4.5 Firmware Upgrading with EC-Lab

software
When the user receives a new unit from the factory, the software and firmware (in the
instrument) are installed and upgraded. The instrument is ready for use. It does not need to be
upgraded. However, when a new EC-Lab

version is released (with new protocols or
improvements) the firmware has to be updated and installed by the user.
4.6 Firmware Downgrading with EC-Lab

software
It is possible to downgrade the firmware of the instrument in an advanced tool available in EC-
Lab

. This procedure should only be done by an advanced user and in very special cases.
Please contact technical support for assistance.
WARNING:

If the user downgrades the firmware of the instrument, corresponding version of EC-
Lab

must be used. For example, if the firmware of the instrument is the V10.20, the
user must control the instrument with EC-Lab

V10.20.

Make sure that the older version supports the particular instrument.
