Possible impairment of the functioning of the instrument
The instrument is equipped with the Linux operating system. It is thus possible to install
COTS software in the instrument. The use and installation of commercial off-the-shelf
(COTS) software may impair the instrument function. For this reason, we recommend
that you only execute programs tested by Rohde & Schwarz with regard to their
compatibility with the instrument software. In certain cases, the use of these programs
can impair the performance of the instrument.
The drivers and programs used in the instrument under Linux have been adapted to
the test instrument. Existing instrument software must only be modified with update
software released by Rohde & Schwarz.
The firmware update packages for the R&S OSP120 and OSP130 are integrated in a
single setup file "OSP<xxx>.rsu" (<xxx> denotes the version of the firmware update).
Firmware updates as well as the Release Notes describing the improvements and
modifications are provided on the Internet at the download site of the R&S OSP
homepage.
The installation of a new firmware version is performed via the USB interface. A de-
installation of the old firmware is not necessary. The firmware update is performed
while the instrument is running. The new firmware will be loaded right after the update
process.
To perform a firmware update, perform the following steps.
11. The update file has to be downloaded from the Internet to a PC. From there the
file should be transferred to a USB flash drive which will later be plugged into the
USB interface of the R&S OSP.
12. Connect the external monitor and keyboard to the R&S OSP120 and switch on the
instrument. Wait until booting is complete.
13. Connect the USB flash drive to one of the two USB interfaces on the R&S OSP
front panel. If the instrument recognizes a flash drive at its USB interface, and
finds valid update versions, the Software Update Process is started. Press the
Yes button (OK key on OSP130) to continue
All update versions (files with extension .rsu) stored on the flash drive now are offered
for selection. Thus, an upgrade or downgrade of the firmware is possible at any time.
Select the required firmware update version and press the OK button.
