Issue:
Firmware is updated or downgraded when new features are added, or to fix some system bugs. It also solves compatibility issues when a new module is added to an existing system or a new hardware. Some regulatory requirements can also trigger a firmware upgrade or downgrades.
This procedure requires the use of Agilent Lab Advisor Software.
Resolution:
Platforms and Firmware sets
Firmware differs depending on the function and complexity of the mainboard contained in each module in your LC stack. For example, an oven is a hosted module. That's why it doesn't include any LAN or USB ports. Modules that do not contain any LAN port rely on CAN inter-module communication for Firmware changes.
Agilent always recommends using the latest module firmware revision of a firmware set in order to avoid interoperability issues.
Always use latest firmware from the same set as it was only tested within a set. Not complying with this rule can generate problems or may not work at all.
A module with firmware C, must be in sync with a module with B or D firmware.
Download the firmware from Agilent.com Firmware download section
Firmware Update Procedure
