b) Firmware Upgrade

After initial driver installation or an oscilloscope firmware upgrade, it may be

necessary to upgrade the dongle firmware on the USB2-GPIB. A pop up window

will appear to indicate incompatibility and instruct you to remove the device.

Follow these steps to upgrade the dongle firmware:

1. Download USB2-GPIB dongle firmware upgrade from teledynelecroy.com.

Extract this archive to a local folder of the controller computer

(e.g., C:\Temp).

2 Before reconnecting the USB2-GPIB device, open the Windows Device

Manager utility on your computer. Go to the Windows Start Menu and

choose Control Panel > System > Device Manager.

3.

While pressing the dongle button underneath the case, plug the

USB2-GPIB dongle into the computer USB port. The dongle should show up

as AT32UC3A in the Windows Device Manager list of devices.

4. Install the Atmel USB DFU driver:

Right click on AT32UC3A in the Device Manager and choose

“Update Driver Software.”

If using Windows 7, choose “Browse my computer for driver software”,

if using Windows XP, choose “Install from a list or specific location

(Advanced).”

Browse to the “Atmel_DFU_USB_Driver” folder of the extracted

download archive.

The dongle should now show up as AT32UC3A3 under the “Atmel USB

Devices” folder of the Windows Device Manager list of devices.

5. Double-click the “DFU_UpgradeDongleFW.bat” file in the driver folder, which

will upgrade the dongle with the latest firmware. The dongle firmware

upgrade is successful if the red LED is on.
