Apply updates
All software on a CID, including the Linux host, the embedded Windows VM, the instrument drivers and add-ons, and OpenLab CDS, is updated through CID Hub. This page is for the lab administrator or IT operator who installs the changes after they have been selected (see Define a software template and Configure software exceptions).
Update or upgrade OpenLab CDS
CID Hub publishes new versions of OpenLab CDS as Agilent releases them. This page is for the lab administrator or IT operator who selects a CDS version for CIDs to install. The selection is made in CID Hub; the installation itself is covered by Apply updates.
Install OS updates
The CID runs two operating systems: Oracle Linux on the host and Windows IoT inside the embedded OpenLab CDS virtual machine (VM). Microsoft and Oracle security patches are published to CID Hub shortly after Microsoft and Oracle release them. This page is for the lab administrator or IT operator who confirms the selected updates and starts the install.
Update drivers and add-ons
Each OpenLab CDS version ships with a set of instrument drivers and add-ons. CID Hub lets a lab administrator or IT operator pin a different version, or add an optional driver or add-on, without changing the CDS version itself. The selection is made in CID Hub; the installation itself is covered by Apply updates.
