GSS7000, GSS9000, C50r Host Controller: How do I configure my GSS9000 system to use a different version of PosApp?

Environment/Versions
  • GSS7000
  • GSS9000
  • C50r Host Controller
Answer
This procedure may require you to update the FPGA versions of the following modules within your GSS7000 or GSS9000:
  • SIGNAL GENERATOR
  • UPCONVERTER
  • TIMER
  • CALIBRATOR (GSS9000 only)
Consult the appropriate FAQ article to identify what FPGA versions you require for the chosen version of PosApp: For instructions on how to check and update the FPGA Image versions, read article FAQ16924


To configure your system to run the chosen PosApp release:
  1. Install the required FPGA updates, instructions can be found in FAQ16924. This steps requires that the simulator is powered off and on
  2. Navigate to D:\posapp\software
  3. Make a note of the folder name of the PosApp version you wish to use - for example 'V7_02_00'
  4. Navigate to D:\posapp\conf and open the text file called 'active_version.txt'
  5. Change the content of the file to the folder name chosen in step 3  - for example 'V7_02_00' and save the changes
  6. Navigate to D:\posapp\software\<version>\gui\Host_control, where <version> is the folder containing the release of PosApp you want to use
  7. Open the utility 'Host_control.exe', click 'Connect' and restart the firmware and engine using the appropriate buttons
  8. Return to the 'gui' folder and open PosApp using the file 'PosApp.exe'
