Firmware Update
Do not turn off the instrument during the update.
1. Press [Home] > Help > About to determine the firmware revision that is currently installed.
2.
Go to www.keysight.com/find/DAQ970Afirmware to find the latest firmware revision. If this matches
the revision installed on your instrument, there is no need to continue with this procedure. Otherwise,
download the firmware update utility and a ZIP file of the firmware. Detailed firmware instructions are in
the Firmware Update Utility Instructions located on the download page.
3.
Unzip the ZIP file and use the firmware update utility to prepare a USB drive with the updated firmware.
4. Attach the USB drive to the instrument front panel and press [Utility] > Admin > Firmware Update to
update the firmware. If Secure mode is enabled, unlock the instrument with the security code before
installing firmware.
Important: In order to update the instrument firmware from remote, the model number in the *IDN?
response must match the actual instrument model number. If you have changed the instrument's *IDN?
response to another instrument, when attempting to update the firmware from remote, you will see this
error: "The instrument is not supported by this firmware file". To update the firmware, either update using
the front panel procedure or, from remote, use SYSTem:PERSona:MODel to set the *IDN? to match the
actual model number, update the firmware, and then use SYSTem:PERSona:MODel again to set the *IDN?
response to the other model number.
