V-2000 New Method Update
The CHEMetrics V-2000 Multi-Analyte Photometer contains internal calibration software for use with instrumental test kits in the CHEMetrics range. As existing calibrations are updated or new instrumental test kits become available, a new Method Revision is released by CHEMetrics and is posted on this page. A simple upload procedure allows analysts to automatically upgrade their V-2000 from their PC to the latest version.Galgo are also offering a free upgrade service, performing this update for you and returning your unit within 3-5 working days after receipt. All newly purchased V-2000s come as standard with the latest Method Revision.
The V-2000's method revision number is displayed briefly on power up. The current method revision number is 20.0.
Updating the method revision will not overwrite any user-generated custom methods you may have created nor remove any discontinued programs. New V-2000s supplied with Method Revision 20.0 will not include the discontinued calibration programs.
What's New In Method Revision 20.0?
The latest V-2000 Method Revision is 20.0, released on 9 September 2022, and impacts the following test kit calibrations.

Hardware Requirements
- PC with Windows XP, Vista, 7, or 10 with administrator rights.
- RS-232 interface cable supplied with the V-2000, including serial adapter.
- Optional A-0307 USB cable adapter for computers without an RS-232 or serial port.
The A-0307 adapter (pictured left) includes a driver installation CD which will allow your USB port to recognise the cable - install this prior to beginning the V-3000 upgrade procedure. Whichever port you are using to plug the V-2000 cable into, we suggest you check which COM Port it is assigned under Control Panel. Hardware requirements and connectivity is discussed in Chapter 5 (p.12-14) of the V-2000 Operator's Manual.
Method Update Procedure
The method update procedure is described in Section 5-3 (p.14) of the V-2000 Operator’s Manual, below.
