Introduction
Installing Optional Measurement Personalities
When you install a measurement personality, you need to follow a three step
process:
1. Determine whether your memory capacity is sufficient to contain all the
options you want to load. If not, decide which options you want to install now,
and consider upgrading your memory. Details follow in “Do You Have Enough
Memory to Load All Your Personality Options?” on page 31.
2. Install the measurement personality firmware into the instrument memory.
Details follow in “Loading an Optional Measurement Personality” on page 35.
3. Enter a license key that activates the measurement personality. Details follow
in “Obtaining and Installing a License Key” on page 35.
Adding measurement personalities requires the purchase of an upgrade kit for the
desired option. The upgrade kit contains the measurement personality firmware
and an entitlement certificate that is used to generate a license key from the
internet website. A separate license key is required for each option on a specific
instrument serial number and host ID.

Do You Have Enough Memory to Load All Your Personality
Options?
If you do not have memory limitations, go to the next section “Loading an
Optional Measurement Personality” on page 35. If after installing your options you
get error messages relating to memory issues, you can return to this section to learn
more about how to optimize your configuration.
If you have 64 MBytes of memory installed in your instrument, you should have
enough memory to install at least four optional personalities, with enough memory
for data and states.
The optional measurement personalities require different amounts of memory. So
the number of personalities that you can load varies. This is also impacted by how
much data you need to save. If you are having memory errors you must swap the
applications in or out of memory as needed. If you only have 48 MBytes of
memory, you can upgrade your hardware to 64 MBytes.
Additional memory can be added to any PSA Series analyzer by installing Option
115 (512 MB extended memory). With this option installed, you can install all
currently available measurement personalities in your analyzer and still have
memory space to store more state and trace files than would otherwise be possible.
