In the incubation monitoring systems CM30 and CM20, when performing colony count and size analysis, the number of colonies and colony size displayed in the "Colony Count Size Graph" in the monitoring results differ from the actual measured values.
These problems can be corrected by applying "CM20 Update Software Version 1.2.7" and "CM30 Update Software Version 2.2.2".

However, the above update software does not automatically recalculate project data that has already been analyzed, so it is necessary to use this batch file.
By using this batch file, the colony counts and sizes of the past project data will be corrected at once, and the correct analysis results will be displayed thereafter.

*Please refer to the release notes for changes due to the version upgrade.
