This file has a size of 10242884 bytes.
To send the file to the sensor for updating the firmware, your application has to assem-
ble a memory block containing:
SYST:FWUP <block_data>
The <block_data> is definite length-arbitrary block data as described in SYSTem:
FWUPdate on page 129.
The size of the file is 10242884. This number has 8 digits. Thus, the <block_data>
