16.5 Firmware Update
The manufacturer periodically releases firmware updates of the instrument in order to correct unavoidable
mistakes or improve the instrument performance or add new functions.
This update can be performed by the user by following the simple instructions below.
WARNING:
Since the firmware update could imply a different organization of the data stored in the instrument
memory, maintaining the existing analysis data in the instrument is not guaranteed. Therefore it is
always mandatory to make the transfer of the analysis from the instrument to the PC prior to the firmware
update procedure.
Moreover, for the same reasons, it is absolutely mandatory that the management software tool installed
on the PC is updated to a version compatible with the firmware version installed on the instrument.
