Enabling Options

You can retrofit your signal generator after purchase to add new capabilities. Some new optional features
are implemented in hardware that you must install. Some options are implemented in software, but
require the presence of optional hardware in the instrument. This example shows you how to enable
software options.

Enabling a Software Option

A license key (provided on the license key certificate) is required to enable each software option.

1.

Access the Software Options menu:

Utility
