5.1 Firmware Updating
Ludlum provides free firmware and program configuration file uploads
directly from its Ludlum website. This page will offer Dimension operating
system updates and instrument configuration updates on an instrument-by-
instrument basis. Each update includes notes describing the changes to assist
you in deciding whether or not to update your instrument(s).
Files can be retrieved easily by simply clicking on the appropriate link on the
Dimension webpage and downloading it to your computer or USB thumb
drive on your computer. Once the files are loaded onto your thumb drive,
insert it into the instrument while in the shut-off (power-off) condition.
Once the USB is inserted, turn on the instrument, and the instrument boot
loader will automatically retrieve the new files.
