Performing a LAN update
The software update requires a 9100 software update file, which is an
executable file running on a Windows PC that also includes the soft-
ware update for your 9102 Handheld Spectrum Analyzer. Such a file
can be downloaded from Aeroflex’s website, e.g. the file
9100Setup_4_50.exe.
Take the following steps to perform a LAN update of the instrument’s
software via the Setup Application Software menu:
1 Connect the 9102 to an external power supply.
2 Connect the 9102 to the PC. See section “Connecting the 9102
Handheld Spectrum Analyzer” on page 14 for further details.
3 Switch on the 9102. In order to enter the Setup Application Soft-
ware menu press the numeric key 0 when the input request

cation Software menu is displayed.

Host IP and 2 to change the Target IP. See section “Determining the
Host IP address” on page 222 for information on determining the
Host PC’s IP address.

ment start the installation program on your PC. This will open the
Update window (see “Performing a serial update” on page 219).
