Upgrade Instruction Overview

NOTE. Third-party software applications are included to use with your logic
analyzer. These applications may include software license agreements. Be sure
to abide by those license agreements.

While performing the upgrade procedures, keep the following items in mind:
Throughout this procedure you will see the term "log on as Administrator."
The instrument is set up to automatically log on as Administrator (with no
password) so you may not see the log on prompt. If the network setups have
been changed on your instrument, make sure that you log on as Administrator
or as a user who has administrator privileges. Failure to do so can prevent the
software upgrade from completing successfully.
After logging on as administrator, quit any applications.
If your instrument does not display the file extensions, you need to change
your folder options to display the file extensions. (From the Control Panel,
double-click Folder Options, select the View tab, and then deselect the "Hide
file extensions for known file types" selection.)
Use the Microsoft Windows Add or Remove Programs Control Panel utility
to remove existing software.
You may be asked to restart the instrument after you install each software
package. If you do not restart the instrument when prompted, your software
may not install properly and can cause unpredictable behavior.
If the instrument does not restart normally, press and hold the On/Standby
button for five or six seconds to force a shutdown.
Update the Software

NOTE. You may want to compare the software version listed under Software
Compatibility in the release notes against the software on your instrument. If the
software versions do not match, remove the old software using the Microsoft
Windows Add or Remove Programs utility and then install the new software from
the TLA Application CD.
TLA Application Software The TLA Application software uses a wizard to remove older software and install
the new software for your instrument.
1. Log on as Administrator.
2. Insert the first CD of the TLA Application software in the instrument.
3. Start Windows Explorer, and browse to and execute D:\TLA Application
SW\Setup.exe.
4. Click Yes to start the installation.
5. Follow any on-screen instructions. If you are asked for permission to
overwrite any read-only files, select Yes to All.
6. After the software has been successfully installed, restart your instrument.

Other Software Complete the following instructions to install other software from the TLA
Application Software CD:
2. Insert the TLA Application software CD in the instrument.
3. Start Windows Explorer, and browse the CD to look for your software (you
might need to browse the second CD if you can’t find the software that you
are looking for).
4. Double-click the executable file for the software and follow the on-screen
instructions.
NOTE. When you reinstall the CheckIt Utilities software, you will be prompted
for a serial number; use U7-999999.
Follow the instructions to install the NI-GPIB software to use with iView. (See
page 32, Install the NI-GPIB Software.)
5. After the software has been successfully installed, restart your instrument.
Upgrade the Instrument Firmware

Complete the following steps if the TLA startup messages indicate that you need
to upgrade the instrument firmware:
2. Exit the logic analyzer application.
3. Click Start → All Programs → Tektronix Logic Analyzer → TLA Firmware
Loader.
4. Select your instrument from the Firmware Loader - Connection dialog box
and click Connect.
5. Select the module from the Supported list box near the top of the window.
6. Select Load Firmware from the Execute menu.
7. Click the TLA520x.lod file.

9. When the process is complete, exit the firmware loader program.

Upgrade the Mainframe BIOS (Instruments with Serial Numbers B020000 to

B049999 Only)
Use the following steps to determine if you need to upgrade the BIOS on the
logic analyzer mainframe:
1. Restart the logic analyzer and then press function key F2 repeatedly to enter
the BIOS setup.
2. For TLA5000 instruments with serial numbers from B020000 to B039999,
check that the version string ends in P24 or higher. For TLA5000B
instruments with serial numbers from B040000 to B049999, check that the
third field of the BIOS version string is 4089 or highter.
3. If you have the correct version, skip the remaining steps in this procedure.
Restart the instrument, or press the Escape key, and answer OK to discard
any changes and exit (this allows the instrument to restart).
4. To update the BIOS, complete the following steps:
a. Connect to the internet and go to one of the following Web sites:
For instruments with serial numbers B020000 to B039999, go to
http://developer.intel.com/design/motherbd/lc/lc_bios.htm.
For instruments with serial numbers B040000 to B049999, go to
http//www.intel.com/products/motherboard/d945gtp/tools.htm.
b. Review the information on the Web site about the Express BIOS update
and then download the file and copy it to your instrument desktop.
c. Close all applications on your instrument and then execute the file that
you just downloaded.
NOTE. Do not power down the instrument until the upgrade is complete.
d. Follow the on-screen instructions.

The logic analyzer will update the BIOS and the screen will be blank.
During the update processes you will hear several beeps and then the
instrument will restart. A message will appear on the screen when the
upgrade is complete.
The upgrade process should not change the BIOS settings of your
instrument. If the screen remains blank, the video BIOS settings might
have been reset. Complete the following steps to recover from any
problems:
5. Connect an external monitor to the video port near the RS-232 port.
6. Restart the instrument and then press function key F2 to enter the BIOS setup.

The BIOS screen should appear on the external monitor.

7. Use the keyboard or front panel keys to change the BIOS settings.
