FPGA Code Compatibility
One of the main reasons that the instrument application software must be the same version on all
disk drives used in a particular instrument, in addition to factory calibration data compatibility
issues, is that there is FPGA program code on multiple assemblies inside the instrument that must
be compatible with the version of instrument software being used. The only way to ensure
compatibility for all disk drives is to use the same instrument application software on all drives.
