Updating the Tester’s Software
Keeping your tester’s software current gives you access to
new features and the latest test limits.
To see the software version installed in your tester or
smart remote, connect the testers through link adapters,
turn the rotary switch to SPECIAL FUNCTIONS; then select
Version Information.
To get a software update, download the update from
the Fluke Networks website or contact Fluke Networks to
get the update by other means.
Caution
To avoid unexpected loss of power, connect the
ac adapter to the tester when updating the
software.
Note
Changes to the update procedure may be
posted on the DTX CableAnalyzer software
page on the Fluke Networks website.
Updating with a PC
1 Install the latest version of LinkWare software on
your PC.
2 Download the DTX CableAnalyzer update file from
the Fluke Networks website, or contact Fluke
Networks to get the update by other means. You
can access the software page at
www.flukenetworks.com/support. Save the file to
your hard drive.
3 Make the connections shown in Figure 16 using the
USB or DTX serial cable. (The USB connection, if
available, is faster.) Turn on the tester and the smart
remote.
Note
The DTX serial cable connects a PC’s DB-9
RS-232 serial port to the miniature RS-232 serial
port on the DTX-1800 and DTX-1200 testers. This
cable is included with the DTX-1800 and is
available from Fluke Networks.
