Automatic Software and Instrument Updates
Software and instruments can be automatically updated using CFX Manager™ software.
The availability of updates can be determined by three methods:
1. The software automatically checks for updates each time CFX Manager software is
started and whenever a new instrument is connected to the computer while the software
is running.
2. A message indicating updates are available will be displayed at the bottom of the main
CFX Manager software window. When this message is clicked, the Updates window will
appear.
3. Selecting Help > Check For Updates.
When updates are available, the Updates window allows the following options:
• If only a software update is available, select Update.
• If both software and instrument updates are available, by default, both of these
updates will be checked. Updating the software requires an instrument update for
any connected instruments to ensure proper communication.
• Instruments can be updated without updating the software by unchecking the
software update box.
