7.5 Software Upgrade
Instrument operating software has been loaded into the Model 4500B at the factory. This consists
of the Windows® XP Operating System and the Boonton Electronics Model 4500B Application
Software. The Application Software will be updated from time to time to correct errors and add
new features. Users can upgrade their software by downloading a special Software Upgrade
package from the Boonton Electronics webpage, www.boonton.com. Copy the upgrade file(s) into
a USB drive, and plug the drive into one of the instrument‘s USB ports (front or rear). Follow the
instructions included in the Upgrade package.
After loading updated software, the instrument may or may not report an AutoCal error. To clear
the error, for each installed channel, connect a sensor to the channel and calibrator and initiate
AutoCal, as instructed in Subsection 4.1 Calibration.
If an error other than AutoCal error exists, clear it by pressing the CLR key and repeat the AutoCal
procedure.
Caution
When loading new software into the Model 4500B, some or all stored instrument configurations
and preset operating selections may be lost. Read the Upgrade Instructions carefully to determine
which files may be affected.
