Updating Receiver Firmware

1

In the Hardware panel, configure a receiver and receiver 
measurement. Once data logging starts, the E6474A 
software determines if the Agilent E645xC digital receiver 
has the correct firmware. If not, the message box in 

Figure 103

 appears.

Figure 103

Firmware upgrade required, first dialog box

NOTE

The Agilent 

W1314A

 receiver range uses a software-enabled firmware 

upgrade process that is managed by the E6474A software. If the firmware 
or internal components require updating, follow the instructions provided 
when you try to connect your receiver to the software application.

NOTE

If your hardware configuration includes daisy-chained E645xx receivers, 
you must first disconnect the receivers, then connect one receiver at a 
time, and upgrade the firmware on each receiver. When you are finished 
updating the firmware, reconnect the daisy-chain, and reconfigure the 
daisy-chained receivers.
