2581 2017-01-17 Lab none Installed West Pond Anemometer Installed on West Pond tower to replace sn 120907.
2572 2017-01-06 Lab none Upgrade Lab none Upgraded firmware to correct for W bug.

Old SN: Y120908
New SN: X120908
Upgrade file: Y074417-Y124215-m.gcu, Y012345-s.gcu, X120908 X124215-m.gcu
Old firmware: 2329-114
New firmware: 2329-116-01

All Checksum fields report PASS.

There are multiple upgrade .gcu files. During the initial upgrade using file "Y074417-Y124215-m.gcu," the sensor was set at 57,600 baud rate. This baud rate caused an error in the upgrade, so the SN reset to Y012345. Gill sent me the second upgrade file, "Y-12345-s.gcu," which reset the sensor to SN X120908. Finally, I used the third upgrade file, "X120908 X124215-m.gcu," to upgrade the firmware.
