The progflash command downloads code from files on the host computer
into Flash EPROM memory in the HP E3472A/73A Emulator.
Instead of running progflash interactively, you may use options to the
progflash command:
progflash [-v] [emul_name] [products_to_update ...]
The -v option means "verbose". It causes progress status messages to be
displayed during operation.
The emul_name option is the logical emulator name as specified in the
64700tab or 64700tab.net file.
The products_to_update option names the products whose firmware is to
be updated. For the HP E3472A/73A Emulator, the product name is "E3472".

interactive. If you don't include the emul_name option, it displays the
logical names in the 64700tab or 64700tab.net file and asks you to choose
one. If you don't include the products_to_update option, it displays the
products which have firmware update files on the system and asks you to
