Firmware Update

When an instrument is upgraded from version 6 to version 7 software, or when a new version of version 7
is installed, a firmware update may be required. If the firmware version on the instrument is not
compatible with the version of software, the instrument will not function properly.
GIM automatically determines if the software and firmware are compatible. The status of compatibility is
shown in the Device Info area.
