6. BASE 120 / BASE 600 Firmware Update

6.1. Preparation

Connect your BASE module to your PC. Start the software Vci3floadGui or Vci4floadGui via Windows Explorer. You will find the software in C:\Program Files\IXXAT\3.5 or C:\Program Files\HMS\IXXAT VCI 4.0 after the installation of the QmixElements or Nemesys User Interface software (see figure below).

The software will show you the detected USB-to-CAN interface. If the software does not detect any USB-to-CAN interface then please try to connect your BASE module to another USB interface of your PC.

You only need to do an update, if you have a V2 device, that means, if you have an USB-to-CAN V2 embedded or an USB-to-CAN V2 compact. If you do not have a V2 device, then you are finished now.

6.2. Update procedure

An USB-to-CAN V2 device should appear in the Device field ❶ of the Flashloader window.
