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
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.

License Key for the new option. For instructions on entering the License Key,
refer to the "Installing the Licensing Key" on page
When you have completed entering the license key number, continue with the
next step.
