revision available. The advantages of updating the instrument software with the current revision

1. Keeps the analyzer current and up to date.
2. Updating the advanced measurement applications where appropriate.
3. Updating the PC board 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.
This procedure will not update the 89601A or 89601B VSA measurement software.
