4 Firmware Upgrade Guide N5191-90023

Firmware Upgrade Guide

Introduction

The instructions in this firmware upgrade guide enable you to upgrade firmware on a Keysight

X-Series signal generator from the Keysight Technologies website.

Before using this guide, you should be familiar with the basic operation of the signal generator. If

you are not comfortable with using the signal generator’s menus and with entering parameter

values, refer to the instrument’s User’s Guide and familiarize yourself with the basic operation

information.

Basic Upgrade Process

1. Confirm required equipment (page 5).

2. Run the signal generator’s functionality check (page 6).

3. Connect the signal generator to a PC (page 7).

4. Download and install the firmware (page 8).

5. Rerun signal generator’s functionality check (page 6).

Firmware Upgrade Guide

Step 1. Confirm Required Equipment

PC Requirements

450 MHz PentiumII or higher

Operating System, Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 10

128 MB RAM

20 MB free disk space

Internet browser to download firmware files from the Internet, or to view firmware release information on your PC over the Internet.

Either browser must be Java enabled with Java 1.02 or above.

MicrosoftInternet Explorer 4.01 or later

Netscape Navigator 4.0 or later

If using GPIB:

— an installed and configured GPIB IO interface card and a GPIB cable

— either the Keysight or National Instruments I/O Libraries

If using LAN:

— an installed and configured LAN interface card

— To connect either directly to the PC, or the PC through to LAN, use a 100Base-T LAN cable

— See the FAQ: “How do I connect the Keysight MXG Signal Generator to a PC using LAN?

If you encounter problems, contact your network administrator.

If using USB:

— an unused USB port

— a USB cable with Micro USB connector

— the Keysight I/O Library 15.5 or later or the National Instruments VISA library 4.0 or later.

Step 2. Run the Signal Generator’s Functionality Check

Use the following procedure to confirm that the signal generator powers up and that the internal

check identifies no errors. The internal check evaluates the operation of the signal generator and

returns an error message if it detects a problem.

1. Turn on power to the signal generator and let it warm up for at least five minutes.

2. Check to see if the ERR annunciator is on.

—If the ERR annunciator is off, the signal generator’s functionality check passed.

—If the ERR annunciator is on:

a. View the error queue:

Press Error.

b. Resolve all problems causing errors.

If you are unable to resolve the errors, contact Keysight Technologies (see page 11).

c. Clear the error queue: Press Clear Error Queue(s) and go to step 3.

3. Repeat the functionality check:

Cycle the signal generator’s power.

4. Repeat step 2.

Step 3. Connect the Signal Generator to the PC

Using LAN

Connect the signal generator to the PC:

Either

— use a 100 Base-T LAN cable to connect the signal generator to the PC,

— connect both the PC and the signal generator to the LAN using 100 Base-T LAN cables.

There are numerous ways to configure the signal generator to connect to the LAN. Refer to:

— Keysight MXG FAQ’s “How do I connect the Keysight MXG Signal Generator to a PC using

LAN?”.

— Keysight Technologies IO Libraries USB/LAN/GPIB Interfaces Connectivity Guide (E2094–

90009).

— Keysight X-Series Programming Guide or,

—http://www.keysight.com/find/uxg

Depending on the signal generator's current LAN settings and which procedure you choose, the

signal generator's LAN settings may be changed. Since these settings are persistent (retained

through presets and power cycles) it is recommended that you record the current LAN settings so

you can restore them back to their original settings after upgrading the firmware. Information on

the LAN softkeys is provided in key Help of the instrument. See also the User’s Guide.

Using GPIB

1. Connect a GPIB cable between the PC and the signal generator.

2. Set the GPIB address:

Press Utility > I/O Config > GPIB Setup > GPIB Address > 19

The signal generator’s GPIB address is set to 19 at the factory. The acceptable range of

addresses is 0 through 30. Once initialized, the state of the GPIB address is not affected by a

signal generator preset or by a power cycle. Other instruments on the GPIB cannot use the

same address as the signal generator.

Using USB

Connect a USB cable between the PC and the signal generator’s rear panel Micro USB connector.

If the “Found New Hardware” wizard activates, select Install the Software Automatically.

If there is more than one signal generator on the same bus whose GPIB address is 19, turn the

power off to the instrument(s) or change the address of the signal generator of interest.

Step 4. Download and Install the Firmware Files

From the Keysight Technologies website

1. In an Internet browser, enter http://www.keysight.com/find/upgradeassistant.

2. Download and run the latest Keysight X-Series Firmware Package.

3. Once the upgrade assistant starts, follow the program’s prompts (see page 9).

4. After the upgrade completes, press the signal generator’s Local hardkey to return front panel

control.

5. Run the signal generator’s functionality check (see page 6).

If the upgrade is interrupted, the instrument tries to load a recovery image;

if errors appear, they can be safely ignored. Run the Upgrade Assistant

again to install the proper firmware; additional errors may appear, but

these can also be ignored unless pressing Error > Clear Error Queue does

not clear them. If you cannot clear the errors, contact Keysight

Technologies (see page 11).
