To update your instrument to the latest application software

When updates to the instrument application software occur, an updated application software file can be downloaded from:

www.agilent.com/find/5462xsw for the 54620-series or

www.agilent.com/find/5464xsw for the 54640-series,

or call an Agilent center and request the latest application software disk for your instrument.

Always update your localized Quick Help file to match the latest instrument application software

If you update your application software, always update your Quick Help localized languages to the latest version by downloading the language file from the above web site. English Quick Help is built into the application software.
