Replacing the Detector’s Firmware
The installation of older firmware might be necessary:
• to keep all systems on the same (validated) revision, or
• if third part control software requires a special version.
To upgrade/downgrade the detector’s firmware the following steps have to be
performed:
1 Download the module’s firmware, the LAN/RS-232 FW Update Tool Version
2.00 or above and the documentation from the Agilent web
http://www.chem.agilent.com/scripts/cag_firmware.asp.
2 Load the firmware into the detector as described in the documentation.
3 If the detector main board was replaced, perform a “Wavelength
Verification and Recalibration” as described in the Service Manual to add
the recalibration parameters into the board’s memory.
When required If new version solves problems of currently installed version or after exchange
of the detector main board (DADM or MWDM) the version on board is older
than previous installed one.
Tools required LAN/RS-232 Firmware Update Tool
Parts required Firmware, tools and documentation from Agilent web site
Preparations Read update documentation provided with the Firmware Update Tool.
NOTE
The initial firmware revision of the G1315C DAD and the G1365C MWD is B.01.01 (main and
resident). No further downgrade is possible.
NOTE
When using the G1315C DAD and the G1365C MWD in an 1100 system, all other 1100
modules must be upgraded to firmware revision 6.x or above (main and resident).
Otherwise the communication will not work.
