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 Agilent E44xxB ESG Signal Generators

— GPIB or LAN on Agilent E44x8C ESG Signal Generators

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

— GPIB or LAN on Agilent 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

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.

NOTE 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.

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 ClearErrorQueue(s).

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

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

Agilent 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 Agilent E44xxB ESG Signal Generators)

1. Connect Agilent 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 Agilent E44xxB ESG Signal Generators)” on page 7 for more information.

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

PSG/ESG Upgrade Assistant 5.12 is being used.

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

a. Press the following keys:

Preset (factory defined)

Utility > GPIB/RS-232

RS-232 Baud Rate > 19200

RS-232 Echo > Off

RS-232 Pace >

Transmit Pace > None

Receiver Pace > Xon

RTS/CTS > RTS On

Check Signal Generator Functionality

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 Agilent 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.
