This chapter describes the process for installing the personality.

2Chapter1

Getting Started

Installing the Optional Measurement Personality

Requirements

The tracking generator, Option 1DN or 1DQ is required to load the personality.

Recording the License Key

The measurement personality software you have purchased with your instrument

has been installed and the license key has been enabled at the factory. With any

future purchase of a new personality software, you will receive a certificate that

displays the unique license key number. The license key enables you to install, or

reinstall, any measurement personality you have purchased.

You will want to keep a copy of your license key number in a secure location.

Please enter your license key numbers in the box provided below for future

reference. If you should lose your license key number, get in touch with your local

Agilent Technologies service or sales office for assistance. For the location of

these offices, refer to Table 4-1 on page 37.

You will need to use a license key number only under the following conditions:

• If you purchase an additional measurement software package.

• If the controller board is repaired or replaced.

4Chapter1

Getting Started

Installing the Optional Measurement Personality

Using Install Key

You may want to install a software revision, new measurement software or

reinstall measurement software, or uninstall measurement software. Before you

can install software, you will need a set of installation diskettes.

If you have ordered a measurement personality, you will receive the installation

disk set in the option upgrade package. If you are updating an existing, previously

installed measurement option, you may order the diskettes from Agilent

Technologies or create a set from the Agilent internet site

www.agilent.com/find/esa.

Creating Software Installation Disks

To create the installation disks on-line, visit the Agilent internet site

www.agilent.com/find/esa. Follow the instructions provided on the internet site for

downloading the current measurement personalty software and creating the

installation disk set. The instructions for creating the disk set will step you through

the process to create a firmware disk set when you create the measurement

personalty software disk set. A firmware update may be needed to ensure that the

firmware and the software are compatible. After you have created the disk set,

follow the on-line instructions to install the firmware. After successfully installing

the firmware update, proceed with the following instructions for installing the

measurement personalty software in your instrument.

Installing Personality/Software Options

This procedure gives steps to install a new software option in an ESA-E Series

Spectrum Analyzer using the internal floppy drive of the instrument. Screen

messages display the update progress and give directions. The instrument will not

need to be re-calibrated after this procedure since no changes are made to

calibration or adjustment files.

If you have a problem with the installation process, refer to “Troubleshooting the

Installer” on page 5.

When the installer starts up, it examines the instrument to ensure that all the

required software and hardware options are present. If they are not, the installer

will generate and error and you will not be able to install the personality.

1. If this is the installation of new personality option software, you must enter the

License Key for the new option. For instructions on entering the License Key,

refer to the “Installing the Licensing Key” on page 3.

When you have completed entering the license key number, continue with the

next step.

2. Insert disk one of the installation disk set into the disk drive located on the right

side of the ESA front panel.
