Frequent Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can customers use WN7 option to upgrade Win 7 by themselves?
A: No, the regional SSU needs to perform all installation steps.
???
Q: Is a calibration required after the SSU installs Windows 7 using
either option WN7 or Option PC1?
A: No, since the calibration data is stored in the measurement
modules and not on the HDD. All that the regional SSU needs to
do is install the software onto the HDD.
Q: My customer has a B150xA running Windows 7 and is experiencing performance issues. Is there any reason for them to upgrade their hardware (PC1)?
A: If your customer is experiencing slow PC performance then it might help.
However, in many cases the customer’s HDD contains so many test results, test setups
and workspaces that the PC and HDD are overloaded. Therefore, before ordering the
PC1 option we recommend to have them first try cleaning up their HDD. We also
recommend using a remote data server or controlling the instrument remotely to avoid
filling up the instrument’s HDD.
