Configuring a Replacement Flash Memory Assembly
Configuring a Replacement Flash Memory
Assembly
Description
When the Flash memory board is replaced, it is necessary to
reconfigure it with certain data that is critical for instrument operation.
The Flash memory board contains the operating system, main
firmware, measurement personality firmware, license key number, IP
address and host name, and synthesizer calibration data.
The main—core—firmware is the programing that instructs the
instrument to be a transmitter tester and the optional measurement
personality firmware that determines which personality is available.
License key numbers enable the measurement personalities stored in
the firmware. All measurement personalities reside in the main
firmware, but they cannot be enabled unless the option has been
purchased and a license key number has been issued. The synthesizer
calibration data—LO tuning constants (MHZ/volt tuning
sensitivities)—are obtained by performing “Synthesizer Adjustment
Number Two”.
The replacement Flash memory assembly will already have the
operating system and firmware installed. The license key numbers for
each option must be reloaded to enable the option. If possible, it is best
to capture this information from the instrument before replacing the
Flash memory board. Refer to “Capturing Critical Data for the CPU
Board” on page 241, for additional information.
NOTE If the instrument is not functional, contact the owner for the license key
numbers. The user’s guide has a table in the getting started section
where the end user may have recorded the license key numbers. Also,
the end user may have the License Key Certificate that has the license
key number on it. Additionally, you may contact Agilent Technologies
sales and service office for the information. To contact the Agilent
Technologies sales and service office refer to “Contacting Agilent
Technologies” on page 60.
