1 Information on the current version and

history

Specified frequency and level setting times for instruments equipped with an
IPC10/2 Controller with firmware version 4.30.005.29 and higher are increased by
typ. 0.2 ms.

Signatures:
As of version 5.30.xxx.xx, only signed updates are released to make the instruments
even more secure.
This will make it possible to detect all future unsigned or manipulated updates.
For more information, see the R&S SMW User Manual.

Through a modified check of the signature, the old releases

4.00.023.20, 4.15.048.29 and 4.20.004.25
generate the following message during the update process:

This message can be ignored, press “Ignore”.

If a spatial channel model preset is loaded and subsequently the antenna

pattern is manually overwritten, changing the IQ stream mapping might
unexpectedly set the changed antenna pattern back to default. 943327

In moving propagation mode with moving channels set to ALL, if Keep

Constant in the Table Setting is set to Res. Doppler Shift it is not possible

Loading a saverecall file in MIMO configurations with the fader 'keep

constant' set to 'Res. Doppler Shift' and afterwards changing the
frequency might result in a wrong update of the speed and the doppler
shift in the path table (for Standard/Fine Delay and Moving Propagation

2 Modifications to the documentation

The current documentation is up-to-date.

Release Notes 1412.9666.00 - 76 85

R&S®SMW200A Firmware update

3 Firmware update
3.1 Update information
R&S firmware releases are thoroughly tested concerning backward compatibility of
features and performance.
A prerequisite for publishing a new firmware release is the fact that according to our
test results a re-calibration is not required after updating an instrument to this new
version.
If a firmware release does not fulfill this prerequisite, a corresponding note will be
placed in the info of the corresponding version.

The update procedure requires that the instrument is operational. There is no need to
uninstall the current firmware. Instrument settings are preserved during the update,
including user data and network settings.

To perform this procedure, USB Storage must be enabled in security settings.

Press the SETUP key, select Security and check USB Storage setting

3.2 Downgrade
Generally, it is not recommended to use an earlier version than the latest version
available. In some cases, the older versions do not support the hardware used in your
instrument. Before installing this firmware, check if this could happen:
► Start System Config / Setup / Instrument Assembly / Versions/Options
► In the tab “Firmware”, you find the Downgrade Info

Example

► If the version to be installed is greater or equal than the “Min.Version”, the

hardware will be supported after downgrading. (However, this cannot be
guaranteed for all software options)
► If the version to be installed is lesser than the “Min.Version”, not all of the
modules will be supported. You instrument will not work after downgrading!

Release Notes 1412.9666.00 - 76 86

R&S®SMW200A Firmware update

► Downgrading may fail using standard rsu-Files (eg. due to changes in the
instrument configuration file). In this case, press PRESET-Button during
power-on or install ISO image available from service department.

3.3 Updating the firmware

Required equipment
Software:
Firmware update file SMW_<version-number>.rsu

Hardware:
USB memory stick with enough free space to save the update file
(about 900 MByte).

The memory stick does not need to be bootable and previous data on the stick is not
affected. Several update files may reside on the stick in parallel. During update
procedure the stick is not modified by the instrument.

Prepare Memory Stick

► Download update file to a PC
► Connect USB stick to PC and copy the update file to the root directory
► Wait until copy procedure has finished and remove USB stick

Install new firmware on R&S®SMW200A

► Connect USB stick to instrument
► Switch on instrument, if instrument is powered off
► Wait a few seconds until “Process Software Update?” message box appears.
Confirm by touching the YES Button or pressing the rotary knob.
► Select firmware version using the arrow keys and press knob to start update
► Wait until ”Software update successful“ message box appears. This may take
several minutes
► Remove USB stick and touch the Reboot button
The instrument now reboots.

Execute internal adjustments (only if indicated)

Internal adjustments can be initiated manually (e.g. after warming up) by performing
the followings steps:

Press on the instrument front panel.

Release Notes 1412.9666.00 - 76 87

R&S®SMW200A Firmware update

Press “Adjust All”. internal instrument adjustments and will take several minutes.
Adjustments requiring external measurement equipment are not affected by the
firmware update and need not to be performed.

3.4 Alternative update procedures

The USB firmware update is recommended for most situations. However, alternative
methods for updating the firmware are available:

3.4.1 Firmware update over LAN

Instrument settings are preserved during the update, including user data and network
settings.
► Get access to the file system of the instrument using ftp (other methods like
samba share is also supported, see application note 1GP72 for details).
Enter in the file manager
► Copy SMW_<version-number>.rsu to directory update
► The update procedure starts immediately
► Execute internal adjustments, if indicated

3.4.2 Firmware update using ISO image

Potential loss of data!

User data and user specific instrument settings will be lost during this procedure.
Instrument serial number, software license keys and all adjustments requiring external
measuring equipment are not affected.

Required equipment
Software:
ISO image for firmware update SMW_<version-number>.iso
Please contact the service department to get this file!
Hardware:
► External USB CD or DVD ROM burner with USB cable.
► 1 CD Recordable.
► PC with burn program that can burn ISO images onto CD.

About ISO image

Release Notes 1412.9666.00 - 76 88

R&S®SMW200A Firmware update

This is a standardized file format for creating CD images. A CD image is a single file
encapsulating the whole data of a CD including directories and files. Unpacking the
image to a CD restores the original data. Almost any CD burning program is able to
write CDs based on ISO images.

Update procedure
Burn ISO image onto CD
On most computers, burning an ISO image can be initiated by simply double clicking
the ISO image file. If this is not the case, the manual procedure is similar to the
following instructions. Nero Burning ROM (StartSmart) is used in this example.

► Connect the external USB CD/DVD drive to the PC

► Insert CD recordable
► Start Nero StartSmart
► Select medium „CD“
► Select „Create Data CD“
► From the Files menu, open file SMW_<version-number>.iso
► Click "Burn"
► When finished, close Nero and disconnect external USB CD/DVD drive

Install new firmware on R&S®SMW200A

► Instrument must be switched off
► Connect the external USB CD/DVD drive to the R&S®SMW200A
► Switch on Instrument
► The instrument boots from external drive
► Follow the instructions on screen
► Disconnect the external USB device
► Reboot instrument
► Execute internal adjustments, if indicated

If the CD refuses to boot please ensure that you have burned the ISO-image as an
“image” and not as a single file. Check the CD regarding presence of several files.
