Since 2021/11/01 it is possible that you receive the following message in the Certification Tool: “new firmware is available”.

There is no need to update the firmware of your TestTool, this message is related to a new batch of hardware which is shipped with a newer firmware. The firmware update contains improvements for the production, justification and calibration procedure which improves overall accuracy and lead time during the manufacturing process but it does not affect the test and measurement capabilities in any way. This firmware update will not be provided for existing TestTool devices.

 

The Certification Tool knows two states for firmware: “minimum” and “latest”.

As long as your TestTool contains the minimum firmware version you can continue testing and certification.

In case we release a mandatory upgrade (change the minimum version) you will be notified via a separate e-mail and a publication on the “Members Area” on our website. If this is the case an additional message will be shown in the Certification Tool: “you must upgrade your TestTool firmware” and the certification report option will be disabled.

Supported firmware versions are:

Control: 1.2 & 1.16

DUT:1.2
