Installing Optional Measurement
Personalities
When you install a measurement personality, you need to follow a three
step process:
1. Determine whether your memory capacity is sufficient to contain all
the options you want to load. If not, decide which options you want to
install now, and consider upgrading your memory. Details follow in
“Do You Have Enough Memory to Load All Your Personality
Options?” on page 38.
2. Install the measurement personality firmware into the instrument
memory. Details follow in “Loading an Optional Measurement

Details follow in “Obtaining and Installing a License Key” on page

kit for the desired option. The upgrade kit contains the measurement

generate a license key from the internet website. A separate license key
is required for each option on a specific instrument serial number and
host ID.

personalities, with plenty of memory for data and states.
