Basic Digital Operation
Licensing
Signal Studio waveforms can be downloaded to the instrument and placed into
a waveform slot for a 48 hour trial period. This allows you to edit and reuse this
slot for 48 hours. After the 48 hour time period the STATUS of this slot will be
changed to LOCK REQUIRED. This waveform slot now has been consumed and
is no longer available for editing or reuse.
Option 2xx waveform licenses are transceiver specific (i.e. transceiver Host ID /
PCSERNO). If the licensed waveform segment is transferred from one
instrument to another the segment file must be re-licensed on the new
instrument by a multi-pack license on that instrument before it can be played
back.
To license additional waveforms that exceed the number permitted by a
multi-pack option, you must purchase an additional multi-pack option that
you do not already own. For example, if you have Option 221 and need
additional waveforms, you should purchase Option 222. Re-purchasing Option
221 for the same transceiver provides no additional multi-pack licenses.
Waveforms licensed with Options 2xx cannot be exchanged for different
waveforms. Once a waveform is licensed, that license is permanent and
cannot be revoked or replaced.
After licensing a waveform, you can make copies of the waveform using
different file names for use on the same transceiver and even rename the
original file without affecting the waveform license.
You can also use the Option 2xx to license waveforms from N76xxB Signal
Studio software downloaded during its 14–day free trial license. All of the
N76xxB Signal Studio software products provide a 14–day trial period (trial
license). This 14–day trial license lets you download and play back waveforms
during the trial period. These waveforms are denoted by the TRL in the status
message area of the waveform segment catalog. After the trial period expires,
the TRL message is removed but the waveform remains. You can license these
waveforms after the TRL message is gone.
To redeem an additional Option 2xx upgrade, refer to the Entitlement
Certificate that comes with the instrument order.
Installing an Option N7650B–22x/25x Waveform 5/50–Pack
Licensing
1. Load a Waveform 5–Pack license, Option N7650B–22x/25x, into the
transceiver using License Manager or a USB media. For more information
on loading the Waveform 5/50–Pack License, refer to the
N7650B–22x/25x Entitlement Certificate.
