Updating Message-
Based Firmware
Before you attempt to update the firmware of your message-based
card, e.g., Models 3152B and 3100M-3152B, first check the revision
level of the product. Each firmware update was done for a reason and
therefore, if you want to update the firmware for a problem in your
system, check the readme file that is associated with the update to
see if an update will solve your problem. There are a number of ways
to check the revision level of your firmware:
1. Using a SCPI command from an external utility, you can read
the firmware version by sending the following query:
SYST:INFO:FIRM:VERS?
The response is a string showing the firmware version, e.g., 1.04.
2. Using ArbConnection, select the General/Filters panel from the
System tab and click on the Firmware Version button. The
General/Filters panel with the firmware revision indication is
shown in Figure 7-3.
Use the following procedure to upgrade the firmware once you
determine that a firmware upgrade will improve the performance of
your instrument.
1. Install the firmware updater utility.
2. Run the resource manager.
3. Launch the firmware updater utility as shown in Figure 7-4.
