1.8 Firmware Update
Upgrade versions of the analyzer firmware are supplied as single setup files *.msi. To
perform a firmware update,
1. Copy the setup file to any storage medium accessible from the analyzer. This may
be the internal hard disk, an external storage medium (USB memory stick, CD-ROM
with external drive) or a network connection (LAN, GPIB bus).
2. Double-click the setup file (or use the front panel keys to select and start the setup
file; see chapter 2.3.2.1, "Using Front Panel Keys", on page 39) and follow the
instructions of the setup wizard.
Setup files can be stored and installed again. The default drive name of the internal hard
disk is C:. External storage devices are automatically mapped to the next free drive, i.e.
D:, E: etc.
Factory calibration
A firmware update does not affect the factory calibration.
External accessories
The Calibration Unit (accessory R&S ZV-Z5x) and the Extension Unit (accessory R&S
ZVAXxx) must be disconnected during a firmware update.
