9500C High-Performance Oscilloscope Calibrator Firmware Update
To update a Fluke 9500C with new firmware, follow these steps.
An empty USB stick (of greater than 10Mbytes) will be required. This should be formatted using the Microsoft FAT32 format.
Note: A Microsoft NTFS or exFAT formatted USB stick is not compatible with the instrument.
- Expand the downloaded ‘update’ zip file and copy the contents onto the empty USB stick. The firmware file ends with a “.swu” filename and this needs to be in the root directory of the USB stick.
- Turn off the instrument, and then insert the USB stick into one of the front or rear USB slots, and then turn the instrument back on.
- Confirm the firmware update when the unit displays a screen requesting confirmation to INSTALL or SKIP. Select INSTALL to proceed with the update.
- The instrument will display progress bars during the update and will take several minutes. Do not turn the unit off during this process.
- After the update, the unit will reset.
- Verify the firmware was updated by checking the Main SW Version in the SETUP -> ABOUT screen
