Preliminary

B System Update

System firmware upgrades are available at no charge from the web site

www.raytech.ch

This firmware is downloaded to a Windows based computer and then can be used with an USB
Stick to upgrade the CAPO.

Download the new Firmware (.zip file) onto your USB key on the root directory (Not in a sub-
directory and do not Unzip it).

The CAPO 12 will automatically ask for an update, when the USB Stick is plugged to your
Instrument. For further details please contact our support group.

Check also chapter 8.2.7.1.5 Update on page 60.
