Further update.  I have edited SWOPT.dat to remove the option.  Rebooted and then put the option code back in.  Still no joy with AMPS.

I then tried enabling the IS136 option to prove that the IS1MV5.2 software was working properly.   This worked fine.  Also, Version Manager reports that IS!MV/AMPS is installed.

One thought - is the B41 option hardware mandatory for AMPS?

Yes B41 is manditory for AMPS

Without B41 the AMPS will not be shown in the menu of the CMU regardless if you have an official code for the AMPS option or not.

Just to be sure I have checked it with one of my CMU units with an original AMPS key. When I remove the B41 than the option is gone

I have some spare B41 units for sale but the distance will make it difficult

Anyone with some luck for other gear like FSL spectrum analyzer? It uses keys with 32 decimal digits. Looks like there is a newer algoritm used in newer gear.

Hi y’all!

I got a CMU 200 a few days ago and I was very lucky with the fitted options:

Model CMU 200-1100.0008.02
SW Version [Basesystem]: V5.22

Software Options:
CMU-K21 GSM900-MS V5.22
CMU-K22 GSM1800-MS V5.22
CMU-K23 GSM1900-MS V5.22
CMU-K24 GSM850-MS V5.22
CMU-K42 GPRS@GSM-MS V5.22
CMU-K43 EGPRS@GSM-MS V5.22

Hardware Options:
CMU-B11 OCXO
CMU-B17 I/Q-IF Interface
CMU-B21V14 Universal Signalling Unit
CMU-B41 Audio Measurement Unit
CMU-B54V14 Signalling Module f. GSM, TDMA, AMPS
CMU-B95 Additional RF Generator
PCMCIA
CMU-U65V04 DSP f. Wideband Measurement
CMU-U99 RF1 with RF2 Level Range

Hardware Equipment:
Front Module: FMR6
CPU: Intel Celeron Mobil
Memory: 256 MB

Firmware Versions:
uP1: V8.50 02.05.06

I would like to try to enable a few more options:
CMU-K14 Stereo FM Transmitter
CMU-K20 GSM400 (just for fun)
CMU-K21 GSM900, R-GSM, E-GSM (Just for fun)
CMU-K27 IS-136 (fun)
CMU-K28 IS-136/PCs (fun)
CMU-K29 AMPS
CMU-K48 I/Q versus slot
CMU-K53 Bluetooth

I think I should have all the necessary hardware options for those, right?

The list of software installed on the machine is:
Base V3.61 — GSM MS V3.62
Base V5.21 — GSM MS V5.22
Base V5.22 — GSM MS V5.22 (active)

So I probably need another software package, but can I use the IS1MV5.20.exe package that VE7XEN is so kindly hosting? Or do I need the same version number?

Thanks for all your help!

You need Bluetooth hardware and installed Bluetooth software to enable BT option. Looks like your CMU is not BT-capable.

Get the last versions you can get and install them.

I made a full image of internal HDD before changing something on my unit, just to be able to get it back to original state if something goes really wrong.

Oh, yes, CMU-B53. I did indeed overlook that, thanks for pointing it out.

Yes, I will do that before installing anything. I’m just waiting for the IDE/USB adapter to arrive.
I put some codes in and the FM stereo seems to work. AMPS does not yet, so I’ll need the software package.
I’ll try to install IS1MV5.20.exe on my base V5.22 after I have a backup.

Thanks for your help Velund!

Issue resolved! Reformatting as FAT16 fixed the problem. The weird thing was that Mac OS X said from the beginning that it was FAT16 formatted....hmmm

So the USB/IDE adapter arrived, I got the HDD out of the CMU 200 and took an image. Put it back and the CMU works. Everything fine so far.
I also got a SanDisk CF to PCMCIA adapter and WD SiliconDrive 2GB PATA CF cards (SSD-C02G-3800).

I made sure that the CF card is formatted with FAT16.
Extracted the IS1MV5.20 folder from the IS1MV5.20.exe and put it onto the CF card.
Put the card into the PCMCIA adapter and plugged it into the left slot on the front of the CMU.

Pressed the power button. The usual beeping happens.
The R&S splash screen with the green rectangle "progress bar" on the bottom appears.
All the rectangles appear the message to enter the "Version Manager" is still there.
The hexagons on the top right keep animating, but nothing else happens.

Same with the right PCMCIA slot.

If the PCMCIA adapter is in the slot I can't get into the version manager by pressing the "Menu Select" button during the 3 quick beeps.
It just does the same thing as before.

I booted up the machine without the card. Then "Alt-F4". I put the card in and tried to change to different drive letters.
At one it crashed with the message "Divide Overflow".

Next I rebooted and got into the BIOS.
The BIOS does not show any drives in addition to the internal one. Is that normal with PCMCIA cards?
I have not used any of those for a very long time and I never used an adapter for CF cards.
Could somebody please check this on his unit?

