Page 14: Outline Of Product
(hereafter referred to as “IQproducer MG3700A/MG3710A/MG3710E/MG3740A”) is Windows application software used to generate a modulated waveform pattern to be used in the Vector Signal Generator MG3700A/MG3710A/MG3710E or the Analog Signal Generator MG3740A, which integrates an arbitrary waveform generator. The IQproducer MG3700A/MG3710A/MG3710E/MG3740A also transfers the generated data to the MG3700A/MG3710A/MG3710E/MG3740A via LAN.

MS2830A or MS2840A into a binary-format modulation waveform pattern that can be used in the MG3700A/MG3710A/MG3710E/MG3740A. Conversely, a waveform pattern for the MG3700A/MG3710A/MG3710E/MG3740A can also be converted into a file that can be used in the MS2690A/MS2691A/MS2692A, MS2830A or MS2840A Signal Analyzer.
Page 16: Transfer & Setting Function
The FTP function used to transfer files to the MG3700A/MG3710A/MG3710E/MG3740A and the MG3700A/MG3710A/MG3710E/MG3740A authentication function are included. It is also possible to load a waveform pattern saved in the MG3700A/MG3710A/MG3710E/MG3740A’s hard disk to its waveform memory. In addition, the usage condition of the MG3700A/MG3710A/MG3710E/MG3740A’s waveform memory can be checked and defragmentation can be executed if necessary with this function.

Set the sampling rate. The sampling rate indicates the speed of reading the waveform pattern from an arbitrary waveform memory in the MG3700A/MG3710A/MG3710E/MG3740A. Note that it is not the speed after processing the interpolator within the MG3700A/MG3710A/MG3710E/MG3740A. When reading a W-CDMA waveform pattern having the over sampling of ×4, for example, set the sampling rate as follows:...

Page 255 Set Memory Option. When started with MG3700A: Set Memory Option according to whether the ARB memory expansion option 512M samples is installed in the used MG3700A. The maximum number of waveform patterns that can be generated is determined depending on this setting.
Page 256 12. Specify Detail File. (Available only for MG3700A) Specify a detail file (text-format file) to be read if necessary. The selected detail file is stored into the MG3700A along with the waveform pattern, and its contents are displayed in Detail Information of the MG3700A screen when the corresponding waveform pattern is selected.
