  • Page 20: Firmware Update

    R&S SMB100A Firmware Update 3 Firmware Update 3.1 Update Information The update procedure requires that the instrument is operational. There is no need to uninstall the current firmware. In most cases instrument settings are preserved during the update, including user data and network settings. To perform this procedure, USB Device must be enabled in security settings.
  • Page 21 R&S SMB100A Firmware Update Check for stereo coder firmware update (SMB-B5) The option SMB-B5 contains its own local firmware. During reboot the instrument firmware checks whether an update of the stereo coder firmware is required. ● If the stereo coder firmware is already up to date, the instrument starts as usual. Wait until it is operational and continue with internal adjustments.
