Please note the following:
Prior to updating the firmware, please read the corresponding release
notes containing further update instructions . If the firmware version on your
GSG unit is V4.05 or lower, several updates must be performed in the correct
sequence. It is possible, albeit not recommended, to back out a firmware

In order for the instrument to communicate with the PC Software the NI VISA
runtime software is required. The StudioView installation wizard will notify
you, but if necessary, the NI VISA runtime software can also be downloaded
directly from the National Instruments website:

.
Once a firmware upload is initiated from StudioView, any running scenario will
be stopped, and the upgrade process status will be displayed instead. First,
the progress of the file transfer is displayed. After the file transfer is complete,
the actual upgrade operation is made. Finally, the GSG-5/6 unit will reboot
with the new firmware installed.
The Windows Personal Computer onto which you will download the new firm-
ware must have
GSG StudioView installed on it, and must be connected to
your GSG unit e.g., via Ethernet.
