USB MEMORY STICK 1GB (06584225001)
Introduction
This procedure is used to delete the User Software from the instrument (deleting the flash
memory) followed by reinstalling the User Software.
The Operating System Software is remaining and is not deleted.
It is mainly used in case of a software booting problem (blank, blue screen). In such a case
it is not possible to reach “Utilities/Tools 2/SW Update” to perform a software reload.

parameter settings, which may exist on the instrument. Therefore please store the user

the User Software.
