The latest Eclipse software and the software tools described below can be obtained via the Eventide Web
Site http://www.eventide.com/.
Creating an “Upgrade Card”
In order to create an “Upgrade Card,” you must have access to the Eventide website, a PC with a Compact
Flash card reader, and an application (e.g., WinZip) that can open and extract zip files. (You may have re-
ceived an “Upgrade Card” directly from Eventide, in which case you can skip this section.)
1. Download the “Card Upgrade” file from the Eventide website. This file will generally be in the form of
a zip file.
2. Insert a blank, formatted Compact Flash card into the card reader attached to your PC.
3. Done!
Updating with a Memory Card
1. Power down the Eclipse.
2. Insert the “Upgrade Card” into the
MEMORY CARD slot.
3. While holding down the
1 key, power on the Eclipse.
4. Wait patiently for the programming process to finish. If the programming process is successful, a
Pro-
gramming Completed. Cycle Power
message will appear.
5. Power down the Eclipse.
6. Remove the “Upgrade Card” and go about your business. The programming process is complete.
Installing OUpdate
“OUpdate” requires a PC running Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT or Windows 2000.
1. Create a directory (folder) into which all the files we provide can be placed.
2. Using your internet browser, download the “oinstall” application from the Eventide website and save it
in the directory you created.
3. Double-click on “oinstall”. You will see the application “OUpdate” appear along with a few associated
files.
Upgrade via the OUpdate Application
1. Download the update “.bam” file from the Eventide website (e.g., “esys2100.bam”). Save the file in the
same directory (folder) that contains “OUpdate.”
2. Power down the Eclipse.
3. Connect a 9-pin “straight-through” Male-Female serial cable (Radio Shack p/n 26-117) between your
PC serial port and the Eclipse serial port.
4. Start the OUpdate application (double-click on its icon).
5. While holding down the 2 key on the Eclipse, power up the Eclipse. You should see Eventide Soft-
ware Update Utility Awaiting Contact
.
6. If you have not connected the Eclipse to the COM1 port on your PC, you may need to use the “OUp-
date Setup” button to change the COM port. You should not change the default settings of 115200
baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
7. Select the appropriate “.bam” file from the list in the OUpdate window (e.g. “esys0610.bam”) and press
Send.
8. Wait until both the Eclipse screen and OUpdate application indicate that programming has been com-
pleted.
9. Power down the Eclipse. You’re done…
When you next restart the Eclipse, it will ask you if you want to clear the setup, i.e. return the system to factory settings. You
should say OK to this, and prepare yourself for the task of re-entering such SETUP values as you have changed.
