the firmware on your instrument must be upgraded:
1. Power on the instrument.
2. Verify the current software version installed on the instrument:
a. Touch the Settings icon to open the Settings menu.
b. Touch Utilities icon to open the Utilities submenu.
c. Touch Version to open the Version display.
d. In the Software section, make a note of the version number installed on
the instrument.

as PRISM) and filter by software and software type to locate the
software-upgrade package for the instrument.
c. Note the latest version number of the software-upgrade package(s).

4. If the latest firmware version at the Web site is newer than the version on your
instrument, you should upgrade the firmware.
5. Download the latest version to your PC.
6. After the firmware package is downloaded, click the self-extracting archive to
extract the upgrade file(s) into the directory of your choice. The upgrade file
will have a .bin file extension and there may also be a readme.txt file.
