How to Update the Instrument Firmware
1. Download the update package from the Rohde&Schwarz website and store it on a
memory stick, on the instrument, or on a server network drive that can be accessed
by the instrument.
2.
NOTICE! Stop measurement. The firmware update must not be performed during a
running measurement.
If a measurement is running, stop it by pressing the highlighted [Run Cont] or [Run
Single] key.
3. Select the [Setup] key.
4. Select the "System Config" softkey.
5. Select the "Firmware Update" tab.
6. In the file selection dialog box select the ESWSetup*.exe file.
"File Explorer": Instead of using the file manager of the R&S ESW firmware, you
can also use the Microsoft Windows File Explorer to manage files.
7. Select "Install" to start the update.
8. After the firmware update, the R&S ESW reboots automatically.
9. Depending on the previous firmware version, a reconfiguration of the hardware
might be required during the first startup of the firmware. The reconfiguration starts
automatically, and a message box informs you about the process. When the recon-
figuration has finished, the instrument again reboots automatically.
Note: Do not switch off the instrument during the reconfiguration process!
Now the firmware update is complete.
It is recommended that you perform a self-alignment after the update (see Chap-
ter 13.1.4, "How to Align the Instrument", on page 304).
