Installing or Upgrading the Applications

Installing or Upgrading the Applications

All the necessary applications have been preinstalled and configured at the
factory. However, you may have to upgrade some applications when new
versions become available or to reinstall them.

From the DVD that came with your unit, you can create an installation USB
key in case you ever need to reinstall the MAX-700 software (the software
that comes with your unit) and the instrument applications as well as
Update Manager. All the necessary files will be copied to the USB key.

When updates are available for an application, you will need to download
them from Internet, either directly on your unit or on a computer. In the
latter case, you will need to transfer the update files to your unit
(see Managing Data on page 255). The update files must be copied to the
location that has been specified for the deployment packages in Update
Manager.

If you ever need to reinstall Update Manager on your unit, ensure
that:

The installation files for Update Manager remain on your unit.
Otherwise, it will not be possible to install new versions of this
application later.

You choose the folder containing the Update Manager
installation files carefully. If you move or rename this folder, you
will have to manually browse for the modified folder when you
want to install new versions of this application.
