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.
