Basic Digital Operation (Option 651/652/654)Waveform Licensing for Firmware Version ≥ A.01.50Waveform Licensing Warning MessagesFigure 8-38This standard warning isdisplayed every time awaveform is selected to belocked. This notificationindicates that one of theavailable “license slots” isabout to be used fromOption 2xx.ALWAYS makebackup copies ofwaveforms in aseparatenon–volatile memoryin case a file isdeleted or lost fromthe instrument’sinternal storage.This warning is displayedwhen an attempt is madeto lock a waveform thathas not been saved tointernal storage or USBmedia (i.e. waveformscannot be locked unlessthey have been stored tonon–volatile memory).Press the BackupWaveform To Int Storagesoftkey.This warning is displayedwhen there is insufficientmemory or other problemswith the internal storage,or USB media(non–volatile memory) andthe waveform could not besaved to non–volatilememory.This warning is displayedwhen the waveform filecannot be found in BBG orinternal storage. You mustensure that the waveformstill resides in theinstrument before you canlock it.236 Agilent N5161A/62A/81A/82A/83A MXG Signal Generators User’s Guide
Basic Digital Operation (Option 651/652/654)Waveform 5–Pack Licensing (Options 221–229) for Firmware Version < A.01.50Waveform 5–Pack Licensing (Options 221–229) for Firmware Version < A.01.50Waveform 5–Pack licensing enables you to create, generate, and permanently license up to 45 SignalStudio waveforms (e.g. Each Option 22x enables licensing of five waveforms (Option 221, 222, 223,229).Use the signal generator to manage the licensing of these waveforms. For example, you can use thesignal generator to select individual waveforms for licensing and you can view a list of all currentlylicensed waveforms.Understanding Waveform 5–Pack LicensingWaveforms licensed with 5–Pack cannot be exchanged. Once a waveform is licensed, that license ispermanent and cannot be revoked or replaced. Option 22x waveform licenses are signal generatorspecific (i.e. signal generator serial number specific).Waveform 5–Pack licensing enables you to create and generate signals which can be saved forunlimited use in a signal generator (i.e. Waveform 5–Pack Option 22x is a perpetual fixed waveformlicense).Use the Signal Studio software to build and download waveforms to the signal generator’s volatilememory to be played. When you are satisfied with the waveform, it must be stored to non–volatilememory before it can be licensed.If a licensed Option 22x waveform file is transferred to another signal generator, the file must belicensed by a separate Option 22x that is in the other signal generator before it can be played. Formore information on extracting and downloading waveform files, refer to the Programming Guide.To license additional waveforms that exceed the number permitted by an Option 22x, you mustpurchase an Option 22x that you do not already own. For example if you already own Option 221with only two remaining licenses and you need ten more waveforms, purchase Options 222 and 223to have enough licenses to license ten more waveforms. This would leave two remaining licenses onOption 223. (Repurchasing Option 221 a second time, for the same signal generator, gives you noadditional Waveform 5–Pack licenses.)After licensing a waveform, you can make copies of the waveform using different file names for useon the same signal generator and even rename the original file without affecting the waveformlicense.You can also use the Option 22x to license waveforms from N76xxB Signal Studio softwaredownloaded during its 14–day free trial license. All of the N76xxB Signal Studio software productsprovide a 14–day trial period (trial license). This 14–day trial license lets you download and playback waveforms during the trial period. These waveforms are denoted by the TRL in the statusmessage area of the waveform segment catalog. After the trial period expires, the TRL message isremoved but the waveform remains. You can license these waveforms after the TRL message is gone.Waveform 5–Pack requires firmware version ≥A.01.20.Installing an Option N5182A–22x Waveform 5–Pack Licensing• Load a Waveform 5–Pack license, Option N5182A–22x, into the signal generator using LicenseManager or a USB media. For more information on loading the Waveform 5–Pack License, refer tothe N5182A–22x Entitlement Certificate.Agilent N5161A/62A/81A/82A/83A MXG Signal Generators User’s Guide 237
