Upgrading Instrument Software
Upgrading Multiple Instruments
You can upgrade several instruments in one session, one at a time, if you have determined their addresses. To upgrade,
use the Windows Command Prompt. Enter the following line in a Command Prompt window (substituting the addresses
of your machines):
transfer.exe 192.181.115.1 192.181.115.2 192.181.115.3
Separate the addresses with a space.
Alternatively, you can use
fi
le redirection to input the IP addresses to the transfer.exe utility. To do this, create a text
fi
le
containing a carriage-return delimited list of IP addresses or DNS names for the instruments to be updated. If you created a
text
fi
le named HOSTS.TXT, you would enter the following command to update a group of instruments:
transfer.exe < HOSTS.TXT
Verifying the Upgrade
After you have completed the software upgrade, the instrument will reboot and come up in an operational mode.
To verify the functional performance of your instrument, perform the
Incoming Inspection
procedures.
NOTE.
See the Readme.txt
fi
le that is included with the software-upgrade package to determine whether all of the current
Con
fi
guration menu and instrument-mode settings were preserved through upgrading.
