Upgrading the System Software
The system software in the AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator
can be updated by using the utility menu. The System software consists of both the
user program and the operating system. The upgrades can be done independent of
each other. Refer to page 3-158 for information regarding the current system
software versions.
Preparation
