Difference between an update and an upgrade

Prev Next

A software update is a minor release of device software. A device refers to a Sensor. An upgrade indicates a major release and new feature set. These processes are identical, and thus this section makes references to update and upgrade in an interchangeable manner.

Note

Any change to device software, whether an update or upgrade, requires you to do a full reboot of the device.
