Updating the internal software (also called firmware) in a DiCE unit is done via VIDA or the DiCE Firmware Update application. This assumes that the USB driver has been installed for the DiCE unit, see Installing the USB driver for DiCE.

The DiCE unit has to be connected with a USB cable and 12 V feed. Ensure that the Firmware status LED is flashing green.

The user interface for updating software is available in English only.
