Instrument Software Update Instructions Agilent E6630A Wireless Connectivity Test Set Purpose The purpose of this document is to outline the instrument software update procedure for the E6630A, Wireless Connectivity Test Set. The advantages of updating the instrument software with the current revision include: 1. Keeps the instrument current and up to date. 2. Updates the advanced measurement applications where appropriate. 3. Updates the PC board FPGA software where appropriate. An update to the instrument software revision does not require a new license key for the measurement application(s), so long as the application(s) were licensed prior to the update. To determine what revision of instrument software is currently installed, press System, Show, System using the instruments virtual front panel. You can access the virtual front panel using a mouse and right "clicking" in the application window and selecting Utility Virtual Front Panel.

If the installed revision is the same as the latest revision on the web, there is no need to update the instrument software.
