As of December 2009, the most current firmware version file name for
standard speed autosamplers is “ASXpress_1_19” and for high speed
autosamplers is “ASXpress_HS_1_19.
Also note that firmware is not the same for standard and high speed
autosampler models. Be sure to load the correct firmware for your
