在N9923A上更新固件时总是失败

我有一台FieldFor N9923A VNA，它是从安捷伦发货的，固件版本为A.06.02。
但正如am95405所指出的，此固件版本不适用于Data Link软件。
所以我试着将固件从A06.02降级到A.05.51，这是我能为该仪器找到的最新版本。
（在过去的24-48小时内，安捷伦似乎从网站上撤下了A.06.02）。
但我改变固件版本的努力总是失败。
这就是我所做的。
1）将文件http://na.tm.agilent.com/fieldfo ... /N9923A_A.05.51.ZIP下载到我的Windoze 7笔记本电脑上的硬盘上。
2）使用Winzip将文件提取到USB记忆棒的根（顶级）目录。
这将创建一个39,964 kB的单个文件“N9923A”。
3）关闭N9923A - * NOT *待机。
4）将USB记忆棒插入N9923A 5）打开N9923A电源。
启动过程后，它会加载网络分析器应用程序。
它*不*进入我可以更改固件版本的任何菜单。
在此之后没有进入任何软件来更新固件，我尝试了各种各样的东西。
a）更换了USB插槽。
b）更换了USB记忆棒。
我总共使用了5个：*一个标记为“Duracel”（32 GB）*另一个标记为“Sandisk”（16 GB）*另一个标记为“SSK USB 3.0”（64 GB）*另一个标记为“Ansys”，提供
在参加由Ansys参加HFSS的课程时，对我来说。
我不记得这个的大小，但它可能是8 GB或更少。
*又一个徽章“Ansys” - 来自另一个HFSS课程。
c）将Sandisk USB记忆棒重新格式化为FAT32，并将Zip文件第二次解压缩。
*其中没有一个有效。*我想如果我在我家附近打猎，我会找到更多记忆棒，但我会想到尝试5（承认两个Ansys可能是相同的，因为它们看起来相同）
，我应该可以更改固件版本。
我所拥有的N9923A是S / N US49470148。
它是在eBay上直接从安捷伦购买的，作为“Certi Prime”单元。
它有选项* 308矢量电压表* 305电缆和天线分析仪* 302功率计* 112 Quckcal * 010时域* 122全S参数* 106 6 GHz。
（我相信它们都是可选的，尽管自从我一个月前支付了这个单元以来可能已经发布了一个）。
我尝试将文件保存到其中一个记忆棒中。
这工作得很好。
当我在VNA中查找文件时，它会看到文件N9923A。
如果安捷伦的某个人确实有一个记忆棒确实可以工作，那么他们可能会在帖子里贴一个记忆棒。
您应该能够从安捷伦订货号3192983获取我的地址。我的名字也在下面。
还有其他想法吗？

  I have a FieldFor N9923A VNA, which was shipped from Agilent with firmware  A.06.02. But as was pointed out by am95405, this firmware version does not work with the Data Link software. So I tried to downgrade the firmware from A06.02 to A.05.51, which is the latest I can find for that instrument. (It seems Agilent have pulled A.06.02 from the web site in the last 24-48 hours).

But my efforts to change the firmware version are always failing. This is what I've done.

1) Downloaded the file http://na.tm.agilent.com/fieldfo ... /N9923A_A.05.51.ZIP to the hard disk on my Windoze 7 laptop.
2) Extracted the file using Winzip to the root (top-level) directory of the USB stick. This creates a single file "N9923A" of 39,964 kB.
3) Powered the N9923A right off - *NOT* standby.
4) Inserted the USB stick into the N9923A
5) Powered on the N9923A. After the bootup process, it loads the network analyzer application. It does *not* go into any menus where I can change the firmware version.

After this did not go into any software to update the firmware, I've tried various things.

a) Changed the USB slot.
b) Changed the USB stick. I've used 5 in total:

* One badged "Duracel" (32 GB)
* Another badged "Sandisk" (16 GB)
* Another badged "SSK USB 3.0" (64 GB)
* Another badged  "Ansys", which was supplied to me when attending a course by Ansys on HFSS. I can't recall the size of this, but it is probably 8 GB or less.
* Yet another badged "Ansys" - from yet another HFSS course.

c) Reformated the Sandisk USB stick as FAT32, and extracted the Zip file to that for a second time.

*Not one of these has  worked.*

I guess if I hunt around my house, I'll find some more memory sticks, but I would have thought trying 5 (admittidly the two Ansys ones are probably the same, as they look identical), I should be able to change the firmware version.

The N9923A I have is S/N US49470148. It was bought on eBay dirrectly from Agilent as a "Certi Prime" unit. It has options

* 308 Vector voltmeter
* 305 Cable amd Antenna Analyzer
* 302 Power meter
* 112 Quckcal
* 010 Time domain
* 122 Full S parameters
* 106 6 GHz.

(I believe they are all the options, though there might have been one released since I paid for the unit about a month ago).

I tried saving a file to one of the memory sticks. That worked fine. When I looked for files in the VNA, it see the file N9923A.

If someone at Agilent has a memory stick that definately does work, perhaps they could stick me one in the post. You should be able to get my address from the Agilent order number 3192983. I've stuck my real name below too.

Any other ideas?
