Diagnostics

The password-protected Diagnostics menu of the User’s

Software can be used if you experience a problem with your

8718B. Narda may be able to troubleshoot the problem using

the built-in diagnostic tools of the User’s Software. Contact

Narda if you believe the meter is not functioning properly.

Update Meter Firmware

A powerful feature of the Model 8718B is the ability to update its

operating software, or firmware, in the field. The password-

protected Update Meter Firmware menu of the User’s Software

is used to update the firmware. Narda may periodically offer

new firmware to correct problems and/or to add new features.
The update process uses the meter’s memory to temporarily

store files during the update process. All logged data will be

lost. Therefore, it is very important to download any data that you

want to save prior to updating the firmware.
