NOTE To reuse the test setup for B1500A
Perform the following procedure to reuse the test setup created for the B1500A.
1. Launch Desktop EasyEXPERT with the condition Set Analyzer=B1500A.
2. Export the test setups to be reused. And exit Desktop EasyEXPERT.
3. Launch Desktop EasyEXPERT with the condition Set Analyzer=4155B, 4156B,
4155C, or 4156C.
4. Import the test setups exported at the step 2.
5. Set the channel for the analyzer to use.
Also, the procedure made by replacing the step 1 with the step 3 can be used to reuse
the test setup created for the 4155/4156.
