The first step for upgrading is to download the three files needed to perform the upgrade. Those files can be found by clicking the link here. You will need to download these individually. GQC6 is the file that contains the driver to let the scanner connect to your computer and will be used to calibrate the scanner. sc6531_RTC_HG60S_CTD366_20220813.pac is the file that contains the actual upgrade for the scanner.
