Firmware Update
Your Interface 1000 was shipped with the latest version of all its firmware. From time to time, Gamry makes
changes to the instrument's firmware code and a firmware update is required to make use of the new or
improved code.
There are three separate firmware images that can be updated in the field on your Interface 1000. The first is
the Instrument Firmware. This is the program that handles most of the functions of the Interface 1000. The
second is the Communications Firmware. This program handles the USB communications between your
Interface 1000 and the host computer. The third is the PLD firmware, which you should only change if a
Gamry Instruments representative instructs you to.
Initiate the Firmware Update process using the Framework Options, Instrument Manager... command.
Appropriate update files can be obtained from the Gamry Instruments website at www.gamry.com. If you
encounter a problem updating the firmware in your Interface 1000, please contact Gamry Instruments for
assistance.
Caution: Interrupting a firmware update can cause a catastrophic failure of your system.
Do not turn off the Interface 1000, do not unplug the USB cable, and do not stop the operation of the host
computer when the USB LED is a continuous red color.
Do not interrupt a firmware update that is in progress. An incomplete update can render an Interface 1000
inoperable until it is returned to Gamry for reprogramming.
Should the firmware update be interrupted, contact Gamry before starting the return process.
DC Calibration
Calibrate each potentiostat installed in your system. A calibration utility is provided with the Gamry
Framework. Get access to the calibration procedure via the Utility selection on the Framework's Experiment
drop-down menu.
This procedure uses an external resistive dummy cell.
