improvements or light fixture updates. A link to these update is posted on the Cognito
product page on the Pathway Connectivity website (www.pathwayconnect.com) or on

file may be emailed directly to you.
Software update files and fixture update files will have a filename ending in .Cogupd.
The latest fixture library is automatically applied whenever a software update is installed.
