FieldDAQ devices use an onboard processor and firmware to facilitate TSN network communication. From time to time, this firmware may be updated to improve performance or correct issues with previous firmware versions. Although firmware will be backward-compatible in many cases (newer firmware can be used with older NI-DAQmx versions), it is possible that you may need to upgrade your firmware version in order to use your FieldDAQ device with newer versions of NI-DAQmx.
Starting in NI-DAQmx 19.0, the newest version of FieldDAQ Firmware can be downloaded as an optional addition to the NI-DAQmx driver installation. If you are using NI-DAQmx 19.0 or newer, download the firmware by selecting the optional package in NI Package Manager when installing NI-DAQmx.
To determine what version of firmware is on your FieldDAQ device, complete the following steps.
If you need to upgrade the firmware on your device, you should complete the following steps. You must keep the device plugged in and powered on throughout the firmware upgrade process. Failure to do so may corrupt the firmware on your device. FieldDAQ maintains a backup copy of the firmware in case the firmware updates fails for any reason, or the main copy of the firmware is corrupted.
Older versions of FieldDAQ firmware can be found at ni.com/downloads.
