2Getting Started

CAUTION To avoid damaging or degrading the performance of the MXG, do not exceed 33 dBm (2W) maximum of

reverse power levels at the RF input. See also Tips for Preventing Signal Generator Damage on

www.agilent.com.

NOTE Software Updates

Is your product software up-to-date? Periodically, Agilent releases software updates to fix known defects and

incorporate product enhancements. To search for software updates for your product, go to the Agilent

Technical Support website at www.agilent.com/find/TechSupport.

NOTE For the N5161A/62A, the softkey menus and features mentioned in this chapter are only available through the

Web-Enabled MXG or through SCPI commands. Refer to “Accessing the MXG (ATE) Web-Enabled Page” on

page 8 and to the SCPI Command Reference.

The MXG ATE blank front panel models, N5161A and N5162A signal generators, are part of the MXG

instrument family and unless otherwise indicated, all references to the MXG are inclusive of the MXG ATE

instruments.

Full LXI–B feature implementation is only available on instruments with firmware >A.01.50. A license may

be required to enable this feature and to download firmware versions >A.01.50. For information on new

firmware releases, go to http://www.agilent.com/find/upgradeassistant.

Getting Started

Checking the Shipment

1. Inspect the shipping container for damage.

Signs of damage can include a dented or torn shipping container or cushioning material that indicates signs of

unusual stress or compacting.

2. Carefully remove the contents from the shipping container and verify that your order is complete.

The following items are included with each signal generator:

• Installation Guide

• documentation CD-ROM (CD-ROM contents are also available in hardcopy format)

• three-prong AC power cord specific to geographic location

3. Verify that the options you ordered are included with the shipment by checking the serial number label on the rear of

the signal generator and the packing literature included with the shipment.

4. The N5183A signal generator is shipped with the adapter options as shown in the following table.
