About RF Logger Firmware Updates
- To update your logger(s), you will need: a USB OTG cable and a USB flash drive formatted as FAT32 (generally the case for drives 32GB or less)
- The latest firmware version will have to be downloaded from the DicksonOne Change Logs to a USB flash drive as updates are done manually.
- Be sure that the USB flash drive does NOT contain any other firmware files.
Check if updates are available
For a device that is not already registered
When you power up your device for the first time or reboot the logger, the screen will show a version number (eg. 1.0.1) right after the word "Loading." You can view the
Change Logs to evaluate if updating would be beneficial.
For a device that is already registered
You can reboot the device as described above or follow the steps below.
On DicksonOne, go to Manage > Devices to review the Device’s current firmware version. If a version is available, you can view the
Change Logs to evaluate if updating would be beneficial.

Update the RF Logger with the new Firmware File
- Plug the USB flash drive into the OTG cable, and plug the OTG cable into the device’s micro USB port.
