If You Are Upgrading from Version 3 Software...
Whenever you access a DFR11EQ with Version 3 software, the computer will ask you if you
would like to upgrade the unit to Version 4. If you wish to, click on the OK button and the Version 4
software will automatically upgrade the unit. If you do not wish to, click on the NO button to access the
unit without upgrading.
In Version 3 of the DFR11EQ software, scenes were stored in the DFR11EQ.INI files, so there
was a 16 scene limit. In Version 4, each scene has its own file, so you can store an unlimited number
of scenes on disk. When Version 4 software is installed over Version 3, the setup will automatically
copy all scenes saved in the DFR11EQ.INI file into a subdirectory called SCENES. The file names
will be the first 6 letters of the old scene name followed by a 2-digit number. The full scene name is
stored in the description field.
Accessing Unupgraded Version 3 DFR11EQs with Version 4 Software
If there are DFR11EQ units which were shipped with Version 3 software in a Shure Link network,
Version 4 will automatically prompt you to upgrade the software when you try to access that unit. If
you do not wish to update an older unit to Version 4 software, click on CANCEL when prompted. You
will still be able to access a DFR11EQ running on Version 3, but some of the newer options on the
Version 4 software will not be available. These options will appear greyed out on the interface. See
the illustration above. Options which are unavailable under Version 3 operation include: output level
control, delay, IN/OUT meters, and parametric equalization. On an unupgraded DFR11EQ, you will
be able to take snapshots of response curves.
