Upgrade Firmware (VI)

Stop Tasks Automatically specifies to automatically end all tasks running on the target, even if they are incomplete and switch to firmware update mode. The default is TRUE.

Resource in is the resource to be changed.

Firmware File specifies the name and location of the firmware file on the local computer.

Always Overwrite specifies to overwrite the destination firmware image even if the version is the same as or older than the version of the destination firmware image. If FALSE, the function checks the version of the firmware and returns an error if the current version is newer than the version to which you are upgrading. If the firmware version is the same and this parameter is set to FALSE, the VI does not upgrade the firmware and returns success. If TRUE, this VI automatically upgrades the firmware, regardless of the version of the destination firmware image. By default, this VI will overwrite the firmware image only if the specified version is newer.

error in (no error) describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.

Remote Timeout specifies the time in milliseconds that this VI waits to initiate the firmware process before it times out. The default amount of time that the VI waits for a response on the network before timing out is 5 minutes. This timeout is for remote systems only.

Resource out returns basic information about the system resource.

Detailed Result is a string containing results of any errors that may have occurred during the VI execution. This parameter also may return additional information about the value returned in Firmware Status .

Firmware Status returns the status of the firmware update. If this parameter returns update pending user restart , call the Restart VI. If this parameter returns update pending user action , refer to Detailed Result for more information.

error out returns error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.

Firmware Version specifies the firmware version you want to apply to the target.
