9.3.4.4 Firmware Updates
During instrument start, the installed hardware is checked against the current firmware
version to ensure the hardware is supported. If not, an error message is displayed
("WRONG_FW") and you are asked to update the firmware. Until the firmware version
is updated, self-alignment fails. To see which components are not supported, see the
System Messages.
The firmware on your R&S FSW may also need to be updated in order to enable addi-
tional new features or if reasons for improvement come up. Ask your sales representa-
tive or check the Rohde&Schwarz website for availability of firmware updates. A firm-
ware update package includes at least a setup file and release notes.
