Updating Firmware
Firmware is the program that runs on the SC-1’s microprocessor to control how it operates.
Periodically Velocitek releases new versions of firmware to add functionality to the SC-1. These
updates are designed to either improve your device's performance or to tailor its functionality towards a
specialized application. To perform firmware updates you must connect your SC-1 to a PC with
Velocitek Software Package. To switch from Basic to Full firmware a firmware update is required.
PC Software Packages
There are two PC software packages available from Velocitek. To download GPS data, configure device
settings and update firmware you must install a Velocitek software package and connect the SC-1 to a
PC. To find out more on PC software packages, please visit the following websites and refer to the
corresponding manuals.
Control Center
Control Center allows the user to download GPS data, customize device functionality and perform
firmware updates on the GPS devices. The software is compatible with the S10, SC-1 and SpeedPuck.
GPS Action Replay, a GPS data replay software, is also bundled with the software which can be launched
to replay your sessions.
The Control Center has all the basic features required to deal with a single Velocitek device. If you
organize weekly races with multiple Velocitek devices, we strongly recommend trying out SpeedPlay
which was designed to facilitate GPS data download from multiple devices.

SpeedPlay
Our customers told us that they love watching GPS replays of their races... but they hate the hassle of
downloading GPS data from a bunch of GPS devices one by one and then spending hours fiddling around
trying to format the data into a coherent race replay.
Velocitek SpeedPlay is our response. This software is designed from the ground-up to make the whole
process of downloading data from a group of GPS devices, formatting the data into a race replay and
then watching the replay as fast and pain free as possible.
