Updating NGC Systems

Updating the NGC system is a two-step process:

Updating ChromLab software on the instrument

Updating the firmware on the instrument

Between the software and firmware update the NGC instrument automatically

reboots. The instrument reboots following a successful firmware upgrade as well.

To update the NGC system

1.

On the ChromLab computer, start ChromLab. ChromLab automatically
connects to the instrument it was last connected to before the software update.

2.

A dialog box appears prompting you to update the software on the system.
Click Update System.

Important:

The update process can up to 20 minutes. A progress dialog

box appears on the NGC touch screen with information about the time

remaining for the update. Do not shut down the instrument during the

update process.
