Enabling a Software Option
1. A license key is required to enable each software option. This license key is provided on
the license key certificate that you receive when you purchase the software option.
Access the Software Options menu by pressing
Utility > Instrument Adjustments > Software
Options. An example of the signal generator display follows:
Verify that the host ID shown on the display matches the host ID on the license key
certificate. The host ID is a unique number for every instrument. If the host ID on the
license key certificate does not match your instrument, the license key cannot enable
the software option.
2. On the display is a list of software options that are already enabled (if any) and the
software options that can be enabled. Software options are linked to specific hardware
options. Before a software option can be enabled, the appropriate hardware option must
be installed. For example, Option UN5, Multi-Channel CDMA, requires that
Option UND, Internal Dual Arbitrary Waveform Generator, be installed. If the software
option that you intend to install is listed in a grey font, the required hardware may not
be installed. (Look for an X in the “Selected” column of the appropriate hardware option
in the Hardware Options menu.)
3. To enable the software option, highlight the desired option using the up/down arrow
keys or the front panel knob.
4. Press
Modify License Key. Enter the 12-character license key (from your license key
certificate) using the softkeys and numeric keypad. When you have finished, press the
Enter terminator softkey.
5. Press
Proceed With Reconfiguration > Confirm Change to verify that you do want to
reconfigure the signal generator with the options for which you have provided a license
key. The instrument will enable the options and reboot.
