Chapter 11 Firmware Update
Notes:
1. Thermo Fisher Scientific supplies two disks with each SapphIRE. One contains the
ThermoConnect software and should be loaded as indicated above. The second contains
instrument specific application files ("applic.txt"), a generic read me file ("readme.txt"),
and a setup file ("setup.txt"). Thermo Fisher Scientific recommends copying these files to
the same directory as the ThermoConnect files. Thermo Fisher Scientific also suggests
copying the full setup from the analyzer to the PC prior to the first use (see the following
procedure). This provides a backup of the general setup, application file, report format,
locations and supplemental locations in one file in case the data needs to be restored at a
later time.
2. Specific software version related files are included with each software release. Read
the "readme.txt" and "changes.txt" files prior to proceeding.
PROCEDURE
Downloading Setup Information
When the new firmware is loaded to the SapphIRe analyzer, all setup and application
information will be erased. This information can be manually re-entered. However, this
process can be time consuming, especially if there are lengthy location lists stored.
Therefore, prior to uploading the new firmware, download the present setup
configuration for later uploading. To download this data:
From the analyzer's Main Menu, press
From the Report/Data Menu, press
different Data Transfer Menus, depending on whether the mode is automatic for use with
ThermoConnect, or manual for use with a third-party communication software.
