Page 29: Firmware Update Using R&S Firmware Update File Via Lan
Firmware Update R&S SMA100A Execute internal adjustments Risk of damage for device under test! During adjustment, assemblies without attenuator temporarily provide high power at the RF plug. This may cause damage to the device under test (DUT). Furthermore, those instruments require that the RF plug is terminated by 50 ohm during adjustment. So it is recommended to disconnect the DUT and replace it by a 50 ohm terminating resistor. - Page 30 Firmware Update R&S SMA100A The file manager shows several folders. Please copy the firmware update file to the folder Update. After copying the firmware update file to the folder Update. The update will be start automatically The update procedure may take several minutes. ...
