E5070B/71B Network Analyzers Firmware Update

Please note that you DO NOT need to return your ENA to Keysight service center for performing the adjustment. The ENA firmware upgrade can easily be performed on your own with the information and tools available on this Web page.

Download Instructions for Firmware Update

1. Click on the "E5070B/71B Firmware Revision X.XX" listed below the page. Copy the file (.exe) to a temporary directory (e.g. C:TEMP) on your computer's hard drive.
2. Extract the files by selecting the temporary directory and unzip the .exe file by double-clicking on the file.

Warning

• Only install this firmware on the E5070B/71B. Attempting to install this firmware to the E5070A/71A / E5071C could make them malfunction. If you are the E5071C user, please refer to the download page for the E5071C.
• Only install this firmware on the E5070B/71B. Do not attempt to install this firmware on a PC as this may render it unusable.

Caution

The firmware Rev. 8.01 or later can not be installed onto the analyzer, if your E5070B/71B meets all of following conditions. Please ask Keysight service center to replace the internal hard disk drive.

1. Shipped before October 2002.
2. The serial number is JP1KK00114 or lower for E5070B, JP1KK00205 or lower for E5071B.
3. Furnished with the originally shipped hard disk drive.
4. The volume label of C drive on the hard disk drive is "CP300".

Known Issue for Rev. 8.11 (This has been fixed in Rev. 9.10)

• Calculation of Z conversion (Zr and Zt) does not work properly if you set imaginary value to port impedance.
• Absolute value measurement does not work properly if you measure absolute value using external SG control feature.

Known Issue for Rev. 6.51 (This has been fixed in Rev. 8.01)

• Scalar mixer calibration function does not work properly. The traces is not updated after executing scalar mixer calibration.

Known Issues for Rev. 6.50 (These have been fixed in Rev. 6.51)

• Once Ecal has been executed, part of fixture simulator function does not work properly. As a workaround, please turn off then turn on the fixture simulator (Press Analysis>Fixture Simulator>OFF then Analysis>Fixture Simulator ON).
• Traces which are not displayed on the screen is not saved properly by the save SnP function when the port extension function is turned on. If you have to output touchstone data with port extension, please display all traces on the screen.
• De-embedding s4p function does not work properly with other fixture simulator function, which is related with single-ended parameters. For example, when 4-port embedding is applied on port1 and port2, applying port Z conversion to port3 will cause De-embedding s4p on port1 and port2 to not work properly.

Special Notes for Rev. 3.54 and later

An initial source port control feature for transient voltage protection caused by an external DC source is added in the firmware 3.54 and later. Please refer to the "Firmware update notice and Notes when using external DC power supply" listed below when the firmware is updated.
