Installation Instructions

    • Download the zipped file and extract it on USB memory stick.
    • Insert the memory stick into FRA5310 USB port.
    • We recommend to remove the old version before installing a new one:
      Start / Control Panel / Add or Remove Programs / FRA5310
    • Launch Windows Explorer, and go to the directory where the zipped file extracted.
    • Double click on setup.exe to start installation.

Upgrade from v1.7.1 and earlier

 

 

 

  • Measurement, analysis and factory calibration data files (.xml) saved by application software v1.7.1 and earlier will not be opened by v2.0.0 and later any more.
    • The new extension name for measurement file is .hfm, for analysis file is .hfa.
    • The new factory calibration file name is FRA5210.hfc instead of Calibration.xml.
    • Using FRA5310_Converter to convert the data files from v1.0 (xml format) to v2.0 (binary format).
    • Following files will be handled:
      1. factory calibration file (only for FRA5310 instrument).
      2. all measurement files under folder ...\My Document\HTAG\FRA5310\Measurement\ and its subfolders.
      3. all analysis files under folder ...\My Document\HTAG\FRA5310\Analysis\ and its subfolders.
