Upgrade Details
Additional or alternate functionality can be obtained for 4Links SpaceWire test equipment, so that one unit can serve you for multiple jobs (and thus can offer a significant cost saving over multiple units).
User-installable firmware upgrades (supplied on a memory card) can be used to upgrade or change the functionality of a platform, and these are available for any product listed in the same column as your existing product.
Upgrades to products in a different column will involve hardware changes and will require your EtherSpaceLink unit to be returned briefly to 4Links in the UK.
Upgrades involving the relocation of the SpaceWire connectors from the front of a unit to the rear, or vice-versa, are not normally permitted.
The 4Links SpaceWire test equipment products are available in each hardware platform as listed below:
