Upgrading the instrument 

The instrument can be upgraded from a PC via the RS232 communication port. This enables to 
keep the instrument up to date even if the standards or regulations change.  The upgrade can 
be carried with a help of special upgrading software and the communication cable as shown on 

Figure 7.14

. Please contact your dealer for more information.
