Identifying the embedded OS and system version / firmware installed

You should regularly check that your OSA20 has both the latest embedded Windows Operating System and OSA20 system version software installed, particularly if you experience issues with your OSA20, which may be addressed by a fix in a newer OSA system version package (see the associated ReadMe file for details).

To check the software / firmware versions currently installed on your OSA20, do the following:

1. From the OSA20 home window, touch the System button.

2. Touch the More button to access additional system information.

3. Examine the details shown under the PC: section of the screen:

3a. The OS: field displays the currently installed Operating System version.

3b. The GUI: field displays the currently installed OSA20 system version / embedded firmware version.
