Model 430 Firmware Upgrade via Flash Card Reader

A.14 Upgrading the Model 430 Firmware via Flash Card Reader

Note

These instructions are intended primarily for a Model 430 being

upgraded from Version 1.59 or earlier. If the current version is v1.60

or later, upgrade should be performed via FTP according to

section A.13 on page 172.

Note

These instructions apply specifically to the Windows XP

operating system. For other operating systems, please make

adjustments as appropriate.

This is a one-time only procedure - future upgrades will be handled via the

Ethernet communications connection on the rear panel of the instrument.

An operating system file on the Compact Flash (CF) card mounted inside

the Model 430 must be updated to enable the new web server

functionality. The file is not accessible via FTP which means the Model

430 cover must be removed, the CF card removed, and the files updated

using a CF card reader. Once this upgrade is completed, the CF card

should not have to be removed in order to perform future upgrades.
