When activated in MG3740 mode:

 

The following functions are supported.   
Whether the memory option is used can be selected.   
The presence/absence of the ARB Memory Expansion (option) and 
Baseband Signal Combination Function (option) is selected. Selecting the 
ARB Memory Expansion (option) and the Baseband Signal Combination 
Function (option) generates a bigger waveform pattern, while selecting 
the Baseband Signal Combination Function (option) generates a 
waveform pattern. If an uninstalled option is selected, sometimes the 
created waveform pattern may not be usable. Set this parameter 
according to the available options for MG3740A shown in the following
