Receiver Firmware and GUI Update for EB500 with front control panel

The "Boot Program Version" refers to a stand-alone program whose only purpose
is to boot-up the R&S EB500.
For EB500 with front control panel, it is therefore sufficient to update the receiver
firmware and GUI software: this will update all the images required for normal oper-
ation to the latest versions. The receiver firmware and GUI software will be updated
in the same procedure. This keeps the update process simple and prevents any
version conflict.
For EB500 without front control panel only the receiver firmware needs to be upda-
ted.
CD-ROM and Downloads
The R&S EB500 is shipped together with a "EB500 Software and Documen-
tation CD ROM" which contains the same firmware and GUI versions as in
the R&S EB500 at the time of shipment. The latest versions can be down-
loaded from GLORIS.
The CD-ROM will autostart and launch the opening menu where the various
options are available. If the CD-ROM does not autostart or if the files are
obtained from the company website, launch the menu by running the
start.htm in a suitable browser. Recommended is
Internet Explorer 7.
The next few sections explain the steps needed for updating the receiver firmware
and GUI software (for EB500 with front control panel) or only the receiver firmware
(for EB500 without front control panel) respectively.

ted and version conflict will be avoided.
