Version 2.1.2

Steps to install the update:

  1. Make sure the device is powered on and fully initialized. The device must not be analyzing
    samples, as the update will cancel the analysis!

  2. Download the file below and copy it onto a USB stick formatted as FAT32, exFAT, or NTFS: 

    Testo_usb_update_payload.20261014.tar.gz.enc

  3. Safely eject the USB stick from your computer to ensure the file is copied without errors.

  4. With the device in Idle state, insert the USB stick into the front USB port. Wait for update screen
    to appear, which will take up to 1 Minute. The screen shows "Update ready to install" and counts
    down 30 seconds before the update starts.

    Note: To cancel the update, remove the USB stick while the countdown is running. Nothing on the device is
    changed: the screen shows "Update cancelled" and returns to the main screen after 10 seconds.

  5. When the countdown ends, the update installs. The screen shows "Updating the device" with the
    current step and a progress bar.

    Note: Do not remove the USB stick or power off the device until "Update installed" appears.
    Interrupting the update may leave the device in an unusable state.

    If the update does not complete:
