  1. Last updated
  2. Save as PDF

Occasionally, Racelogic will release new firmware for LabSat 2 units to improve the functionality or add new features.

You can find and download the latest firmware version for your LabSat 2 on the LabSat website.  When you download the LabSat 2 firmware upgrade file, it will automatically download an Upgrader.exe file as well, as long as this file does not already exist on your PC.  

 

To perform a firmware update on your LabSat 2, you will need the following:

  • Mains Power Supply (RLVBACS020)
  • Power Cable (RLCAB010L)
  • USB A to USB B lead (RLCAB042)
  • LabSat Upgrade Connector (RLACS161)
  • Downloaded upgrade file (.RUF)
  • LabSat 2 Software

 

Use the following instructions to upgrade your LabSat 2:

  1. Make sure you only have the DATA USB and the power cables connected to your LabSat 2 unit.
  2. Connect the DATA USB cable to the PC. 
  3. Open the LabSat 2 software.
  4. Click on the About button to confirm that the firmware that is currently installed on your LabSat 2 is an older version than the firmware you wish to upgrade to.

  1. Close the LabSat software.
  2. Power off the LabSat 2.
  3. Connect the GPS Monitor USB cable between the Labsat and the PC.
  4. Double-click on the downloaded file with the .RUF format (Racelogic Upgrade File).The file will automatically use the Upgrader.exe file located in the Racelogic Utilities folder in the Program Files on your PC to start the upgrade.
  5. Connect the LabSat Upgrade Connector (RLACS161) to the DIGITAL IO port (26-way D-type connector) on the LabSat unit to connect pin 22 (the upgrade pin) to pin 14 (ground).  You should see a prompt asking you to enter the bootloader. Do not click on the OK button yet.
  6. Power up the LabSat 2 unit. It should now be in upgrade mode.
  7. Click the OK  button on the upgrade prompt. I​​f the unit has recognised the connection to the COM port on the GPS Monitor, the upgrade will begin automatically.
  8. Power-cycle your LabSat unit when the upgrade has been completed.
  9. Repeat Steps 1-4 above to confirm that your connected unit is using the new firmware version.
