Firmware Upgrade Tool for Front-end Boards Bridges & VME Power Supply
CAENUPGRADER
CAENUpgrader is a software tool with a Java Graphical User Interface (for Windows and Linux OS) to easily upgrade the firmware on a large selection of CAEN boards, including digitizers, bridges and controllers, VME power supply boards. It reunites all the functions included in the cvUpgrade, CAENBridgeUpgrade and PLLConfig CAEN programs, also allowing to configure the PLL settings of VME digitizers (i.e. set the ADC sampling frequency, enable the clock output, etc.), to get the hardware and firmware information and load the license to unlock the pay firmware (e.g. DPP-CI, DPP-PHA, DPP-PSD and DPP-ZLEplus).
CAENUpgrader requires the installation of the CAENComm and CAENVMELib libraries, as well as the third-party Java SE 6 (or higher).
CAENComm allows CAENUpgrader to access target board via USB or via CAEN proprietary CONET optical link, using the following channels of communication:
-
PC => USB => CAEN Front-end Modules with USB 2.0 interface
-
PC => USB => V1718 => VME => CAEN Slave VME Modules
-
PC => USB => V3718 => VME => CAEN Slave VME Modules
-
PC => PCI (A2818)/PCIe (A3818) => Optical Link => CAEN Modules with Opt. link
-
PC => PCI (A2818)/PCIe (A3818) => Optical Link => V2718 => VME => CAEN Slave VME Modules
-
PC => PCI (A2818)/PCIe (A3818) => Optical Link => V3718 => VME => CAEN Slave VME Modules

×Note:
CAEN Upgrader is no longer receiving updates. If you’ve already downloaded the software, you can still use CAEN Upgrader, but we strongly recommend switching to CAEN Toolbox. It’s our new software designed to update and debug your Frontend Boards, Power Supply, and Controller.
