Use the PSG/ESG Upgrade Assistant 5.12 with Firmware Files
The PSG/ESG Upgrade Assistant 5.12 is used with firmware files to upgrade the firmware on
PSG/ESG signal generators.
1.
From the program’s Setup Parameters dialog box, select the Connection Type to be either
LAN, GPIB, or RS-232:
—
If LAN is selected (not available with E44xxB ESG signal generators), specify the settings for
LAN Setup. Enter the IP address or the instrument name (alias name) that has been
assigned to the signal generator.
For example, the signal generator could be assigned an instrument name or an IP address
such as 141.xxx.xxx.xxx (where each x can be any digit from 0 to 9). Each instrument name
or IP address is assigned by a system administrator at your facility. (For further information,
refer to the documentation that came with your LAN interface card or contact your system
administrator.)
—
If GPIB is selected, specify the settings for GPIB Setup. Use GPIB Port 0 and Address 19.
These values should correspond with the values that are set on your signal generator.
For example, the signal generator is usually set to GPIB Port 0 and Address 19 and the
GPIB interface card in the computer is usually set to GPIB Port 0 and Address 21. These
values are chosen by convention, but any address in the range 0-30, inclusive, may be
used. (For further information, refer to the documentation that came with your GPIB
interface card.)
—
If RS-232 is selected (only for use with E44xxB ESG signal generators), specify the settings
for RS-232 Setup. Use either COM Port 1, 2, 3, or 4; the COM port that is selected depends
on the number of serial ports that are available on the PC model be used.
—
Main firmware must be loaded at a Baud Rate of 19200, but DSP code can be loaded at
Baud Rates up to 57600.
2.
Under Firmware Release, click the
Browse
button.
3.
From the Select Release File dialog box, double-click
the folder for the version of
firmware that you would like to install
(for example, double-click
c_02_52_2002_nov).
For E44xxB ESG Signal Generators Models Only
When upgrading E44xxB ESG signal generators from firmware versions earlier
than B.03.20, the firmware must be upgraded in two steps:
a.
Upgrade from earlier firmware versions to B.03.20 using RS-232.
b.
Upgrade from B.03.20 to any newer version (> B.03.20) using RS-232 or
GPIB.
