1. Close all instrument windows.

2. From the iPort menu, select Instrument > Update Firmware. Select TCP/IP or Serial, depending on the connection.

3. In the Update Instrument Firmware Program dialog box, enter the instrument ID (if using serial port) or the TCP/IP address (if using TCP/IP).

4. In the Open File dialog box, select the firmware update file, then click the Open button.

5. File transfer progress can be monitored by looking at the transferred blocks in the lower left corner of the iPort window as well as on the instrument's display.

6. Once the file transfer is complete, the instrument will automatically reboot. There may be some error messages regarding configuration and calibration files that are displayed, this is normal after a firmware update. At this time, the bootloader and application code in each of the low-level processors will be updated to the latest version.

7. To verify all updates were successful, go to the ALARMS menu and make sure the board status alarms at the bottom of the menu all show “OK”. If any board status alarms show “FAIL”, try rebooting the instrument and checking the ALARMS menu again. If they still show “FAIL”, contact technical service.
