Getting Echo Device Firmware from UpdaterAtor

Description

Most Echo devices can have their firmware updated by use of a microSD card and the ETC UpdaterAtor software.  However, UpdaterAtor is mostly used to update ETC devices over a DMX cable or Network connection, making Echo Firmware retrieval a bit of a different process.  Please see the steps below on how to achieve this.

NOTE: This must be done on a computer.  This cannot be done through UpdaterAtor on a Console.  

  1. Insert microSD card into computer and launch UpdaterAtor software.  
    1. If this is your first time launching this software, or updating to a particular firmware version, you will need an Internet connection to computer as well.
