6.3.4.4 Firmware Updates
Access: SETUP > "System Configuration" > "Firmware Update"
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 Firmware Version" ) and you are asked to update the firmware. Until the firm-
ware version is updated, self-alignment fails. To see which components are not sup-
ported, see the System Messages.
The firmware on your R&S FPL1000 may also need to be updated in order to enable
additional new features or if reasons for improvement come up. Ask your sales repre-
sentative or check the Rohde&Schwarz website for availability of firmware updates. A
firmware update package includes at least a setup file and release notes.
Before updating the firmware on your instrument, read the release notes delivered with
the firmware version.
