Instrument Operating System
Windows Security
Windows Security
Microsoft recommends the following to ensure the instrument's Windows
operating system is protected:
—Use an internet firewall.
— Get the latest critical Windows updates.
— Use up-to-date antivirus software.
Windows Firewall
The instrument is shipped with the Windows Firewall enabled. You can verify
the status of Windows Firewall by going to the Control Panel and clicking on
System and Security, Windows Firewall.
Windows Firewall Exceptions for programs and ports have been added to allow
proper operation of the instrument over a network. Modifying these settings
may cause the instrument to not operate properly.
Automatic Updates
Microsoft recommends that you always get the latest critical Windows updates
to ensure that the instrument's Windows operating system is protected. If the
instrument has internet access, the instrument default is set to automatically
check for critical Windows Updates and notify you.
You can change the configuration of the Microsoft Automatic Updates. You can
choose not to have automatic updates. However, if you do this then you should
manually update Windows periodically.
Be aware that downloading and installing Windows Updates can be network and CPU usage
intensive (impacting the instrument performance), and some Windows Updates automatically
reboot the instrument. It is recommended that Windows Updates be performed when the
instrument is not in normal use.
