Features
Low sensitivity Cubs can be upgraded automatically via an internet connection. The customer can purchase
an upgrade from his local distributor or supplier. Once the upgrade has been purchased the instrument must
be connected to a computer running the CubPC software. The Cub instrument will then be automatically
upgraded, via the internet connection.
