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.
