EC-Lab Technical Notes 04: VMP2, VMP or MPG firmware upgrading

Latest updated: August 16, 2021

Introduction

When the user receives a new instrument from the BioLogic factory, the firmware (in the instrument) has already been installed and is up-to-date. The instrument is ready for use. It does not need to be upgraded. However, new EC-Lab® versions (with new protocols or improvements) are regularly created and can be downloaded from this web site and installed by the user. Since V8.00, the firmware is automatically upgraded (if necessary) when EC-Lab® starts. For older firmware versions, one must use “upgrade the firmware with v8.00 with the serial connection” first.
