We recommend having the latest TAC7 Firmware version installed before using PANTORA. Firmware upgrades are done with the TAC7 Diagnostics tool. Both firmware and diagnostics tool can be downloaded here here.
To use PANTORA’s connectivity feature, it is recommended to update the respective device driver and Firmware to the latest version. Please find the corresponding downloads at Ci7XX0, MetaVue, and MA-T12.
Please note that for using the MA-T12 in PantoraConnect, it is necessary to upgrade the firmware to v2.52 or higher to access performance improvements.
