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.
