6.2 Software Update
It is highly recommended to keep your software updated to the latest version as this ensures
optimal performance of your experimental runs. If your instrument is not on the most current
version, the software will automatically prompt you to update once logged in. This prompt
occurs only when the instrument is connected by Ethernet or Wi-Fi. The update process will
take approximately 30 - 60 minutes.
