Download and install the latest instrument firmware

Installing the latest firmware helps ensure that your instrument has the lastest features and is taking the most accurate
measurements.
To access the user interface on a Low Profile instrument, connect a monitor to a video port on the rear of the instrument, and
connect a mouse to any USB Host port. You do not need to connect a mouse if your remote monitor is touch-capable. You can
also remotely access the user interface of a network-connected instrument by entering the instrument's IP address in a web
browser.
Prerequisite: Save any important on-instrument files (waveforms, screen captures, setups, and so on) to a USB drive or network.
The installation process does not remove user-created files, but it is a good idea to back up important files before an update.
Prerequisite: Determine the current version of firmware installed on the instrument (see Help > About).
