11 Baseband Operating Mode—Primary, BERT, or N5102A
This chapter describes the Baseband Operating Mode feature used by
Keysight N5172B EXG and N5182B MXG X-Series signal generators.
The Baseband Operating Mode can be one of three different ARB FPGA
images; each ARB FPGA image changes the supported features available while
in the selected mode.
The selected Baseband Operating Mode is a persistent instrument setting and
its value is maintained through power cycles, Preset, or *RST.
The default Baseband Operating Mode is set to Primary and can only be
changed when one or more of the following options are installed.
(BERT and/or N5102A will appear grayed-out if they are not available.)
— Internal Bit Error Rate Analyzer (BERT), Option UN7
— Digital Output Connectivity with the N5102A, Option 003 or 004 or both.
Figure 11-1 Baseband Operating Mode Softkeys
Baseband Operating Mode is available on all Keysight N5172B EXG and N5182B MXG
X-Series signal generators that have installed firmware version B.01.70 or later.
