A BIOS update has been released for the motherboard contained within the HDO4000 and HDO6000 oscilloscopes. This updated BIOS prevents the oscilloscope from entering a state where is it unable to be booted under certain circumstances and also provides a fix for a problem where the oscilloscope display is incorrect when using the HDMI port to output video.

Directions to Install:

1. Copy the BIOS files contained within the HDO-BIOS-UPDATE folder to a USB key.

2. Power on the oscilloscope and exit the oscilloscope scope application by clicking File -> Exit.

3. Insert a memory key into the oscilloscope USB port.

4. Run the “flash.bat” file. The BIOS update process will begin.

5. A DOS screen will appear and perform the update. When the update is complete the window will automatically close.

6. Power down the oscilloscope and restart.

About BIOS:

Although installing a newer BIOS version might add new features, update various components, or improve the device’s usability, this process is very risky, so the upgrade is recommended to be performed only when it is really needed.

In addition to that, this task should be performed by someone who has the knowledge to successfully complete the installation; regular users may fulfill it at their own risk.

When it comes to applying a new version without taking into account the computer’s operating system, the most commonly used method to flash the BIOS is by creating a bootable USB or CD containing the update file, and running it from DOS.

Still, regardless of the method used or whether the upgrade is performed by a regular or power user, it’s recommended that the new BIOS be applied in a steady power environment such as the one ensured by a UPS unit.

The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) is a very important software that loads the currently installed OS, and tests all of the system’s hardware components – so make sure you flash it correctly.

Bear in mind that failing to perform a successful installation could seriously damage your device, and the faulty BIOS resulted from the process might even render it unusable.

So, if this release includes useful changes, hit the download button, get the package, and update your BIOS version. Otherwise, check with our website as often as possible, so that you don’t miss the release that you need. 

It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available
