X-StreamDSO Firmware Update
The firmware installer updates multiple oscilloscope
components including the base application, required
DLLs, device drivers and low-level microcode for
integrated circuits.
The update does not modify or delete any saved panel
setups, waveforms, screen captures, calibration
constants, or other data stored on the D: drive.
Caution: Do not install any XStreamDSO version
prior to 8.6.1.x on Windows 10 oscilloscopes,
and 8.6.1.8 on WavePro HD oscilloscopes in
particular. Doing so will prevent the oscilloscope
from running in the non-administrative user
account, and you will need to run the recovery
procedure. To install firmware or third-party
software on Windows 10 machines, you must
be logged on as user LCRYADMIN or supply the
password SCOPEADMIN.The installation may
take several minutes. Do not power down at any
point during the process.
