Keysight N8262A Modular Power Meter Firmware A.05.04 Description

Revision History:

Enhancement:
- Add new flash file system to provide compatibility on the new processor board (P1002).
- New preset for LTE.
- Compatible with N8480 power sensors including Q band, R band, B model and H model.
- Enable external triggering in Peak measurement mode.
- Compatible with N8480 power sensors including CFT option.
- Enable hardware triggering for average power measurement
* Enable external triggering in CW measurement mode
* FW implementation to meet the 2048 buffer size memory requirement to store the measured readings up to 2048
* Assertion of external event through TRIG OUT upon measurement completion by handshaking with the synthesizer
* Enable SCPI commands to set the start frequency and an auto frequency step, then enable the meter to step to new freq for each external trigger and returns corrected power readings (user will not need to do the correction at the external PC)
- CCDF graphical display for complex digital modulations
- Backward compatibility with E932x power sensors
- Preset wireless format: WiMAX, HSDPA, DME and DME P-TMP
- Minimum power measurement capability
- Enhancement of Radar/Pulse measurement
- Auto scale and auto gate to fit the pulse to screen
- Duty cycle display for pulse measurement

Bugs fixed:

- Resolved linearity type selection inconsistency.
- Resolved missing trigger output signal in fast mode.
- Resolved measurement inaccuracy for GSM signal.
- Resolved issue where inaccurate average power measurement is obtained when power/frequency sweep in FAST mode and hardware triggering is used
- Resolved negative slope trigger
- Resolved inconsistent rise and fall time measurements.
- Resolved self-test failure on calibrator 

About Device Firmware:

Applying a newer firmware version than the one already installed on your unit can bring various enhancements, include workarounds for diverse problems encountered by the device, and improve or add newly developed features.

On the other hand, downgrading the firmware version can recover the device’s functionality in the event of a software update either turning up faulty or causing the unit’s overall performance to drop. However, bear in mind that applying an older firmware isn’t recommended and might not always be possible.

When it comes to the update steps, due to the large variety of devices and numerous ways for installing a new firmware, it is recommended that you carefully read and understand the upgrade steps, and consider applying a different firmware only when you have familiarized yourself with the update method.

As the installation process is most of the times quite risky, this step should be taken by users that have the ability to successfully complete the update; regular users may initiate it at their own risk. Moreover, it’s best that this task be performed in a steady power environment such as the one ensured by a UPS unit.

Therefore, if you consider applying this release, hit the download button, take into account all the aforementioned aspects, and update the device’s firmware. Also make sure you constantly check with our website to ensure that you don’t miss a single new release.

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
