Firmware
Installation
The Luminex 100 analyzer, the Luminex XYP instrument, and the
Luminex SD system use firmware to perform internal control
functions. Although seldom required, firmware updates may become
available to enhance functionality. If you are directed to update the
firmware due to an upgrade kit or other enhancement, follow the
appropriate procedure in this section. There is a separate section for
the Luminex 100 analyzer, Luminex XYP instrument, and the
Luminex SD system. Review the following “Firmware Upgrade
Cable Configurations” section, then continue with the desired
firmware upgrade section.
Firmware Upgrade Cable
Configurations
• Upgrading a Luminex 100 Version 1.7 system—If you are
upgrading your firmware from a system previously using the
Luminex 100 Version 1.7 software (with Windows 98 or 2000):
• Luminex SD system—If you have the optional Luminex SD
system, remove the serial interface cable between the Luminex
XYP and the Luminex 100 analyzer, then attach it to the
Luminex SD system to perform the firmware upgrade. After
completing the SD firmware upgrade, reattach the serial cable
to the back of the XYP.Then, replace the serial interface cable
with the SD interface cable supplied in the upgrade kit. If you
are upgrading the firmware for more than one component (for
instance, the SD and the XYP), you must upgrade the SD
system first.
• Luminex 100 analyzer cable—Use the existing serial interface
cable between the PC and Luminex 100 analyzer to perform
the firmware upgrade. Then, replace the serial interface cable
with the USB interface cable supplied in the upgrade kit.
• Luminex XYP instrument—Continue to use the serial
interface cable between the PC and Luminex XYP.
• Upgrading a Luminex 100 IS Version 2.1/2.2 system—If you
are upgrading a Luminex 100 IS Version 2.1 or 2.2 system:
• Luminex SD system—Remove the serial interface cable
between the Luminex XYP and the Luminex 100 analyzer,
then attach it to the Luminex SD system to perform the
firmware upgrade. After completing the SD firmware upgrade,
reattach the serial cable to the back of the XYP.Then, replace
the serial interface cable with the SD interface cable (the
shorter cable) supplied in the upgrade kit. If you are upgrading
the firmware for more than one component (for instance, the
SD and the XYP), you must upgrade the SD system first.
• Luminex 100 analyzer cable—Continue to use the existing
USB interface cable between the PC and Luminex 100
analyzer.
