a.The internal baseband generator speed upgrade Options 670, 671, and 672 are option upgrades that require Option 651 and 652 to have been loaded at the factory (refer to the Data Sheet for more information). Any references to 651, 652, or 654 are inclusive of 671, 672, and 674.

b. Options 001 and 002 apply to only the E4438C ESG.

Checking Available Memory

Whenever you download a user- data file, you must be aware of the amount of remaining signal generator memory. Table 8- 1 shows to where each user- data file type is downloaded and from which memory type the signal generator accesses the file data. Information on downloading a user- data file is located within each user- data file section.

NOTE The Bit, PRAM, and State user- data (file) types only apply to the E4438C with Option 001, 002, 601, or 602, and the E8267D with Option 601 or 602.

The FIR filter, (file) types only apply to the N5182A with Option 651, 652, or 654, E4438C with Option 001, 002, 601, or 602, and the E8267D with Option 601 or 602.
