Step1 - If FieldFox Data Link Software is already installed on your PC, check the revision level by starting the Data Link application and then Help > About Meas Software.

Step 2 - Skip this step if the Data Link software has not been previously installed on the PC or if the revision installed on the PC is 1.52 or later. Otherwise, complete this step as follows:

  • Close the Data Link application if it is open.
  • If you have created information in the Data Link application that you want to preserve, save the following directories under c:\Program Files\Keysight\FFDLS_1.5: Cables, Calkits, Data, Reports. Save the directories in an area under c:\temp.
  • Uninstall the existing Data Link application via Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs. Highlight ff_data_link then click Remove.

Step 3 - Download the update file from FieldFox Data Link Software. It is about 270 MB.

Step 4 - Execute the update file you just downloaded. This will install the software. The installation process will take about ten minutes. If prompted for the Keysight IO Libraries Suite, select a ­typical­ installation.

Step 5 - If you saved directories in Step 2, copy those files into the appropriate locations in the new installation.
