WFM 601A, WFM 601E, & WFM 601M Service Manual
Installing Upgrade Software
The waveform monitor stores its main operating software in EPROM located on
the Main (A3) circuit board. You can replace the EPROM software with a newer
version through the Serial port on the rear panel. The instructions in this section
describe how to use the Upgrade program to upgrade the software in a
WFM 601A, WFM 601E, or WFM 601M waveform monitor. New software
upgrades are released as kits, which give details of the requirements and results
of the upgrade.
NOTE
. Adjustment is required following the software upgrade.
If you load new software, adjustment is necessary. Adjustment is required for the
display mode intensities and Arrowhead and Lightning graticules. For more
details, refer to page 6–46.
The Software Upgrade disk included with this manual contains the upgrade
utility software and the latest version of instrument software at the time of
publication.
NOTE
. Check the version of the waveform monitor boot ROM before installing
new software. The boot ROM is the socketed IC U13 on the Main board (A3). See
Figure 6–26. The A3 Main board is the large board on the bottom of the
waveform monitor. Read the last two digits from the part number label on the
boot ROM to determine the version. If the boot ROM version is 00 or 01, you
need to replace it with the 02 boot ROM before loading new software. Contact
your Tektronix Service Representative for more information.
