Option Enable Utility
Enabling or Removing Options
There are two types of options:
— Hardware: Hardware options involve adding additional hardware to the
measurement receiver. After the proper hardware has been installed in the
measurement receiver, the option can be enabled using the option enable
utility.
It is necessary to re-enable all installed hardware options if the test set
motherboard is replaced.
— Software: Software options add features or functionality to the
measurement receiver without the need for additional hardware. These
options are enabled using the option enable utility and require a special
license key.
It is necessary to backup all installed software options if the frequency
reference board is replaced.

frequency reference board and written into the gen.lic file on the hard disk
drive. If the data stored in either of these items is lost, it can be recovered from
the other item.
Some applications require a license key that is provided by Keysight. If you
do not have the required license key, contact Keysight for assistance.
