System requirements

• MacOS X 10.7 (Lion) or newer on Intel or Windows 7 or newer.
• A digitizer with firmware v6.1 or higher, including applicable drivers.


• The WiDig requires a USB port with virtual serial port drivers.
• The USB-microDig requires a USB port with virtual serial port drivers.
• The Wi-microDig requires a Bluetooth interface (eg. the BluetoothAdapter), with virtual serial port drivers.

Installation and user manuals, tutorials and tips

WiDig

• Throughout the upgrade process for a WiDig use the same USB port to connect the WiDig to the computer.
• On MacOS the serial port to use will be named "SLAB_USBtoUART ... ", on Windows it will be named "COM3" or similar.
• Use EditorX v8.0x to access and configure the features enabled by firmware v8.0x or firmware v7.5x.
• It is not possible to downgrade from v8.0 to v7.5 (or lower) because firmware v8.0 requires a digitizer with hardware v8.0, which cannot run firmware v7.5 or lower.

USB-microDig

• Throughout the upgrade process for a USB-microDig use the same USB port to connect the USB-microDig to the computer.
• On MacOS the serial port to use will be named "SLAB_USBtoUART ... ", on Windows it will be named "COM3" or similar.
• Use EditorX v8.0x to access and configure the features enabled by firmware v8.0x or firmware v7.5x.
• Use EditorX v7.3x to access and configure the features enabled by firmware v7.3x.
• Use EditorX v7.2x to access and configure the features enabled by firmware v7.2.
• It is not possible to upgrade from firmware v7.5 (or lower) to v8.0 because firmware v8.0 requires a digitizer with hardware v8.0.
• It is not possible to upgrade from firmware v7.3 (or lower) to v7.5 or downgrade from v7.5 to v7.3 (or lower) because firmware v7.5 requires a digitizer with hardware v7.5, which cannot run firmware v7.3 or lower.
• If after upgrading to firmware v7.3 or v7.2 you need to downgrade to firmware v7.2 or v7.1 use FirmwareX v7.2x or v7.1x. Then use EditorX v7.2 or v7.1x to configure the USB-microDig.
• This upgrade is fully guaranteed. If after performing the upgrade with FirmwareX your USB-microDig still has the same firmware version (ie. it wasn't upgraded) or became unresponsive, send us the USB-microDig as per the return instructions. We will upgrade the unit and send it back to you for free !

Wi-microDig

• On MacOS the serial port to use will be named "I-CubeX Wi-microDig ... ", on Windows it will be named "COM3" or similar.
• Use EditorX v7.3x to access and configure the features enabled by firmware v6.3x.
• Use EditorX v7.2x to access and configure the features enabled by firmware v6.2.
• If after upgrading to firmware v6.2 you need to downgrade to firmware v6.2 or v6.1 use FirmwareX v6.2x or v6.1x. Then use EditorX v7.2x or EditorX v7.1x to configure the Wi-microDig.
• This upgrade is fully guaranteed. If your Wi-microDig becomes unresponsive after attempting the upgrade, send us the Wi-microDig as per the return instructions. We will upgrade the unit and send it back to you for free !

Known issues

Please notify us if you encounter a bug or issue.

• MacOS High Sierra is only supported by the 64 bit versions of FirmwareX.
• FirmwareX v6.x may not succeed in connecting to a Wi-microDig on MacOS 10.12 or higher. Please use Connect (v1.5 or higher) instead, a computer with MacOS 10.7 - 10.11 or a computer with Windows 7 or higher.
• USB-microDigs with hardware v7.0 can't be updated with Connect v1.5.0 - use FirmwareX instead.
• Some USB-microDigs with firmware v7.0 can't be upgraded with FirmwareX because their flash memory was locked during manufacturing, but we can upgrade them for you at our office for free. Contact us the unit about it.
