The Viewer Software displays both the base firmware and software version numbers. The
base firmware defines the board type and is that part of the program code (stored on the
electronics board in the lens) which is fully protected and cannot be erased or altered when a
new program is uploaded. New firmware is occasional offered by the manufacturer to update
data processing facilities in the lens. Uploading new firmware should only be conducted by
authorized lens service providers using Cooke software (Program Uploader). This software
ensures updates are correctly managed and verified. Software allows earlier versions of the
firmware to be uploaded if circumstances require a previous version.
