2583 2017-01-17 Lab none Installed East End Anemometer Installed on East End tower to replace sn 153804.
2573 2017-01-06 Lab none Upgrade Lab none Upgraded firmware to correct for W bug.

Old SN: Y124215
New SN: X124215
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 X124215. Finally, I used the third upgrade file, "X120908 X124215-m.gcu," to upgrade the firmware.
