New Installation of the CMU Software
A software update can be performed in the CMU using the PCMCIA INTERFACE or the FLOPPY DISK
DRIVE (CMU-U61).
One of these is always installed in the CMU (compulsory option).
The software update is carried out in the CMU using the VersionManager. This tool enables convenient
installation, deletion and activation of different software versions. It also permits to perform a firmware
update of modules following module replacement (see chapter 2, Automatic Adjustment).
The CMU is always supplied with the latest software version including the version manager.
Note: The newest CMU software is also available at the R&S Lotus Notes Service Board.
Software Update via PCMCIA INTERFACE
For the PCMCIA INTERFACE, two drive slots are provided. Both drive slots can be used for the
software update. An installation medium is automatically searched for. The flash disks type and the hard
disk (type 3) feature a small groove on one side; the disks are to be inserted into the drive slot with the
groove pointing upwards.
Note: The drive designation is as follows: right drive slot (slot 0) is drive D: left drive slot (slot 1) is
drive E:. Hard disk can only be inserted into the right drive slot (Slot 0; drive D:).
To perform the software update, the instrument must be switched off, then the software update flash
disk or hard disk must be inserted into the PCMCIA INTERFACE on the instrument and the instrument
switch on.
Then the further update flash disks (if necessary) must be inserted one after the other. Please follow the
hints in the VersionManager.
Software Update via FLOPPY DISK DRIVE
To perform the software update, the instrument must be switched off, then the first software update
floppy (’3.5’) must be inserted into the FLOPPY DISK DRIVE of the instrument and the instrument
switched on.
Then the further update floppies must be inserted one after the other. Please follow the hints in the
VersionManager.
