Agilent G1323B firmware update (GameBoy)

[koenvanderdrift]

Our lab obtained a used G1323B handheld module to use with our 1100 systems. When I plug it in one of the CAN ports, it boots, but keeps rebooting itself. My guess is the firmware is outdated. The current one is B.02.01, the most recent one from Agilent is B.04.03. I found the software online, when I run it I get a Command screen with several options, but none of them seems to be doing anything to update the module.

Any tips on what I need to do to get the handheld firmware update to work?

You may need to get the firmware on a memory card (Compact Flash I believe) and update it that way.

I found a Firmware Update Tool on the Agilent website and was able to update the firmware of the controller to the latest version. It all works fine now.
