8.2 Operational Notes
Battery
-
When the USB port is set to RS-232 mode some power is also provided to
the unit via USB, however a properly charged battery is still required to fully
operate the unit.

Many USB hubs do not provide proper 5V power to connected devices. When
using a USB hub to connect the unit to a PC, it is strongly recommended to
power the unit with a fully charged battery.
Firmware Update
-
From the main menu select “Setup”
“Firmware update”
“Yes”. The unit will
then enter the Firmware Update mode.

Connect a USB cable between the unit & a PC. After connection, the PC will
detect the unit as a USB storage device named “USB UPDATE” and the OLED
display will read “Paste FW File...”.

Copy and paste a valid firmware *.BIN file into the USB UPDATE drive.
-
After successfully copying the file, the unit will begin the update process.
The OLED display will read “Programming...” followed by the HDCP button
blinking rapidly. Please do not turn off the power during the programming
phase.

Once the update is complete the unit will automatically reboot.
Factory Reset

To return the unit to its factory default settings, please press and hold the
“HDCP” key while powering the unit on.

Generator & Analyzer manual.
Cable Testing

The cable testing feature performs tests based on the HDMI 2.0 error rate
tolerance specification for 18Gbps signals and is provided as an advisory tool
only. It is recommended that each cable under test should be tested at least
three times to help eliminate outlier results.
