228 Agilent N5161A/62A/81A/82A/83A MXG Signal Generators User’s Guide
Basic Digital Operation (Option 651/652/654) Preliminary
Waveform 5–Pack Licensing (Options 221–229) for Firmware Version < A.01.50 Preliminary
Waveform 5–Pack Licensing (Options 221–229) for Firmware Version < A.01.50
Waveform 5–Pack licensing enables you to create, generate, and permanently license up to 45 Signal
Studio waveforms (e.g. Each Option 22x enables licensing of five waveforms (Option 221, 222, 223,
229).
Each Waveform 5–Pack License includes one N7699A–D01 30–day Signal Studio demo license.
N7699A–D01 allows access to all N76xxB Signal Studio software products to create and generate
signals for 30 days so you can build, test, and license individual waveforms of your choice.
To redeem Option 22x and N7699A–D01, refer to the N5182A–22x Entitlement Certificate that comes
with the N5182A–22x order.
Use the signal generator to manage the licensing of these waveforms. For example, you can use the
signal generator to select individual waveforms for licensing and you can view a list of all currently
licensed waveforms.
Understanding Waveform 5–Pack Licensing
Waveforms licensed with 5–Pack cannot be exchanged. Once a waveform is licensed, that license is
permanent and cannot be revoked or replaced.
Option 22x waveform licenses are signal generator
specific (i.e. signal generator serial number specific).
Waveform 5–Pack licensing enables you to create and generate signals which can be saved for
unlimited use in a signal generator (i.e. Waveform 5–Pack Option 22x is a perpetual fixed waveform
license).
Use the Signal Studio software to build and download waveforms to the signal generator’s volatile
memory to be played. When you are satisfied with the waveform, it must be stored to non–volatile
memory before it can be licensed.
If a licensed Option 22x waveform file is transferred to another signal generator, the file must be
licensed by a separate Option 22x that is in the other signal generator before it can be played. For
more information on extracting and downloading waveform files, refer to the Programming Guide.
To license additional waveforms that exceed the number permitted by an Option 22x, you must
purchase an Option 22x that you do not already own. For example if you already own Option 221
with only two remaining licenses and you need ten more waveforms, purchase Options 222 and 223
to have enough licenses to license ten more waveforms. This would leave two remaining licenses on
Option 223. (Repurchasing Option 221 a second time, for the same signal generator, gives you no
additional Waveform 5–Pack licenses.)
Each Option 22x comes with a redeemable certificate for the N7699A–D01 30–day Signal Studio demo
license. The 30–day countdown for N7699A–D01, begins at the time of the redemption. For maximum
usage when purchasing multiple Option 22x, only redeem one N7699A–D01 at a time (e.g. after the
first 30–day N7699A–D01 license expires, redeem the 2nd, etc.). This maximizes the time allowed for
waveform creation using the N7699A–D01 30–day Signal Studio demo license (refer to the
N5182A–22x Entitlement Certificate). N7699A–D01 30–day Signal Studio demo license cannot be
purchased separately from Option 22x.
Downloaded waveforms can be licensed either during the N7699A–D01’s 30 days or after the 30 days
expire. However, after expiration of the N7699A–D01, you cannot playback any unlicensed
downloaded waveform until it is licensed using the Waveform 5–Pack License Option 22x.
