Instrument Firmware and Operating System
Operating System
Operating System
The operating system used in the X-Series signal generators is Windows
Compact Embedded (WinCE), which is a closed embedded operating system.
Characteristics of this type of operating system are:
— Operating system and instrument SW are compiled together into a single
code image.
— The user has only a limited amount of operating system functionality
available to them.
— The user does not have the ability to add additional applications.
— The operating system cannot be updated separately.
The version of the operating system in an instrument can be seen as the OS
entry on the Utility, Instrument Info, Diagnostic Info display as seen in
Figure 19-1.
Operating System Updates
The operating system is not updatable on its own. Any updates to the
operating system are included in the instrument firmware installation.
However, not all firmware updates include an operating system update. The
operating system is only updated when there are updates that are deemed
necessary for the product.
