Programming Model and Serial Numbers
Since the instrument model and serial numbers are stored only on the A7 
Midplane board assembly, this information will be lost when this board 
assembly is replaced. Until the instrument model and serial numbers are 
restored the instrument application software will not allow any user 
measurements to be made, due to the fact that all previously installed license 
keys will not be accepted. However, the license files will not be automatically 
deleted. Once the model and serial numbers are restore the license files will 
then be recognized and accepted, returning the instrument to the capability 
that was available prior to the A7 Midplane board assembly replacement.
To program the model and serial numbers into a replacement A7 Midplane 
board assembly the N7818A Keysight MXE EMI Receiver Calibration 
Application Software will be required.

Application Software can be found at:

When the calibration software first detects the instrument it will recognize that 
it does not have a valid model and serial number and will prompt the user to 
enter the correct values.
Since the instrument model and serial numbers are stored on the A7 Midplane 
board assembly, this should only be required when this assembly has been 
replaced with a new one.
Be very careful when entering the instrument serial number into the software, because once it 
has been written it can no longer be changed.
