Live Sight on a Carbon
I’ve installed a LS transducer with the ss1 module for using LS. I don’t seemed to be getting quality images. Is this to be expected or have I missed something in the install?

Have you updated both to 20.0

This is the software version on the units.

-
I couldn’t attach the pic. The units are running software version 19.1..

My units connect to my house WiFi. Am I able to do all the updates this way? Or do I have to put them on a micro sd?

I think if you have a chip in the unit it will download on the chip and you can transfer to the LiveSight to update

Units said that the transducer was up to date. But the units needed to be updated to 20.0. I’ll if it makes an improvement this weekend. I’ll post back my results. Thank for your help.

Here is an article and step by step video showing how to update the transducer (and unit) properly. This was done in August just after update 19.1 came out; the process is the same for the 20 update. I find many people quit out of the transducer update too early, not realizing it needs to reflash the unit before the update actually gets installed after downloading.
Hope this helps.

I downloaded all the updates; unit, scan, and transducer. Gonna try to download them this afternoon. I’ll let ya know.
Thanks

I put them on the SD card.

Be sure to watch the second part of the video I referenced. The procedure for installing .riw files (transducer update) is different than the standard .upd update files.
-
Is a .dms file the same as a .riw file? when I highlight the file, it only gives me the option to copy, not upgrade. when I download, it downloads as "unknown7.dms".
I'm slightly confused!!

This is the file name: LiveSight-20.0-63.1.223-Standard-1.riw
There is no .dms I don't know how you are getting that file; never seen it

I got it to work. Had to use my wife’s laptop. She runs Chrome and I use Safari. For some reason I couldn’t download the riw file. All good now. It seemed to improve things. Thanks for all your help.
