is E4440AU Option ANE.
For more information about memory upgrade kits contact your local

Loading an Optional Measurement Personality
You must use a PC to load the desired personality option into the
instrument memory. Loading can be done from a firmware CD-ROM or
by downloading the update program from the internet. An automatic
loading program comes with the files and runs from your PC.
You can check the Agilent internet website for the latest firmware
versions available for downloading:
For PSA, see http://www.agilent.com/find/psa_firmware
NOTE
When you add a new option, or update an existing option, you will get
the updated versions of all your current options as they are all reloaded
simultaneously. This process may also require you to update the
instrument core firmware so that it is compatible with the new option.
Depending on your installed hardware memory, you may not be able to
fit all of the available measurement personalities in instrument
memory at the same time. You may need to delete an existing option file
from memory and load the one you want. Use the automatic update
program that is provided with the files. Refer to the table showing
“Measurement Personality Options and Memory Required” on page 17
.
The approximate memory requirements for the options are listed above.
These numbers are worst case examples. Some options share
components and libraries, therefore the total memory usage of multiple
options may not be exactly equal to the combined total.
Obtaining and Installing a License Key
If you purchase an optional personality that requires installation, you
will receive an “Entitlement Certificate” which may be redeemed for a
license key specific to one instrument. Follow the instructions that
accompany the certificate to obtain your license key.
To install a license key for the selected personality option, use the
following procedure:
NOTE
You can also use this procedure to reinstall a license key that has been
deleted during an uninstall process, or lost due to a memory failure.
c. Shared measurement library allocation not required
d. This is a no charge option that does not require a license key.
