Downloading and Installing the Instrument Firmware
Once the utility is saved, return to the Web page and click on:
Agilent Firmware Revision <revision number>
Save the firmware file to a directory on your PC (e.g. Temp). Note the
directory location as you will need to specify the path to the firmware file
when you run the firmware update utility.
When updating from the LAN interface, the update utility requires you to
specify the instrument host name or IP address. Before running the utility,
test the communication path to the instrument(s) using Agilent Connection
Expert. Open Agilent Connection Expert and refresh the LAN and GPIB (if
present) interfaces by clicking ‘Refresh All’ (Figure 2- 10). A “
” in a green
circle next to the instrument indicates communication with the instrument
on that interface. Note the host names or IP addresses (assuming an
update over the LAN interface) of the instruments to receive firmware
updates.
1. From the directory where the update utility was installed, start the utility by selecting
FirmwareUpdateUtility.exe.
