Firmware Updates
Firmware updates for the L4400 series instruments consist of updates to the
instrument carrier firmware, and if necessary, an update of the instrument
module firmware. The updates are made available via the Web. The firmware
is installed using the Agilent L4400 Firmware Update Utility, also available on
the web. This section contains information for locating and downloading the
update utility and firmware to your computer, and then using the utility to
install the firmware.
Downloading the Update Utility and Firmware
Firmware updates (if available) for the L4400 series instruments can be found
on the Web at:
www.agilent.com/find/L4400
Once this page is displayed, click on ‘Library’ under the heading “More
Details.” From the ‘Library’ window select:
√ L4400 Firmware Update Revision <revision number>
√ Documents & Downloads
√ Agilent L4400 Firmware Update Utility
Save the utility application to a directory (e.g. Temp) on your PC. Note the
directory location as you will need to install the utility from this location.
Installing the Firmware Update Utility
Downloading the firmware update utility copies the application to your PC but
does not install the utility. From the directory where the application was
saved, double- click the firmware update utility application (.exe file). For
example:
FirmwareUpdateUtility_B_01_09_V3.exe
This starts the application’s installation “wizard”. Follow the instructions as
prompted. This will create and install the utility in the directory:
C:\Program Files\Agilent\Firmware Update Utility
