The 3 Series MDO products offer a number of ways to add functionality after the initial purchase. Listed below are the various product upgrades available and the method of upgrade used for each product.

Post-purchase instrument options

The following products are sold as stand-alone products and can be purchased at any time to add functionality to a 3 Series MDO product. Software option key products require that the instrument model and serial number be provided at the time of purchase. The software option key is specific to the model and serial number combination. One-time, permanent upgrade to any model enabled through software option key.
