upgrade.unit()
This function upgrades the 2470 firmware.
Type TSP-Link accessible
Affected by Where saved Default value
Usage
upgrade.unit()
Details
When upgrade.unit() is used, the firmware is only loaded if the version of the firmware is newer
than the existing version. If the version is older or at the same revision level, it is not upgraded.
When you send this function, the instrument searches the USB flash drive in the front-panel USB port
for an upgrade file. If the file is found, the instrument verifies that the file is a newer version. If the
version is older or at the same revision level, it is not upgraded, although it does request a reboot. If it
is a newer version, the instrument performs the upgrade. An error event message is returned if no
upgrade file is found.
