Upgrading VP2 Firmware

I've been given a VP2 with logger which appears to be working well with Cumulus MX (two months now). Looking at some of the settings, the firmware is 1.7. I believe the latest is 3.3.
Anyone know if there is any major advantage of updating firmware, and if update fails, can I "roll back" to 1.7?
The console year of manufacture is 2009 and logger is also 2009 era (the latter I believe is a different spec to the current models.)

Any thoughts would be gratefully received.

Congratulations!
Here is an excellent source of information https://www.manula.com/manuals/pws/davi ... e-firmware
I don't know if you can roll back.



Enjoy,
Paul

Worth checking this with Davis themselves since your firmware is very old.

or pm John (aka prodata) he may know.

Thanks Simon
I'm in two minds to be honest so will ]probably take your advice. At the moment it is working and I am satisfied with the data, so it could be a case of if its not broke, don't fix it.

If you are happy with the status quo then always best to leave it as is. Don't be tempted by very minor feature changes. F/W upgrades usually do work OK, but if something serious goes wrong with the update attempt then resurrecting the console can be a total PITA.
