Getting Started 1146.2078.62 ─ 09
The initial installation and firmware updates are carried out by starting this EXE file. By
doing this you start an Installer program which automatically checks which type of
installation is necessary:
Main installation
The Installer displays what it has found out about the environment into
which the firmware will be installed and how much disk space is nee-
ded. It then takes you through the "Setup Wizard". Normally, the
"Next" button is always used to continue.
Major update
The Installer detects that the installed firmware is too old for a minor
update to be carried out. It therefore displays a message asking you to
uninstall the old software completely.
Minor update
The Installer simply displays a short prompt asking whether you wish
to update the firmware. The rest is performed automatically.
2.11.1 Troubleshooting during a Firmware Update
The two most common problems that can occur when installing the software (or during
a major update) are these:
●
At the beginning, just before the progress bar starts, the progress window displays
the text "InstallShield is preparing InstallScript". Occasionally you then see an error
message and installation is canceled.
This problem can usually be solved by restarting Windows and carrying out the
firmware installation again.
●
After the installer has installed the firmware, i.e., the progress bar is completely fil-
led, the progress window displays the text "Removing Backup Files", "Registering
Components" or "Publishing Product Information". Here, too, it occasionally hap-
pens that an error message is followed by a second message, and the firmware is
subsequently not installed.
This problem can sometimes be solved by restarting Windows and carrying out the
setup again. If the error occurs again, this can be for two reasons:
–
Installation of the front panel driver went wrong. In this case, it must be instal-
led using the Windows wizard; the required INI file is named
C:\UPV\fpnl_wdm.inf
. You should now reinstall the firmware.
–
The installation of additional Windows settings went wrong. In this case, exe-
cute the files
C:\UPV\ScanFirmwareVersions.exe
and
C:\UPV\SetReg.exe
in succession. You should now reinstall the firmware.
If neither of these steps is successful, the instrument needs to go in for service (or
the Windows image program must be reloaded).
2.12 Windows
XP Recovery and Backup
The R&S UPV provides an invisible backup and recovery partition. A backup of the fac-
tory system partition
(C:\)
is saved by default and can be restored in case of a sys-
tem crash.
