- Download MPRF Logger-Host REV (###).hex from the Mesa Laboratories, Inc. DataTrace Website.
- Place the downloaded file in C:\Program Files (x86)\DataTracePro\Upgrade (on 64-bit windows) or C:\Program Files\DataTracePro\Upgrade on 32-bit machines.
- Run DT Pro and click Test and Calibration, then follow instructions in the DT Pro help file for firmware upgrade.
Revision History
MP III Humidity
Revision N – Initial Product Release
Revision P – Addressed a known issue with dual-channel (pressure, humidity and dual-temperature) devices.
Revision Q – Added more dual-channel devices to the firmware for compatibility.
MP III Temperature, Pressure & Humidity
Revision B – Adapts MPIII firmware to work with new MPIII hardware.(1)
Revision C – Fixed battery reset issue resulting in lost header information.(1)
Revision D – Addressed an issue in Rev. C with data logger communication modes which can cause a data logger to stop communicating.(1)
Revision E – Addressed an issue in Rev. D that could sometimes create a corrupt header after a battery change.
Revision F – This change is for internal use only and does not require a field upgrade from Rev. E. Mesa Labs does not recommend returning the data logger to the factory for this firmware revision change.
Revision N – Initial Product Release
Revision P – Addressed a known issue with dual-channel (pressure, humidity and dual-temperature) devices.
Revision Q – Added more dual-channel devices to the firmware for compatibility.
(1) NOTE: Please note that if these firmware revisions are found in your inventory they should be upgraded using the MPIII Firmware Upgrade Utility or sent to Mesa Laboratories, Inc. to be upgraded.

MPRF DataTrace RF Compatible
Revision B – Initial Product Build
Revision C – For internal use only
Revision D – For internal use only
Revision E – For internal use only
Revision F – Addressed the following two issues:
1. A temperature compensation to the oscillator used for radio transmission and reception has been implemented. This compensation adjusts the operating point of the frequency control circuits inside the radio transceiver to keep the operating frequency close to the frequency associated with the selected channel.
2. Improving the immunity of the MPRF loggers to ambient light, especially light with a high IR content.
