Notetaker English Firmware Revision 4.00 Update
For use with the Braille Lite M20, M40 and Type Lite notetakers
(Please note that
we are now using revision numbers instead of a date for this and future
notetaker firmware updates.)
This free Notetaker
Firmware Revision 4.00 Update maximizes the functionality and performance
of your Freedom Scientific notetaker.
As in the June 2002
update, the feature allowing separation of the A and B sides of the notetaker
is included in this current release. This will also allow the user to
load different firmware versions in order to test a new update without
changing both sides. As a professional and/or student, you can create
and support two user profiles. For instance, you can configure printer
parameters for your home printer on Bank A and configure printer parameters
for your office printer on Bank B. Using the Chord-A or Chord-B on start-up
determines the side used.
This new firmware
update procedure updates both sides of the firmware at the same time automatically.
During the update process, you will be prompted to press A to update Bank
A, and B to update Bank B or C to automatically update both banks. This
has changed since the June 2002 Update.
Update File Changes:
• As mentioned
above, updates now use a revision number instead of a date to designate
the version of firmware. This update is revision 4.00.
• When you reach
the first "Y or N" prompt in the update process, type number
sign (DOTS 3-4-5-6, or SHIFT+3 on the Type Lite) to show the revision
number of the firmware. After installing the update, type R from the status
menu to get the revision number.
• Update file
names have been changed to use "enu" instead of "eng"
to indicate English language.
Macro Changes:
• Using V-CHORD
or K-CHORD while recording macros no longer speaks "silence macros"
or "speak macros" as the macro executes.
• Toggling speech
on and off within macros now works properly.
• The speed of
macro execution when silence macros is enabled has been improved.
• A startup macro
that displays the time now works correctly.
• Pressing J-CHORD,
SPACEBAR now executes the startup macro if it exists.
Miscellaneous
Fixes:
• You can now
move past blank lines with the M40 when "skip blank lines" is
turned off.
• You can now
copy read-only files from a CompactFlash card to the unit.
• If you have
technical questions, please call 727-803-8600 or email:
