should see the controller restart after about 60-90 seconds, and you will see the
normal start-up sequence of the LEDs. If you can’t see the E682, or if you don’t
see the LEDs doing the start-up sequence, just wait at least 3 minutes. The black
command window for the updater will close automatically after about 90 seconds.
8) Refresh the configuration page of the E682. IMPORTANT: You MUST refresh the
page by typing an actual command in the command box, either a legitimate
command or a dummy command such as XX. If you refresh using F5 or your
browser’s “refresh” button, you will actually send another GF command and
that will start a new firmware update attempt which will wipe out the result
status of the last one.
If the firmware update was successful, you will see the
new firmware version shown on the web page. If the new version doesn’t show, check
the “last firmware update status” line for an explanation as to why it failed. If
the configuration page won’t update, wait a minute or so and try again. Please do
not manually reset the E68x controller unless you have waited at least 5
minutes after issuing the GF command.
Notes:
You need to enter the GF command within 10 seconds or so of starting the updater.
The following status messages may be displayed for “Last Firmware Update Status”:

‘no firmware update has been attempted since the last controller
restart. Note that you will see this message after a successful update
since the controller will have restarted.
‘the update operation timed out before receiving the complete firmware
‘the firmware file being sent is not compatible with this hardware.
‘more than one instance of the updater program was sending a firmware
file at the same time.
‘the received file was not valid
‘a firmware update is currently in progress
The firmware update process involves several steps. First the firmware file is
downloaded to the controller. Next it is checked to make sure that it is a valid
firmware file, and that it is for that controller type (E680, E681, or E682). Next
the new firmware file is written to the eeprom on the E68x, and finally the E68x
restarts.
It is important to not interrupt power to the E68x controller, or reset it, during
the time that the new file is written to the eeprom.
You can load either a newer or older firmware version into the controller.
GV, a.b This command sets the gamma correction value.
Gamma correction is only applicable to 12-bit pixels such as the TLS3001 (also CYT3005),
and is used to make the dimming response of the pixels more like incandescent bulbs. A
typical value would be 2.0, acceptable values are 1.0 to 3.0 in steps of 0.2.
DP, n Enables dynamic page switching. N from 0-512, 0=off.
Dynamic page switching is an advanced feature. This allows the controller to switch
between different configurations “on the fly” based on a value that’s sent over a
specified DMX channel. When this feature is made active, by entering a value between 1
