Latest iMRS Prime firmware 2.10 is expected to release mid-March 2021. Check out the https://imrsprime.com/ on the availability. This post will summarizes some of the key enhancement in 2.10

Enhancement & Fixes

• Newly implemented USB protocol for fast and secure application recognition (no more applicator initializing window necessary)
• Select Language on initial start-up of the system
• New Language “French” implemented
• Factory Reset removes music files as well as recorded applications. Currently, if you do a factory reset, saved records like HRV records will still remain in the system.
• Uploaded music files remain saved (even after reboot). This is a problem reported in 2.08.
• The connector box recognizes multiple applicators of the same type
• Displaying actual “microTesla” values in Trial Mode
• In Hybrid Mode only Exagon FIR can be selected. Currently, other applicators like Pad/Spot will be shown in Hybrid Mode, but not able to run. This causes unnecessary confusion to the user.
• The applicator icons in Manual and Hybrid mode are now also displaying the side, where they are plugged in the Connectorbox (L = Left, R = Right)
• Speakers and headphones don’t need to be manually assigned anymore, instead: on Control Unit: earphone plug 1 = left side, earphone plug 2 = right side, USB for Exagon Brain plug 1 = left side, USB for Exagon Brain plug 2 = right side, on the Connectorbox: Exagon Brain left = left, Exagon Brain right = right! This is important while using the Split Mode!

• Automatic FIR heating turn-off while in Pause/Standby-Mode
• No more “crackling” noises during an Exagon Brain application
• Goggles can now be selected in Program Mode
• Music/Tones volume ratio is now selectable in settings
• Correction of various typos

Recommendation:

For those who currently are already running 2.0 or 2.01 firmware, you may wait for the release of this firmware, instead of upgrading to 2.08 now, unless you are using the Exagon BRAIN, where 2.08 is the minimal requirement.

Release date: 21-Jan-2021. Prime 2.08 firmware is available for download now

Prformance and stability improvements:

• Disabling selection of pad and spot in “Programming Mode” while using Exagon Sense
• Fewer detection failures while plugging and unplugging applicators very fast and very often. Implementation of a new screen message for applicator initialization. No operation possible until all applicators are detected and assigned:
  
  
• Application stability improvement, especially with longer sessions (no more unexpected drop-outs)
• Failure message “Set all parameters” eliminated
• Correction of several typos

The following additional function is now available:

• Complete control and operating surface for Exagon Brain (incl. operation of 2 independent Exagon Brain systems in “Split Mode”)

Download firmware 2.08 here

Be aware, that any firmware with a 1.XX version (you can check your version by simply go to “Settings” and then “System Information”) needs to be upgraded to 2.00 prior to the upgrade of any version higher than 2.00! The reason for that is based on the fact, that we changed data separation from version 2.00 in order to speed up the update process and save time while uploading new files!

Download Firmware 2.00 here

If you have upgraded to 2.08, DO NOT downgrade the firmware to 2.00 again. This may crash the system.

If you own a system, which is already updated to 2.00 or higher, you can skip this chapter and action!

Important Note: Make sure, that you have your activation code on hand, in order to reprogram all your iMRS prime options after the update process. You can find your activation code on your invoice. If you are not able to find it, please contact your respective country office, they will provide it to you!

Once firmware 2.08 has been installed, a new pop-up window will appear asking you to assign the internal speakers. This setting is necessary to prepare the iMRS prime for the Exagon Brain functionality. The iMRS prime will hereby automatically play a melody and ask you to confirm the audibility of the internal speakers. This step has to be performed initially only once as the iMRS prime will save the setting afterwards (it needs to be only repeated after a factory reset or a forced reboot), see also screenshot below:

After completing this step, the iMRS prime is ready for use!

Potential Issues you may face after upgrading to 2.08

Due to some new features introduced in 2.08 in the applicators detection process, if your system gets stuck at the initializing applicators screen for more than 5 minutes. If you are facing this issue, please refer to this KB: https://imrsasia.com/kb/initializing-applicators-hang/ on how to troubleshoot the problem.
