25 Updating Cleverscope
This section shows how to update the Cleverscope application using the Cscope Update 46xx download from
the Downloads section on our website and how to update the firmware inside a
Cleverscope Acquisition Unit
.
25.1 Important – Read Before Starting
ROM Loader
The ROM Loader has changed. Please use ONLY ROM Loader 6.0 or later, as included with the update.
This ROM Loader loads each model of the
Cleverscope Acquisition Unit
(CS328 Classic, CS328A USB and
Ethernet varieties). It also uses a unified file that contains all the version information required.
The format of this file is: cscope_fw 64xx 53xx.cmf
Update to Calibration Table
We have updated the calibration tables for Cleverscope application versions 6442 and later.
If you have been using 6441 and earlier, you will need to do a
Once Yearly
calibration followed by
Standard
calibration. For instructions see section 26 Calibrate Cleverscope (versions 6442+.
25.2 Cleverscope Application Software First Time Installation
If you are installing Cleverscope for the first time on a new PC, you can get the latest installation from the
Downloads page of the website at www.cleverscope.com/resources/. Look for Complete Installation.
Note Cleverscope no longer supports Win98. If you need a Win98 version, please look at the Downloads page
(www.cleverscope.com/resources/) for the last version available.
Please carry out the following steps:
Follow the instructions in section 25.5 Update an existing Cleverscope Application only instead of downloading
the Software Update, download the Complete Installation.
Connect up the
Cleverscope Acquisition Unit
– connect the USB cable to a spare port on the PC and plug in the
power adaptor.
The PC should discover the USB connection and display
Cleverscope CS328A MSO
or similar. Just wait after this
for Windows to load the driver request dialog (it might take some seconds as some installations go looking on
the internet for a driver).
Once the dialog comes up, choose to find the driver automatically. Windows will find the driver and install it.
After a short time Windows should announce that the hardware is installed. For Windows Vista and above this
process should happen automatically.
Start-up Cleverscope (it will be in the Start Orb, All Programs. You can drag it to the desktop if desired).
In the Cleverscope Control Panel, click Auto, and the graph should become live.
Now follow section Compensate Probes in Getting Started to set up the probes.
