|
N5182A MXG RF vector signal generator |
Firmware revision A.01.20 or later (how to upgrade) Required options: N5182A-503 (9 kHz to 3 GHz frequency range) N5182A-651 (Internal baseband generator, 30 MSa/sec, up to 24 MHz RF bandwidth ) Recommended options: N5182A-019 (Increase Baseband Generator Memory to 64MSa) |
|
E4438C ESG vector signal generator |
Firmware revision C.04.95 or later (how to upgrade) Required options: E4438C-503 (250 kHz to 3 GHz frequency range) E4438C-601 (internal baseband generator with 8 Msample memory and digital bus capability) Recommended options: E4438C-602 (internal baseband generator with 64 Msample memory and digital bus capability) |
|
E8267D PSG vector signal generator |
Firmware revision C.04.92 or later (how to upgrade) Required options: E8267D-520 (250 kHz to 20 GHz frequency range) E8267D-602 (internal baseband generator with 64 Msample memory and digital bus capability) Recommended options: E8267D-005 (6 GB internal hard drive) |
|
M9381A PXIe vector signal generator |
Driver version: 1.4.400.0 or later
Required options: M9381A-F03 (1 MHz to 3 GHz frequency range) M9381A-B04 (40 MHz modulation bandwidth) M9381A-M01 (32 MSa memory) M9381A-300 (add M9300A PXIe frequency reference) Limitations: The M9381A VSG has a limitation related to the Power Search and DC Cal functions, creating a time-synchronization loss. That is, the signal timing changes after a Power Search or DC Cal. When ALC is set to Off, Signal Studio automatically runs Power Search, which affects the user's trigger signal for starting waveform playback. Even though the timing alignment of the trigger signal and waveform are properly set, the Power Search function disrupts this synchronization. In these cases, use the following workarounds:
For DC Cal, run it before you download and play the waveform. Do not run DC Cal while the signal is playing, which disrupts the synchronization. |
