This feature is available only in E4438C ESG Vector Signal Generators with Option 001/601 or 002/602.
NOTE A previous version of Option 409 provided only single satellite (Real Time GPS) capability.

downloading firmware revision C.04.97 to your E4438C ESG.
Single satellite (Real Time GPS) capability in firmware revision C.04.97 is compatible with
the single satellite capability in the previous version of Option 409. (You can use SCPI
programming code written for single satellite setups in the previous version for single
satellite setups in the new version.)
