Firmware installation through the R&S SGMA-GUI
If an update to a new firmware version is required for both the R&S SGMA-GUI and the
instrument, it is mandatory that the new instrument's firmware is installed before the
update of the R&S SGMA-GUI to the new version.
1. Select "SGMA-GUI main panel > Instrument Name > Setup > Maintenance > Oper-
ation > Install firmware package".
2. Press "Select Package" and navigate to the directory the new firmware is stored in.
3. If several instruments have to be updated to new firmware version, enable the fea-
ture "Update All " to accelerate the update process.
All instruments that are in active state and are connected to this controller are
updated simultaneously.
4. Enter the "Security Password".
5. Confirm the update with "Accept".
The software transfers the firmware file and automatically starts the update proce-
dure. During the update, the message "Updating Firmware" is displayed in the
"Info" line. The update process is indicated by an LED running light.
Note:
The update procedure requires a restart of the instrument. The restart is per-
formed automatically. The instrument is not accessible during that time.
6. Wait until the message "Updating Firmware" disappears and the update is comple-
ted.
The green POWER ON/STAND BY LED is on.
7. If necessary, install the new R&S SGMA-GUI.
For detailed description, refer to
Chapter 2.3.1, "Installing the R&S SGMA-GUI
8. If the instrument and the controller/PC are connected over the PCIe interface and
the external PC does not support hot-plugging, restart the external PC.
