| C.A 8230 firmware 1.6 (2012-07-13) |
+------------------------------------+

(French-English-German-Italian-Spanish-Portuguese language version)

The embedded software of the C.A 8230 can be updated by the user
with the optical link.

Warning: updating of the embedded software causes all data to be 
deleted (configuration, photographs).
Back up any data to be kept on a PC using the dedicated software 
before updating the embedded software.

Updates to the embedded software depend on its compatibility with 
the hardware version of the instrument.

The serial number, the software version and the hardware version of 
the C.A 8230 can be displayed on the screen as follows:
1. Switch the instrument to ON.
2. Press the setup button.  
3. Select the information menu.

| Upgrade procedure |
+-------------------+
1) Download the compress file
This ZIP archive contains the following files :

	- hex55.exe
	- CA8230.out
	- PloaderCA8230.exe
	- ReadMe-First.txt
	- LisezMoi-dabord.txt

2) All those files must be extracted in the same directory
3) Run "PloaderCA8230.exe"
4) Follow the instructions...

Note : Be sure to have your instrument correctly linked to your PC.

| Revision history |
+------------------+

Firmware 1.6
------------
- (additional feature) The E3N current sensor is handled.

Note : this firmware is compatible with hardware versions 0.2 and 1.2.

Firmware 1.5
------------
- (correction) The sign of the reactive values is now correctly handled in 3PHI mode with harmonics.
- (correction) The Rogowski-current-channel gain is set to 1 in Inrush mode (formerly set to 0).
- (correction) Energy counters are now all positive (absolute values).

Note : this firmware is compatible with hardware versions 0.2 and 1.2.

Firmware 1.4
------------
- (additional feature) New hysteresis values have been added (20, 50 and 100 %) in "Inrush" mode (100 % leads to total memory filling).
- (additional feature) The DC value of the current is now displayed (in calibration mode) in "Wave>Text" mode and "Harmonic" mode.
- (correction) An error test for "VAR-with-harmonics" calculation has been added.
- (correction) Incorrect cases of recording end mark have been moved aside ("Monitor" mode).
- (correction) The "Tangent-Phi" error conditions have been corrected.
- (correction) The "Wave.AFrms" value is now never forced to zero (in order to avoid a frequency calculation instability).
- (correction) The calibration procedure has been corrected (error unfortunately brought by firmware 1.3).
- (correction) The last two recorded harmonic orders are now displayed into the measurement selection box ("Monitor" mode).
- (change) An incorrect value now invalidates the aggregation which it belongs to ("Monitor" mode).
- (change) Frequency error calculation propagation is now deeper.
- (change) When the voltage signal is lost the "half-cycle-Vrms(max)" value is now reset.

Note : this firmware is compatible with hardware versions 0.2 and 1.2.

Firmware 1.3
------------
- (additional feature) Hook-up information is recorded with each alarm.
- (additional feature) The numerical filter is automatically reinitialized when instability conditions are detected (for voltage channel too).
- (correction) A lot of language strings have been corrected.
- (change) Inrush duration is now systematically displayed (in red if a problem occured).
- (change) Language names are represented by the codes defined in ISO 639-1.
- (change) Sensor names are now dependant on instrument model.

Note : this firmware is compatible with hardware versions 0.2 and 1.2.

Firmware 1.2
------------
- (correction) The serial number is now correctly displayed in "Setup>About" mode.
- (change) the default color of the current channel is dark blue.

Note : this firmware is compatible with hardware versions 0.2 and 1.2.

Firmware 1.1
------------
- (additional feature) The numerical filter is automatically reinitialized when instability conditions are detected (for current channel only).
- (correction) The percentage of recording accomplishement is now correctly refreshed in "Monitor" mode.
- (correction) Undetermined model is now C.A 8230 forced (with, of course, a C.A 8230 splash screen).

Note : this firmware is compatible with hardware versions 0.2 and 1.2.

Firmware 1.0
------------
Initial revision.
