Further software update information
Software updates can be supplied electronically, via email or by download. Software updates are named according to their date of release.
For instance VDM1112A.XUF can be interpreted as VD=Vacuum Dryer, M=2013 (L=2012), 11=November, 12=March 12th, A=the first revision
for that day. During the update process detailed above, new software found on the USB flash drive is first copied to an internally mounted SD
card. From the SD card, the software is then loaded into the VBD. If there is ever a problem with the VBD and the USB port cannot be used
or the VBD software is corrupted and cannot load new software through the menu, new software can be acquired from Maguire and renamed
UPDTFILE.BIN. This renamed software can be loaded onto the internal SD card and re-inserted within the VBD. When the VBD is turned on,
this UPDTFILE.BIN file will be automatically loaded into the VBD, restoring the software.
