Firmware Updates
Using the LAN/RS-232 Firmware Update Tool
Detailed information about the LAN/RS- 232 Update Tool 2.10 or above can be
found within the documentation of this tool provided via the Agilent web at
http://www.agilent.com/en-us/firmwareDownload?whid=69761
Use one of the following procedures:
• “Downgrade from B.xx to A.05.1x” on page 146
• “Upgrade from A.05.1x to B.xx” on page 147
• “Upgrade from A.05.11 to A.05.1x” on page 148
Use the latest LAN/RS-232 Update Tool 2.10 only
If the Instant Pilot is in “Backward compatible mode ON”, see “With 3rd Party
Control Software” on page 106, it will not be seen by the Firmware Update tool.
For updating firmware reconfigure the Instant Pilot to “Backward compatible
mode OFF”.
If your Agilent 1100/1200 system runs on firmware A.05.xx, the Instant Pilot is
not recognized by the LAN/RS-232 Update Tool 2.10. In this case either one of
the modules or the complete system must be upgraded to A.06.xx/B.0x.xx
Before you downgrade the Instant Pilot to revision A.05.15, upgrade the Instant
Pilot to the latest B.xx.xx firmware revision. This will assure that the later upgrade
to B.xx.xx works smoothly.
The preferred way of updating the Instant Pilot firmware should be the use of a
USB Flash Drive. This is much faster than the use of the LAN/RS-232 Update
Tool 2.10 (4 minutes vs. 10 minutes via LAN vs. 70 minutes via RS-232).
