Updating 2635A Data Bucket Embedded Instrument Firmware

Table 4-11. 4-Wire Ohms Calibration (Fixed Resistor)

Command

CAL 3

CAL_REF?

CAL_STEP?

Response

=>

+290.00E+0

Action

Puts Hydra in OHMS Calibration.

You source 290Ω from the decade resistance source or fixed resistor.

Hydra computes calibration constant 15 and returns the calibrated reading. (For software versions lower than 5.4, this step computes calibration constant 13.)

Note

If the input is incorrect, the "!>" response signifies that a Device Dependent Error has been generated. The calibration step could not be executed.Verify that the input to Hydra channel 1 is the correct value. If the input is correct, Hydra may require repair.

+290.00E+3

+2.9000E+6

You source 2900Ω.

Hydra computes calibration constant 16 and returns the calibrated reading. (For software versions lower than 5.4, this step computes calibration constant 14.)

You source 29000Ω.

Hydra computes calibration constant 17 and returns the calibrated reading. (For software versions lower than 5.4, this step computes calibration constant 15.)

You source 290000Ω.

Hydra computes calibration constant 18 and returns the calibrated reading. (For software versions lower than 5.4, this step computes calibration constant 16.)

You source 2900000Ω.

Hydra computes calibration constants 19 and 20 and returns the calibrated reading. (For software versions lower than 5.4, this step computes calibration constants 17 and 18.)

4-30. Updating 2635A Data Bucket Embedded Instrument Firmware

The instrument firmware in the 2635A Hydra Data Bucket can be easily updated without even opening the instrument case or replacing any parts. The instrument firmware is stored in electrically eraseable and programmable Flash memory.

A diskette which contains the necessary software and the latest release of 2635A Data Bucket firmware may be obtained from either your local Fluke authorized service center or the Fluke factory. The local service centers are listed in Section 6 of this manual. Contact the one nearest you. To request the "2635A Embedded Firmware Memory Loader" diskette from the factory, telephone or send a fax to:
