Agilent Module Firmware Upgrade Procedure
Agilent module firmware is upgraded via GPIB or a serial null-modem
cable.
You require a PC running MS Windows 95 or NT 4.0 or higher. To
update via GPIB the PC must be fitted with a suitable interface card.
Alternatively, a serial null-modem cable is required, such as is
supplied with your Agilent 8163A/B mainframe.
You also require the module update program, which is supplied both
on the Support CD-ROM and as a web download. Copy
Module_Update.exe to a directory on your PC’s hard drive, then
execute Module_Update.exe to install the module update program.
NOTE The readme.htm file associated with the module_update program
contains
• Notification of prerequisites,
• Notification of known issues,
as well as detailed instructions for use.
Be sure to study this file before attempting to use the module update
software.
NOTE The floppy update procedure for the Agilent 81480A and
81640A/42A/80A/82A Tunable Laser Modules is no longer
suppported. Please update your modules via GPIB or a null-modem
serial cable as described above.
