The R&S LCX scans the USB memory device for software file types. It indicates
the versions of the currently installed and the latest available firmware, including
date and build information.
8. Select the software version you want to install.
9. Select "Update".
The software update starts.
Note: Interrupting the power supply during the firmware update only causes the
update to fail. After the update, the R&S LCX automatically reboots and confirms
with "Success" or "Failed".
However, we recommend that you do not power off the instrument until the update
is completed.
When completed, the R&S LCX confirms that it is ready for operation.
9.12 Save/recall
The "Save/Recall" function enables you to save a certain configuration in a file and
reload it for later reuse.
On power-on, the R&S LCX starts up in the configuration you used before switching
off. It saves the configuration, including autosaved settings in the internal memory
automatically.
With a USB flash drive connected, you can save a file on either the internal memory or
the USB flash drive, with "Internal" as default setting. Without USB connected, the
R&S LCX saves the file internally in the file path /int/settings.
9.12.1 Save/recall settings
With the "Save/Recall Device Settings" functions, you can save the complete instru-
ment settings in files, and reload the settings for reuse.
Access:
1. Press the [settings] key at the front panel.
2. In the "Device" tab, select "Save/Recall Device Settings".
