Test Application Revisions and Licenses

Last updated: May 8, 2002

Description

Different revisions of the test applications in your test set provide different capabilities. The selected test application revision is loaded after the next test application switch or power cycle of the test set. Once you select a revision the revision does not change unless you select another revision.

You can query the selected revision, all available revisions, and the total count of available revisions for a selected test application. These queries are helpful when selecting revisions but are not usually necessary when switching test applications.

Note

The Agilent E1960A GSM mobile test application revisions prior to A.04.00 do not support test application switching. If you select a revision prior to A.04.00 you will not have a path to switch back to later revisions.

If you accidentally switch to a non-supported revision, use the firmware upgrade process to load firmware with the correct revision.

Note

Test Application Revision Queries and Commands

These are commands to query revision information or select a revision.

To query a selected test application revision (running or not) use this GPIB command:
```
 
OUTPUT 714;"SYSTEM:APPLICATION:SELECT:REVISION? `AMPS/136 MOBILE TEST'"
```

To query the revision of the test application currently running use this GPIB command:
```
 
OUTPUT 714;"SYSTEM:APPLICATION:CURRENT:REVISION?"
```

To query all of the revisions available for a test application use this GPIB command:
```
 
OUTPUT 714;"SYSTEM:APPLICATION:CATALOG:REVISION? `AMPS/136 MOBILE TEST'"
```

To select a revision of a test application use this GPIB command:

 
OUTPUT 714;"SYSTEM:APPLICATION:SELECT:REVISION `GSM mobile test','A.04.01'"

To query the number of revisions for a specified test application:

 
OUTPUT 714;"SYSTEM:APPLICATION:CATALOG:REVISION:COUNT? `GSM MOBILE TEST'"

Test Application License Status Query

The test application license status can be queried for a particular test application and revision using the following GPIB query:

 
OUTPUT 714;"SYSTEM:APPLICATION:CATALOG:LICENSE? `GSM mobile test','A.04.01'"

This query returns one of the following:

"LIC" - This revision of test application appears to have a LICense. The test application may have been developed before licensing and therefore needs no license.
"NLIC" - This test application does not appear to have a license. Selecting a Not LICensed revision will result in an error +130.
"PART" - Some PART of the test application does not appear to have a license.
"UNKN" - This test application has UNKNown license status.

Note

If you switch to a not licensed revision the test set will reboot to the SYSTEM CONFIG screen. You will be unable to select any other screen or make any measurements. Query or view the Test Application Setup menu to determine the licensed versions of test applications available.

Note

Revision and license information can be viewed and selected from the SYSTEM CONFIG screen, by selecting the Test Application Setup menu. Revisions are shown with their license status. After the revision number is a letter. That letter indicates the revision license status; Licensed "L", Not Licensed "N", or Unknown "U".

"L"- This revision of test application appears to have a License. The test application may have been developed before licensing and therefore needs no license.
"N" - This test application does not appear to have a license. Selecting a Not licensed revision will result in an error +130.
"P" - Some Part of the test application does not appear to have a license.
"U" - This test application has Unknown license status.
