a. The identification information can be modifed for the PSG to reflect the signal generator that is being replaced.
Refer to “:SYSTem:IDN” on page 294 for more information.
b. A multiplier of zero is not allowed.
c. Since the PSG Family signal generators have no front panel millimeter head (source module) interface connector,
the “FRONT” suffix defaults to the rear connector.
d. Flash memory allows only a limited number of “writes and erasures”, excessive use of this command will reduce
the memory lifetime.
e. This command can take several hours to execute because the PSG memory size is much larger than the HP
836xx memory.
