Can I change the model number of my 33510B generator since it has the arbitrary waveform option now?
Can I change the model number of my 33510B generator since it has the arbitrary waveform option now?
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)SummaryThe model number of a 33510B generator cannot be changed to 33512B since it has the arbitrary waveform option now but there is a SCPI query to check for licensed options that are installed the 33500 or 33600 Series of waveform generators.QuestionCan I change the model number of my 33510B generator since it has the arbitrary waveform option now?AnswerNo, the model number cannot be changed for the 33500 or 33600 Series of waveform generators but there is a SCPI query to check for installed options (or licenses). The SCPI query below returns a catalog (or list) of installed licenses: “SYSTEM:LICENSE:CATALOG?” or just the short-form “SYST:LIC:CAT?” Click here for a snapshot from the Keysight TrueForm (33500 and 33600 Series) Waveform Generators Operating and Service Guide with more details about this SCPI query including a list of licensed options. So, “ARB” should be in the response to this query if your 33510B was upgraded with a 335ARB2U license to add arbitrary waveform capability.
