Updating the Firmware
Agilent 81133A/81134A Pulse Generator User’s Guide, August 2002 85
Updating the Firmware
Firmware updates of the instrument can be done by using one of the
supported programming interfaces.
Updates and patches are available on the Agilent Web at:
http://www.agilent.com/find/pulse_generator
They are applied by downloading the update/patch from the web
(single executable) and running it.
The connection path to the instrument is queried for the time the
executable is run. A warning is issued if a new firmware revision
would be overwritten by an older one. Nevertheless, this down-grade
can be forced.
Prerequisites
The instrument must be connected to a PC through one of the
supported remote programming interfaces. The operating system
running on the PC must be either Windows 98, Windows NT or
Windows 2000.
An upgrade/patch always includes all parts of the software (that is
firmware and BIOS).
For more information, please refer to the Programming Guide
delivered on the product CD.
