Downloading New Software

When a software update becomes available from Fluke, you can download the software from Fluke’s LAN Products BBS or web site to your PC, then use DSP- LINK to download the software to your test tool.

WCautions

Downloading new software overwrites the existing test software in your test tool. You will not have access to the old version of the software.

Downloading new software erases all data stored in the test tool’s memory. To save stored Autotest or Single Test results, use DSP-link to upload the results to a PC. To save Setup data, write down the settings shown on the displays in the test tool’s SETUP mode.

To prevent an unexpected loss of battery power to the test tool, connect the battery charger to the test tool during the downloading process.

To download new software from the BBS or web site to your test tool, proceed as follows:

1.Copy the software update file from the BBS or web site to a PC. The file is compressed and self-executing.

2.Execute the file to expand the data. Expanding the file creates files with the extensions .SDB or .DSP. More than one file may be created.

3.Connect the test tool to the PC and configure the serial ports as described in the earlier section “Preparing for Data Transfer.”

4.In the DSP-LINK window, click on Software Update.

5.If you want to save the Autotest reports stored in memory, click on no in response to the next dialog box. Save the reports by uploading them to the PC.

If you do not want to save the stored reports, click on yes.

6.Enter the path and file name of the expanded software update file (.DSP or

.SDB).

7.Click on OK.

8.Repeat steps 4 through 6 for all files created by the expansion process.
