2.9.5 R&S Version Selector
Several software branches can be installed in parallel, but only one of the installed soft-
ware branches is active at a time. The active software is not only stored on the hard disk,
but also present in the flash memory of relevant hardware, e.g. baseband boards and
signaling units. This software branch is started when the instrument is switched on or via
the "CMW" icon on the desktop.
The "R&S Version Selector" allows to change the active software branch, to uninstall
optional software packages and to repair (reinstall) software packages. It can be opened
via an icon on the desktop.
