I had asked Keysight about obtaining a key for an old E8357A PNA to extend its range to 9GHz. This is a software only upgrade and they no longer offer it. Doing a Google search brought me here. Any chance to enable it? |

Either here or PM will do. |

First, I want to say I appreciate all the help I have received from this group. I suspect there is more to this range upgrade than what information I could come up with. Agilent paper 9018-40582 Extended Frequency Range Upgrade Kits,t talks about the 1F6 to 1F9 upgrade to change the 8357A to the 58A. I could not get this to work making the license directly or following their guide using the tools to change the product model. Using the above codes does however allow me to create a key for the 010 time domain option. I tried out the feature and it does seem to work. The user manual talks about an option 009 that was also available for the 8357A that would extend the frequency as well. I can create the key and it does not throw an error, however the PNA does not report it was added and is still limited to the original 6GHz range. The installation note 9018-40582 was released on November of 2001. I am running the last release of the firmware that supported Windows 2000 which was from September of 2005. I would assume this firmware would support the range upgrade but it seems I am missing something. |
