Software / Flash Upload
For instruments with software versions greater than
3.40, the instrument software in the PhD Ultra may
be updated at any time. New software will be
available through the biosystems website at
http://www.biosystems.com
.
Once the new software is downloaded from the
Internet, it must then be uploaded into the
instrument through the PhD Ultra Datadock.
Note: Instruments with software prior to version
3.40 must be returned to Biosystems for the
software upgrade. Once the instrument is
updated with a version greater than version
3.39, it may then be updated as discussed
below.
CAUTION

will be wiped clean when the new software is
uploaded. Be sure to download any instrument
data that you may need in the future prior to
uploading the new flash.
