Solution/Action:
STEP 1. Determine if the analyzer needs the firmware upgrade.
1 Set the power switch to ON.
2 After the analyzer finishes its power-up calibration routine,
press the following keys:
[ System Utility ]
[ more ]
[ firmware version ]
3 If the Revision ID code is A.09.04 or greater, you may not
need to update the firmware.
STEP 2. Order firmware update kit for your analyzer and install
new firmware.
The firmware installation procedure for the 89400 Series
analyzers is straightforward. The analyzers are equipped with
reprogrammable operating firmware which can be reprogrammed using
the analyzer’s internal disk drive.
