Coating Inspection Instruments: Keep a Record of Firmware Changes

Instrument or analysis-software updates can affect settings, outputs or workflows. Preserve enough information to interpret results across a change.

Updated · NANOLAB Knowledge

Practical approach

Record the version and review relevant release information before continuing a comparison. Verify the established method remains appropriate.

A changed default report parameter can make two exported datasets look comparable when they are not.

Decision limits

Do not silently merge results across a changed method without checking the implications.
