Connect your BASE module to your PC. Start the software Vci3floadGui or
Vci4floadGui via Windows Explorer. You will find the software in
C:\Program Files\IXXAT\3.5 or C:\Program Files\HMS\IXXAT VCI 4.0 after
the installation of the QmixElements or Nemesys User Interface software
(see figure below).
The software will show you the detected USB-to-CAN interface. If the software does not detect any USB-to-CAN interface then please try to connect your BASE module to another USB interface of your PC.
You only need to do an update, if you have a V2 device, that means, if you have an USB-to-CAN V2 embedded or an USB-to-CAN V2 compact. If you do not have a V2 device, then you are finished now.
An USB-to-CAN V2 device should appear in the Device field :guinum:`❶` of the Flashloader window.
Click the :guilabel:`>>`` button :guinum:`❷` to select the firmware (e.g. :file:`USB-to-CAN_V2_FW_0_1_6_3_R380.hex`). You will find the latest firmware here:

Attention
Do not interrupt the process while the flash procedure is running!
Now click the :guilabel:`Flash` button to start the update process :guinum:`❹`. Wait for the process to complete and then click :guilabel:`Verify`. If the verification succeeds with an OK message (see Figure below) the update process is complete and your device has been updated successfully.
