6.3.4 Updating the software
Software updates from INFICON are installed with the aid of a USB flash drive. The
update function of the device can be found under "Functions > Data > Update".
An update is possible,
• if one or several updates are available on the USB flash drive, but only one update
per type at most (control unit, MSB box, I/O module),
• if these parts are also connected free of disturbances and have an update
function.
The corresponding buttons in the update menu such as "Control Unit", "MSB Box",
and "I/O Module" are active and can be activated individually.
