Real Time

Installing Instrument Files

For LTE Clause 8 tests, when using the N7649B software where the required Signal Studio software version has changed, prior to the first signal build, there is the need to have the Signal Studio software install files in the instrument. Use the procedures below for the signal generators or PXB to install the needed files.

N5172B EXG and N5182B MXG Signal Generators

  1. If not already done, download and install the required version 14.0 of the Signal Studio for LTE software : www.keysight.com/find/signalcreation.

  2. Launch the real-time component of the Signal Studio software.

  3. Connect to the same instrument to be used by the N7649B Test Case Manager software.

    A Closeddialog box appears with a statement that instrument files need upgrading and provides a choice whether or not to deploy the files.

    If the dialog box does not appear and the connection is successful, this means that either the required version of the Signal Studio software has previously made a connection to the instrument, or the previously installed software version also contained the needed instrument files.

    If the files are not deployed (No), the instrument will not create the signal.

  4. Click Yes in the dialog box.

    The Signal Studio software installs the instrument files.

  5. After installing the files, close the Signal Studio software.

  6. Return to the test tutorial, and continue the steps.

N5106A PXB

  1. Verify whether the required version 14.0 of the Signal Studio for LTE software is installed:

    1. On the PXB GUI tool bar, click Help > About.

      This launches a window that shows the information about the PXB along with a list of installed Signal Studio software

    2. Verify whether the required Closedsoftware version is installed.

      The following figure of the About window is an example that shows that the Signal Studio for LTE software is installed. But always validate that it is the correct version. The figure shows that the required version is not installed.

    3. If the required version is not installed, continue the procedure with the next step.

  2. Download and install the required version of the Signal Studio for LTE software onto the PXB: www.keysight.com/find/signalcreation.

    During the installation, a Closedprogress window appears.

    Shortly after the progress window appears, a Closedprompt displays asking whether it is okay to upgrade the real-time component of the firmware to the required version.

  3. Click OK in the prompt.

    The Signal Studio software installs the instrument files along with the new version of software.

  4. Return to the test tutorial, and continue the steps.
