Agilent Module Firmware Upgrade Procedure
Agilent module firmware is upgraded via GPIB or a serial null-modem
cable.
You require a PC running MS Windows 95 or NT 4.0 or higher. To update via
GPIB the PC must be fitted with a suitable interface card. Alternatively, a
serial null-modem cable is required, such as is supplied with your Agilent
8163A/B mainframe.
You also require the module update program, which is supplied both on the
Support CD-ROM and as a web download. Copy Module_Update.exe to a
directory on your PC's hard drive, then execute Module_Update.exe to
install the module update program.
The readme.htm file associated with the module_update program contains
• Notification of prerequisites,
• Notification of known issues,
as well as detailed instructions for use.
Be sure to study this file before attempting to use the module update
software.
The floppy update procedure for the Agilent 81480A and
81640A/42A/80A/82A Tunable Laser Modules is no longer suppported.
Please update your modules via GPIB or a null-modem serial cable as
described above.
