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
