How To Update the Fixture Library on EchoTouch
Question
How do I update my the fixture library on my EchoTouch, separately from the touchscreen software?
Answer
To update the software or fixture library of your EchoTouch, you will need an internet-connected computer, and a FAT32-formatted USB to transfer the file(s).
First, check your current version of EchoTouch software. If you are not running the latest version, please update your EchoTouch before proceeding.
Installing a fixture library update on a console not already running the matching version of software can cause issues that could require your console be reset to factory defaults.
- To download the fixture library update, go to the EchoTouch Software download page, and click on the file named "EchoTouch vX.X.X Library Update X.X.X."
- Once the compressed folder has downloaded, unzip it to see two files: the library update (.cspkg), and a library contents list (.html).
- Put the .cspkg file in the root directory of your USB drive, and insert the USB into your EchoTouch.
- On the console, navigate to Setup > Files > Advanced > Install Extras.
- You should see the .cspkg file as an available option. Make sure it's selected, and hit "Accept," then "Yes" to confirm the installation.
- Once the install is complete, restart your EchoTouch by pressing the Reset button near the USB port.
- Once the EchoTouch has fully booted, navigate to Patch > Add Device to confirm you have the current fixture profiles available in the Standard Library.
