Section 3.3 - Updating Firmware


Firmware, as differentiated from software, is the set of programs loaded directly onto the FocusLynx focuser hub's internal microprocessor in order to enable the hub to perform all of the functions that it needs to perform.


In the past, upgrading most focusers, cameras, or other instruments with new firmware would necessitate the expense and inconvenience of shipping the device back to the manufacturer and waiting days for it to be returned. However, the  FocusLynx eliminates this hassle by allowing you to upgrade your firmware directly through the FocusLynx Commander control software.
