Download and installation
- Download the latest firmare from R&S MXO4 firmware download area to the root folder of a USB pen drive.
- Insure that the instrument is powered and not running any application (you can press the “Preset” button).
- Insert the USB key into the scope’s front USB connector and
- navigate to: Menu >> Settings >> Maintenance >> FW Update
- select: Install from file (button)
- from the file browser select USB (sda) device, (double) tap on Setup_MXO4_V2.2.2.1.exe and/or press open button
- The unit will reboot twice, first into firmware upgrade mode and, when finished, again into normal user mode.
For further details and upgrade instructions please refer to the R&S Release Notes.
WARNING: in the firmware upgrade there is always a risk: instrument must not lose power supply. The process takes a couple of minutes, if you want to be totally safe you can use an UPS.
MXO4-K31: Power Analysis (last chance)
With the previous firmware version 2.0, R&S added the MXO4-K31 option to the MXO4-PK1 bundle. Therefore, new MXO4-PK1s also integrate the MXO-K31, but the same does not apply to existing and already activated/installed ones.
This is an additional reminder (and a limited-time offer) for all our customers who purchased an MXO4 oscilloscope with the MXO4-PK1 bundle before firmware release 2.0.
Please contact us urgently (within the 31th of July) if you would like to freely add the MXO-K31 option to your existing MXO4-PK1 bundle.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to support your test & measurement needs.
