The term Update is solely used for a file provided by Thermo Fisher Scientific to upgrade or
update the RSH Firmware version.
The difference between the Restore and Update functions is that the Restore process always
originates from a known backup file from the same TriPlus RSH. This means that the
Configuration Software and the key encryption will match.
The Update function is defined as a process to upgrade the entire RSH Firmware, or parts of
it.
To correctly upgrade the software, you must have a fully compatible software package. Fully
compatible means that the device firmware matches the Application and the Operating
System (OS).
Thermo Fisher Scientific provides one file with the extension *.cont. Different software
packages (*.pack) can be integrated, these individual packages are matched for compatibility.
