Overview of Upgrade Assistant 5.12

PSG/ESG Upgrade Assistant 5.12 is used for upgrading firmware on PSG/ESG signal generators:

— it is a Windows-based program

— it replaces PSG/ESG Upgrade Assistant 5.00 through 5.11

as well as ESG Upgrade Assistant 2.12, 2.22, and 3.3.

— it allows new and previous versions of firmware installations to be performed using either:

— RS-232 or GPIB on E44xxB ESG Signal Generators

— GPIB or LAN on E44x8C ESG Signal Generators

— GPIB or LAN on E824xA/5xA PSG Signal Generators

— GPIB or LAN on E82x7C/D PSG Signal Generators

— it has an associated HTML page that describes the following information for each firmware

upgrade version:

— information about new features and enhancements

— a list of improvements and defects that have been fixed

— hardware compatibility

Always use the Upgrade Assistant version shown with the firmware that is to

be downloaded.

Firmware Upgrade Guide E4400-90549 5

Check Signal Generator Functionality

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.

To check signal generator functionality

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

2. Cycle power on the signal generator. The green LED should light and the signal generator

should perform a functionality check.

3. When the display lights, check to see if the ERR annunciator is on.

—If the ERR annunciator is on, review the error messages in the error queue by pressing

Utility > Error Info >View Next Error Message. The first error message in the error queue

appears in the display text area. (Refer to the signal generator error messages list on the

documentation CD for information about each error message.)

After resolving all problems causing errors, press Clear Error Queue(s).

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

The signal generator must warm up for at least five minutes and all errors must be

cleared from the error queue before a firmware upgrade can be successfully

completed.

If errors exist in the error queue and a firmware upgrade is attempted, the

firmware upgrade will be unsuccessful; new DSP code cannot be upgraded until

the error queue has been cleared.

When signal generators with Option 1E5 are first connected to ac line power, the

error message ERROR 514,Reference Oven Cold occurs, causing both the

OVEN COLD annunciator and the ERR annunciator to turn on.

After approximately five minutes, the OVEN COLD annunciator automatically

clears, but the ERR annunciator remains on until all errors are cleared from the

error queue.

6 Firmware Upgrade Guide E4400-90549

Confirm Required Equipment

This section lists the minimum computer hardware, operating system, and software that are

required to perform firmware upgrades on PSG/ESG signal generators.

Computer IBM compatible PC with a 486 MHz processor or

greater

RAM Required 64 MB or more

Hard Disk Space Required 20 MB or more

This could increase significantly if a large library of

firmware upgrade files are expected to be maintained

on the PC. A single firmware release consists of

approximately 5 to 8 MB of data.

CD-ROM Drive or Modem Use of a CD-ROM drive is only required when the

computer being used does not have Internet access.

Use of a 56 kbps modem is only required for systems

downloading firmware updated from the Internet.

RS-232, GPIB, or LAN Connection — If you plan to perform a firmware upgrade using

RS-232, refer to the “RS-232 Installation Kit (Only

for use with E44xxB ESG Signal Generators)” on

page 6.

While making the RS-232 connection, a 5-mm nut

driver, part number 8710-1219, is used to remove

the screws from the serial interface (f) to (f) adapter.

— If you plan to perform a firmware upgrade using

GPIB, refer to “GPIB Interface Requirements” on

page 6.

— If you plan to perform a firmware upgrade using

LAN, a 10Base-T LAN interface is required. Contact

your network administrator if problems are

encountered.

Operating System Windows XP, 2000, or Windows NT 4.0 (with Service

Pack 5 or above)

Internet Browser Use of an Internet Browser is only required for

downloading firmware files from the Internet or for

viewing firmware release information on your local PC

or over the Internet.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 and above, or Netscape

Navigator 4.0 and above

Either browser must be Java enabled with Java 1.02 or

above.

Connect an RS-232, GPIB, or LAN Interface to a PC

To connect the signal generator to a PC using an RS-232 interface

(Only for use with E44xxB ESG Signal Generators)

1. Connect E44xxB ESG signal generators to the PC as shown in the following diagram. Use a

5-mm nut driver to remove both standoffs (screws) from the female-female adapter.

RS-232 communications are connected to one of the COM ports on the PC using an RS-232

serial cable with a null-modem connected between the COM port and the signal generator’s

RS-232 connector. Refer to the “RS-232 Installation Kit (Only for use with E44xxB ESG Signal

Generators)” on page 7 for more information.

2. Set the RS-232 parameters as follows on the E44xxB ESG signal generators:

a. Press the following keys:

Ensure that the selected COM port is not used by any other device while

PSG/ESG Upgrade Assistant 5.12 is being used.

Connect an RS-232, GPIB, or LAN Interface to a PC

To connect the signal generator to a PC using a GPIB interface card

1. Connect the signal generator to the PC as shown in the following diagram.

GPIB communications require a GPIB interface card installed in the PC and a GPIB cable

connected between the interface card and the signal generator’s GPIB connector.

Two common GPIB interface cards are the National Instruments PCI–GPIB and the Keysight

GPIB interface cards. (Refer to “GPIB Interface Requirements” on page 7 and refer to the

documentation that came with the GPIB interface card for information related to installing and

configuring the GPIB interface card in your computer.)

2. Set GPIB parameters as follows on PSG/ESG signal generators:

a. Press the following keys for the model being set:

b. Use the numeric keypad, the arrow keys, or rotate the front panel knob to set the desired

address and press Enter.

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.

Connect an RS-232, GPIB, or LAN Interface to a PC

To connect the signal generator to a PC using a LAN interface card

1. Connect the signal generator to the PC as shown in the following diagram.

LAN communications require a LAN interface card installed in the PC and a LAN cable

connected between the interface card and the signal generator’s LAN connector. LAN

communications require a 10Base-T LAN interface. Contact your network administrator if

problems are encountered.

2. Set LAN parameters as follows on PSG/ESG signal generators:

a. Press the following keys for the model being set:

b. Use the numeric keypad to set the desired address and press Enter.

The signal generator LAN address is not set at the factory. Contact your network

administration to obtain an appropriate IP address.

c. Set the Sockets SCPI parameters by pressing Utility > GPIB/RS-232/LAN > LAN Services