I then removed the card again, booted into the version manager (not very reliable to get into it in my opinion).
I scanned for additional drives, non-found as expected.
Then I put the card in and scanned again. I got the "Divide Overflow" error again and the machine froze.

I just got onto the DOS prompt again (Alt-F4 after booting) and hat the PCMCIA card installed all the time (no CF card yet).
Drive letters D: and E: Fail to read, as expected.
If I put the CF card in and try to change to E: again the weird "Divide Overflow" error happens again with a full freeze.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? What could I check?

Thanks in advance guys!

BR,
Michael

Hi! i was very luck find this place to talks about cmu.

okey letme ask dump question, i do have same problem as Wilts01 user have, the option K29 AMPS is grey out selection, how to enable it?
I have sticker behind unit where is serial number for that option so it is legite one, software version is 5.10 and i have audio module B41 installed on system, while Wilts01 did not have it.
so where i can enable it? it is installed at somepoint as sticker is there it should suppose to work.
Is only way to upgrade whole unit? because the sticker is still there and and... i have no idea how to upgrade unit, is it just run IS1MV5.20.exe file, or it need some flash methood? just cpoy file into cmu and run it? found exe file on google couple megs, dunno if that is right one..
recently i swapped hard drive because old one was almost end of life, i managed clone it, and do image backup from it on desktop pc.

Please, im very novice on this, would appriciate ant tips :)

You can only activate software options if they are installed.

So yes, first you install the IS1MV5.20 and then you should be able to activate it with the code from within the SETUP menu.

Or, you just activate everything with the keygen and directly write into the license file with a text editor. However, that is of no use if you don't have the respective HW or SW versions installed. Just activating the options will list them as present, but you get no extra functionality.

Vitor

The upgrades coexist side-by-side. In this thread there is a link where you can download the v5.20 software with at least some options. Follow the instructions to install it.

You use the software manager to select which is the active installation. After turning the device on, press the MENU SELECT key during boot after the beep.

Important: make a backup of the whole existing HDD, just in case.

Regards,
Vitor

Good afternoon friends! I am a ham radio, there is an R & S FSH3, please help how to activate the options, K2, K3, K4?
Serial number 5 digit, without a fraction. A ready-made key should be only from digits and have 10 characters.
The guys really need your help !!!

Serial number of mine FSH3 is 100561. Model number is 23 (023?). Needed option is K2 (2? i havent option number in hex). I tried to use methods from enabling options threads for other R&S equipment (crypto script for python and script for c (but for that last one i`m also havent hex representation for option codes), in first case got hex code, but need 10 digit.

I have a R&S ZVB8 2 port Vector Network Analyzer, but I can't see any options file (SWOPT.DAT or similar). Under 'Info', no files are loaded that indicate which file it could be.

I could really use the ZVAB-K2 Time Domain option - does anyone have any good suggestions? The serial-number is 6-digits.

To be honest, I can't even see where I would load a valid software option key.

check Option Key Entry section in manual.
need load xml or input 30 digit key.
both produced from unique DeviceKey and SN,
like for all r&s device, produced over ten years.

Hello Gents,

As some of you know, I have a stack of CMU200's. The herd is, however, thinning so I can no longer just pick one from the stack if a customer requires certain features. I recently sent out a unit with BT and I pressume it quite litteraly fell of a truck as it was damaged upon arrival. I want to send him a new unit obviously but I have none that are in good enough shape *and* have Bluetooth. So, I swapped a board with BT. The HW option is now listed but the SW option is not enabled.

Could anyone help me out by generating the key for me? Would be a great help...

A side note -  the keygen in Reply #7 of this thread seems to work for R&S FSU, FSQ, FSP and FSIQ series on spectrum & signal analyzer; (at least).  :)

This strikes me as very interesting.    I've been working with the SMIQ's i960 firmware and complicated addressing scheme.   

Does anyone know the origin of the 'Seed Keys' in main.c?   

I know this is old but just for the records:

The seed keys and the functions used in the FSIQ KG were extracted from the API.DLL. (As an example here is the file from FSIQ_FW_v440_SP3 firmware file).

Tnaks for the Info.

Does anyone know a Keygen for FSH oder ZVH Handheld Instruments fron Rohde&Schwarz ?

I got a ZVH4 and maybe i can supply some DLLs or other needed Files to create a KG.

Lets Keep the nice R&S Stuff alive !!!

The FSP keygen in this thread also works for the FSH. Use the serial number alone, no "/" and no model number.

Make sure to enable all keys and try them top to bottom until all options are unlocked.

Hello,

i tested the KeyGen for FSE/FSIQ to enable Options for the ZVH4 but with no success. I tried with full Serial-Nr. and with only the first part of the S/N.

I dont have a FSHx Model to check if the keygen does its Job on FSHx style analyzers.

Any Ideas out there what to try to free the Beast in the ZVH4 ?
