How to Update the Firmware on My FINCH II Display?

New features for the FINCH II display are implemented through firmware updates. Update to the latest version whenever one becomes available to ensure optimal performance.

Before You Begin

Checking Your FINCH Firmware Version

The FINCH display goes through a bootup sequence each time you power on your Titan system. It will display a green F and a number — this is the firmware version. It will then cycle through numbers 0–9 and letters A–F. Notice the number that appears next to the letter F right when the system is powered on: that is the firmware version currently programmed to your FINCH display.
