Download and install the latest firmware
Loading the latest firmware helps ensure that your oscilloscope is taking the most accurate measurements. You can check for
the latest updates from network-connected oscilloscopes, or download the update file to a USB drive and install from there.
Prerequisite: Save any important on-instrument files (waveforms, screen captures, oscilloscope setups, and so on) to a USB
drive or network.
Update oscilloscope firmware from USB drive
Prerequisite: Determine the current version of firmware installed on the oscilloscope (Help > About)
1. Open up a Web browser on a PC and go to www.tektronix.com/software.
2. Enter MSO5 in the search field and click Search.
3. Select Software in the Filter by type list.
4. If the listed available firmware version is newer than what is on your oscilloscope, select and download that file to your PC.
5. Follow the installation instructions that came with the downloaded firmware to create a firmware install file.
6. Copy the firmware install file to a USB drive.
7. Insert the USB drive into any oscilloscope USB Host port. The oscilloscope detects the USB drive with the firmware file and
starts the installation process.
