6.13 Remote updates
The 5000 range of analysers (GA5000, GEM5000 and BIOGAS 5000) can be updated to
the latest version of operating software using the free Geotech 5000 updater software.
This allows customers to update their analyser’s operating software at their convenience
rather than waiting to return the analyser for service. The Geotech 5000 updater software
needs to be installed on to a PC by a user with administrator rights, it is then ready to be
used by the end-user. A GFUSB download cable is required along with a PC with access to
a reasonably fast internet connection. This allows the users to check and download the
latest data files from the web.
