Enabling or Removing Options
There are two types of options:
• Hardware: Hardware options involve adding additional hardware to the analyzer. After
the proper hardware has been installed in the analyzer, the option can be enabled using
the option enable utility.
It is necessary to re-enable all installed hardware options if the A19 test set
motherboard is replaced.
• Software: Software options add features or functionality to the analyzer without the
need for additional hardware. These options are enabled using the option enable utility
and require a special license key.
NOTE
Some applications require a license key that is provided by Agilent. If you do
not have the required license key, contact Agilent for assistance. Refer to
“Contacting Agilent” on page 2-13.
It is necessary to backup all installed software options if the A10 frequency reference
board is replaced.
