Quick answer
For Verifire HDX systems, choose the System Controller Upgrade for Verifire HDX (product 1713587). For Verifire HD or DynaFiz systems, choose the System Controller Upgrade for Verifire HD (product 1713585). Both upgrades require professional installation by a Zygo Field Service Engineer.
What the upgrades include
Both controller upgrades deliver the same core hardware: a new 64-bit controller with RAID, the latest version of Mx software, a 27-inch monitor, and Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC 2024. The key difference is compatibility: the HDX upgrade is designed for Verifire HDX and Verifire MST HDX systems, while the HD upgrade is for Verifire HD, DynaFiz, and Verifire MST HD systems.
Because the controller hardware and software are identical, your choice depends entirely on which interferometer model you own. Installing the wrong upgrade can lead to compatibility issues, so verify your system model before ordering.
Installation requirements
Both upgrades require a Zygo Field Service Engineer to set up and configure the system. The catalog specifies a minimum of 4 hours of labor for each upgrade. This professional installation ensures the controller is properly integrated with your interferometer and that the software is configured correctly.
Factor in the labor cost and scheduling when planning your upgrade. The labor is not included in the product price, so your total cost will be higher than the listed price.
Trade-offs to consider
- Compatibility: Choose the upgrade that matches your interferometer model: HDX upgrade for Verifire HDX/MST HDX, HD upgrade for Verifire HD/DynaFiz/MST HD. Using the wrong upgrade risks compatibility issues. Double-check your system model before ordering.
- Hardware and software: Both upgrades include identical hardware and software: 64-bit controller with RAID, latest Mx, 27-inch monitor, Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC 2024. No performance difference between the two.
- Installation: Both upgrades require a Zygo Field Service Engineer and a minimum of 4 hours labor. Professional installation is mandatory for proper setup and configuration. Plan for additional labor costs and scheduling.
