R&S SMA100A Firmware Update
Release Notes for Firmware 1171.5360.52 32
The instrument boots from external drive
Follow the instructions on screen
Disconnect the external USB device
Reboot instrument
If the CD refuses to boot please ensure that you have burned the ISO-image as an
“image” and not as a single file. Check the CD regarding presence of several files like
BOOT.CAT, FULLIMG.GZ, ISOBOOT, ISOLINUX.BIN, ISOLINUX.CFG, ISOROOT
Check for PCI FPGA update
During reboot the firmware automatically checks whether an update of the
internal PCI-FPGA is required.
If the PCI-FPGA is up to date, instrument firmware starts as usual. Wait until
firmware is operational and continue with internal adjustments
If an update is required, follow instructions and wait until firmware confirms
success. The update may take several minutes.
Risk of instrument malfunction!
Do not interrupt the PCI FPGA update and do not switch off power during update until
instrument confirms success.
To apply the new FPGA configuration data a power off/on cycle is required.
Press OK to shut down the instrument and wait until yellow stand by led lights
up.
Restart instrument using the power button and wait until instrument is
operational.
Execute internal adjustments
Risk of damage for device under test!
During adjustment, assemblies without attenuator temporarily provide high power at
the RF plug. This may cause damage to the device under test (DUT). Furthermore,
those instruments require that the RF plug is terminated by 50 ohm during adjustment.
So it is recommended to disconnect the DUT and replace it by a 50 ohm terminating
resistor.
Press the PRESET key on the instrument front panel.
Press the SETUP key, select Internal Adjustments and execute Adjust All.
This procedure updates all internal instrument adjustments and will take
several minutes. Adjustments requiring external measurement equipment are
not affected by the firmware update and need not to be performed.
