Will a firmware upgrade solve ABL pairing problem ?
Greetings folks
Can anyone advise with the pairing problem of an ATN ABL1000 to the ATN X-Sight 4k PRO currently running 451 firmware.
Will an upgrade to the latest 483 solve the issue do we know ?
I've asked ATN Europe in email but not optimistic of a reply.
I've also spent all afternoon getting Windows 10 to run in a virtual machine on VirtualBox but for some reason the Win10 firmware flashing program cannot see the X-Sight in the USB port even though it can see USB sticks. So no luck thus far getting the Win10 ATN firmware update utility running anyway.
But before I ask others to use their Win10 boxes I'm curious if it will solve the pairing problem as nothing seems to work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I had the same issues, because I also have to use a Windows VM. But there is a mode in Virtualbox where you can passthrough a USB device connected to the host. I always instal the Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack which you can get from the download page. This will make it possible to have better USB device support inside the VM. Then I download a Windows 11 development VM from Microsoft. There you can find prepared Virtualbox images. Unzip the image and doubleclick the OVA file. This will import the VM. But you will need a lot of free space on your device... around 50GB Before your start the VM open the Settings. Under USB you can find an option to enable USB 3.0 (xHCI) Controller, which I have enabled. If you plug the scope in you should see an Amba 12 USB device, which is your scope. To add it permanently, open the settings and add the device via "add a new usb filter" Button. During the update process it will change to Ambrella USB generic class, also add this to your filter. Pin these USB devices in the Virtual Machine settings to the VM and it will work. There are plenty of videos on youtube how to do this. Hope this will give you an idea and help a bit.

Thanks very much Gerhard. I borrowed a Win10 laptop for the firmware update and it all worked ok.
I also managed to pair the ABL so all is well with using that - marvellous facility.
Appreciate your effort to help.
All the best.
