Enabling Options
The ESG Family Signal Generators are a highly flexible platform of instruments that you
can retrofit after purchase to add many new capabilities. Some new optional features are
implemented in hardware that you must install. Some options are implemented in
software but require the presence of optional hardware in the instrument. This example
shows you how to enable both hardware and software options.
Enabling a Hardware Option
1. When you purchase a new hardware option for your signal generator, the hardware and
instructions for installing the hardware will be included in a kit that you receive. Follow
the installation instructions to retrofit your signal generator with the new hardware.
2. Next, on the signal generator press
Utility > Instrument Adjustments > Hardware Options to
access the Hardware Options menu. An example of the signal generator display follows:
The display indicates which options are currently enabled for the signal generator. In
this case Option UN3 is enabled, as indicated by the X placed in the “Selected” column.
3. Highlight the new option that you have just installed. (Use the up/down arrow keys or
the front panel knob.)
4. Press
Select Item. An X will be placed in the “Selected” column.
Two other selection keys are available in this menu to help you identify the proper
options to be enabled.
Deselect Item removes the X from the “Selected” column in the
highlighted option.
