Firmware Revision Date
When the analyzer is first turned on, a display appears that contains
the copyright date and firmware revision date. (If the analyzer has
either Option 041, IB and parallel I/O, or Option 043, RS-232 and
parallel I/O, the display will also contain the entries shown on the first
line of the example below.)
The version of firmware installed in the analyzer is identified by the
year, month, and day in the following format.

Whenever you contact Agilent Technologies about your analyzer, be
sure to provide the firmware date along with the complete serial
number and option designation. This will ensure that you obtain
accurate service information.
Firmware Upgrade Kit Ordering Information
There are occasions when the factory revises the analyzer firmware to
correct defects or make performance improvements. When a firmware
revision is needed, a service note is distributed by the factory to all
Agilent Technologies service centers. The service note identifies, by
serial-number prefix, the analyzers that require the latest firmware
upgrade kit.
If your analyzer requires a firmware upgrade kit, it can be obtained by
ordering as described in Chapter 12, “Replaceable Parts.”Instructions
for the replacement of the firmware ROMs is located under “A16
Processor/Video Board Firmware ROM” in Chapter 7, “Replacing Major
Assemblies,” of this guide.
