3. File browsing or downloading

Open a file stored on the oscilloscope directly in your browser, or save a single file or all files to your computer.

l Open the web report file saved on the oscilloscope directly on the browser

Click on the file browse in the menu in Figure 2 to enter the interface as shown in Figure 4, and then click on the web report file you want to browse.

Files that can be browsed directly refer to files that can be opened on the browser itself, such as web reports. For other files that cannot be opened directly on the browser, when we click the corresponding file with the left mouse button, a selection box will appear first, and we can open it directly or save it directly to the computer, as shown in Figure 5:

When we need to save multiple files to the computer, we can use this function. The specific operation is shown in Figure 7. After selecting the files to be saved, click Download, a prompt box will pop up, and then choose to save to the location you want to save. (If there are many files to download, it may take some time, and you can observe the progress bar for details.)

4. Online firmware upgrade

The firmware upgrade of the oscilloscope is not only done through a USB flash drive, but can now be done online directly on a computer, as shown in Figure 8: First, select the firmware to be upgraded, and then upload the firmware.

Figure 8 Online firmware upgrade

Taking the ZDS4000 series firmware upgrade as an example, the steps are as follows:

l Unzip the upgrade package and copy the unzipped "ZDS4000" folder to the root directory of the USB flash drive, that is, the directory in the USB flash drive is ZDS4000\code;

l Insert the upgrade USB disk, power on the oscilloscope, and turn it on. The oscilloscope will automatically enter the upgrade interface. The upgrade will take several minutes, so please wait patiently.

After the upgrade is completed, the buzzer will sound and the system will automatically restart. The upgrade is now complete and you can remove the USB flash drive.
