Configure

The new selection appears in the resource panel and is ready to use. If the hardware is disconnected from the network, an error icon will appear in the resource block and in the message log with a description. Notice also that you can access the Hardware Resource Manager from this dialog, which allows you to add and connect to the following supported hardware:

• N5182A/B MXG

• N5172B EXG

• M8190A + PSG

• M8190A DUC Mode

Advanced

You can also mark the check boxes to determine which settings appear in Favorites. Clicking the Advanced button again hides the property grid.
