Asset Configuration
An asset is any piece of hardware that you want to configure for system use
(N5500A, for example). An asset role is the general category of the hardware
(test sets, downconverters, counters, and so on.) In the E5505A phase noise
system, the Asset Manager serves to configure the system instruments. This
section describes how to set up and use the Asset Manager.
Setting Up Asset Manager
Before you use the Asset Manager to configure your system instruments, you
may need to take it out of Demo Mode. (Asset Manager runs in Demo Mode on
initial installation or if it is installed on a PC to which no system instruments
are attached.) You must invoke the Asset Manager to determine if it is in Demo
Mode.
