 --> 00:06:35,796
This process may take up
to ten minutes to complete.

117
00:06:35,798 --> 00:06:37,563
When the file has finished loading,

118
00:06:37,565 --> 00:06:39,935
the EPOCH 1000 will
shut off.

119
00:06:39,936 --> 00:06:42,766
You can now close the upgrade utility

120
00:06:42,768 --> 00:06:45,920
disconnect the USB cable
from the EPOCH,

121
00:06:45,921 --> 00:06:48,355
and turn the unit on.

122
00:06:48,356 --> 00:06:52,848
The current software version will
display on-screen during start-up.

123
00:06:52,850 --> 00:06:56,431
As part of the boot up process
immediately following the upgrade,

124
00:06:56,433 --> 00:06:58,583
you may be prompted to back up

125
00:06:58,585 --> 00:07:01,500
your EPOCH 1000 database
to a USB stick.

126
00:07:01,501 --> 00:07:04,100
If desired, insert a USB stick

127
00:07:04,101 --> 00:07:08,651
into one of the host ports on
the EPOCH 1000, and press P1.

128
00:07:08,653 --> 00:07:13,073
If you don’t want to
back up your data, press P2.

129
00:07:13,075 --> 00:07:15,360
The backup will create a
duplicate copy

130
00:07:15,361 --> 00:07:18,318
of all files on to a USB stick.

131
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,286
The USB stick must have
enough available memory

132
00:07:21,288 --> 00:07:24,768
to back up the entire database
from the instrument.

133
00:07:24,770 --> 00:07:29,133
Databases can be as large as 4GB,
but are typically smaller.

134
00:07:29,135 --> 00:07:32,893
The EPOCH will perform a backup
process and then shut down.

135
00:07:32,895 --> 00:07:37,201
You can now turn the unit on and
proceed with normal operation.

136
00:07:37,203 --> 00:07:39,618
This completes the software
upgrade process

137
00:07:39,620 --> 00:07:41,811
for the EPOCH 1000 flaw detector.

138
00:07:41,813 --> 00:07:44,661
