Software Update – Mac Instructions – Follow these steps prior to following the standard instructions

  1. Plug USB in MAC
  2. Open “Disk Utility” (If you don’t know where this is, you can locate it by using Spotlight Search)
  3. In “Disk Utility”, go to the External tab and click where it says “Firmware”.
  4. Click “Erase”
  5. Select Format to MS-DOS (FAT), and Scheme to GUID Partition Map and erase it
  6. Follow steps 1-8 from the Standard Instructions list (above)
    • Note: Make sure you download directly to your Mac Desktop (as opposed to directly to your thumb drive). Next, open up Finder. Go to Locations. Click on your external thumb drive (nothing at all should be in it at this point). Now, drag the file from your desktop into that location.

Software Update – Standard Instructions – Follow these instructions if you do not have a Mac laptop or desktop

    1. Fill out the short form to download the firmware file (.fff). Download directly to your Desktop, or drag to your desktop (as opposed to directly to your thumb drive). Don’t try to open it – drag the .fff file from your desktop into your external thumb drive location.
      • If it asks for a password then your computer rendered a zip file and you might be unintentionally trying to unzip or open the file, and you don’t need to do that. You just need to install the file onto a jump drive.
    2. Plug the flash drive into the USB port on the bottom of the Fraction Finder.
    3. Turn the Fraction Finder on.
    4. After the initial boot screen, you should see a Firmware updater screen appear on it. You will notice that it will quickly hit 41%, then it won’t update at all for about 10 minutes. This is normal.
    5. After the firmware update, the software should boot up as normal into the newest update.
      • Note: If you tried to update your Fraction Finder and it registered, but said “No firmware found”, then delete the file from your computer, quit out of your Internet browser, and start over. If you tried again, and it still failed to upload, email brains@arometrix.com about this. We will directly email you the file and make sure that you get this new software.
    6. Unplug the flash drive from the Fraction Finder.
    7. Delete the file from the flash drive to avoid re-updating your Fraction Finder accidentally.
