Hi Vince, I was curious and clicked on the links you provided. I have the 6312 (checked the back of the console) wireless model and downloaded the update just to see what happens (see image below). It gives an option for serial or USB. My Windoze PC doesn't have the old serial port and I'm not sure what I ever did with my serial-to-USB connector but I guess that's what I would need to do the update. I probably won't mess with it further given the updates noted that I didn't think were that worthy:
- Improved evapotranspiration (ET) calculation - Modified heat index table to better support high temp and high humidity environments - Restored "Receiving From" from initial boot screen for easier setup configuration - Minor improvements to allow use of new (or alternate)Temp/Hum and Barometer - Added additional support for international radio frequencies.
