Automatic installation of new firmware from anbsensors.com
To download the latest firmware from our website select 'y'. This downloads both Interface and Driver firmwares and automatically installs them to your sensor in turn.
For certain older sensor versions, the utils application may prompt you to repower the sensor between firmware installations

Manual installation of new firmware from downloaded files
If you do not want to download the latest firmware from the website select 'n' and manually download the required Driver and Interface firmware files into the same folder as anb_utils.
NB. The PCB Version displayed on the splash screen tells you which Driver (STM or ATX) and Interface (IA or IB) firmwares you need. For sensors currently running older firmware check here for which firmware version is required
Select a firmware file to install on the Sensor:
1 STM_10.8.hex
2 IB_10.8.hex
* Once installation begins, ensure the sensor is always powered
Enter file [1-2]:
Choose the firmware you want to upload to your sensor and follow the on-screen instructions to power cycle your sensor. The firmware installation will then start with a percentage completion countdown.

Would you like to install more firmware? [y/n]
Select 'y' if you want to install more firmware, or 'n' if you have finished.
Once you have power cycled your sensor you can verify the firmware has installed successfully by restarting anb_utils and checking the splash screen.
Driver and Interface firmwares should be installed together. When you have installed one, the sensor details will not be available on the splash screen. Enter to continue and install the second. When both are successfully installed the sensor details will be available after power cycling.
If you're running firmware v9 or earlier and experiencing upgrade issues, update to v9.5 first before upgrading to the latest version.
