4.19 Software and methods update
The software and method update is used to continuously update your
photometer.
Note
Only users of the user group, Administrator are allowed to carry out a
software and method update.
The update comprises
z the newest firmware (meter software)
z new or changed method data
Note
User-defined data (such as settings, user-defined methods or measured
data) are not changed by a software and methods update.
The current software version is available on the Internet under http://
www.WTW.com.
The software can be transmitted to the photometer as follows:
z by means of a USB memory device as a temporary storage
(section 4.19.1).
z by means of a USB connection between a PC and the photometer
(section 4.19.2).
4.19.1 Update by means of a USB memory device
Store the new software required for the update on the USB memory device
and connect it to the photometer.
Execution
1 Connect the USB memory device
to the PC.
2 Unpack the contents of the
downloaded exe or zip file with the
complete folder structure in the
main directory (top level) of the
USB memory device.
