Upgrading the firmware
To upgrade the Model DMM7510 firmware, you load an upgrade file into the instrument. You can load
the file from the front-panel USB port using either a remote interface or the front panel of the
instrument. If you are using Test Script Builder (TSB), you can upgrade the firmware from TSB using
a file saved to the computer on which TSB is running.
During the upgrade to new process, the instrument verifies that the version you are loading is newer
than what is on the instrument. If the version is older or at the same revision level, no changes are
made.
If you want to return to a previous version or reload the present version of the firmware, select
Downgrade to Older
. This forces the instrument to load the firmware regardless of the version.
The upgrade process normally takes about five minutes.
