How to: Upload new firmware to RF Explorer
RF Explorer firmware updates are available for free. The main goal is to expand this little device with more functionality as required by users and also enable software functionality when new features are available with RF Explorer expansion modules.
We recommend upgrading your device with latest available firmware, it is a safe process and you can always go back to your previous firmware if needed. An important note is you must always check the device model you are going to upgrade: if you try to upload a Signal Generator firmware into a Spectrum Analyzer device, you will likely destroy internal calibration data. The Uploader tool will ask you before doing any action.
Firmware v1.12 and newer can be installed from Linux, Windows or MacOS X. Click on the OS icon for specific link.
