Software Upgrade
New software releases are typically distributed via our web page or on USB sticks and are installed as

1. IMPORTANT: Log on with administrator rights for this upgrade session.
2. Disconnect any NucleoCounter® NC-3000™ instrument connected to the PC.
3. Insert the USB stick holding the software upgrade or download and unpack the software upgrade.
4. Continue as described in the previous section ‘Installing the NucleoView NC-3000™ Software and
NucleoCounter® NC-3000™ Instrument’ and the NucleoView NC-3000™ Install Wizard will now
guide you through the remaining part of the upgrade.
Installing a new NucleoCounter® Instrument
To install one or more new NucleoCounter® NC-3000™ instruments, use the USB stick holding the
appropriate NucleoView NC-3000™ software release and follow the procedure in the previous section
describing installation of the software. The NucleoView NC-3000™ Install Wizard will guide you through the
remaining part of the upgrade. While following this procedure, you will be given the option to specify which
NucleoCounter® NC-3000™ devices you want installed (identified by their serial numbers). Be sure to check
the boxes which specify the new serial number(s) you want installed.
You will also be given the option to browse for and select instrument data stored elsewhere.
IMPORTANT: You may install multiple instruments on the same PC, but be aware that NucleoView NC-
3000™ is only able to operate one instrument at the time. You must never try to operate with more than
one instrument as behavior may not be correct.
Uninstall NucleoView™ Software
Either uninstall via Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel, or run the un-installer via the ChemoMetec
->NucleoView NC-3000->Uninstall NucleoView NC-3000 in the Start Menu. This may be required if you wish
to downgrade to an earlier version of NucleoView NC-3000™.
Validation with IQ, OQ and PQ protocols
After installation/upgrade of the NucleoView NC-3000™ software and/or NucleoCounter® NC-3000™
instrument and after transportation of the NucleoCounter® NC-3000™ instrument to a new location, it is
recommended that you perform validation by running the Installation Qualification (IQ Test), Operation
Qualification (OQ Test) and Performance Qualification (PQ Test) protocols as described below.
