How to Check Your FRA Firmware Revision Levels

To determine if your FRA has the required firmware revisions to work with Stability Analysis Software Version 6, open the "Analyzer Control Menu" window the the Stability Analysis Software.  Click on the "ver?" button near the bottom of the window, and the  FRA's current firmware revision levels will be displayed.  The Version 6 recommended firmware revision levels are:

1.) Application F/W ver. 4.4,  

2.)  Communication F/W ver 3.0 (minimum), and

3.)  Bootloader F/W ver 1.6.

If your FRA does not have the minimum required firmware revisions, you will not be able to use Venable Stability Analysis Software Version 6.  If you need to update your firmware, please contact us so we may assist (you will not need to return your instrument and firmware updates do NOT affect calibration).

Version 6 is intended for current models of Venable FRAs, and will not work with legacy instruments (e.g. 5060, 350a/b, 3XXX, etc.).
