Instrument Upgrades
Fast license-key upgrades for options that do not require additional hardware:
1. Place an order for the upgrade with Keysight and request to receive the option upgrade entitlement certificate and a onetime software upgrade license through email
2. Redeem the certificate through the Web by following the instructions on the certificate
3. Install the license file and latest software in the UXA 4. Begin using the new capability 1, 2
Installation, calibration, and verification information is available at: www.keysight.com/find/uxa_upgrades

1 At the time of manufacture, the hardware related to many of these options was fully adjusted and the option performance was verified to be within its warranted specifications. Within one year of the initial calibration date of the analyzer, this option is fully calibrated with no further adjustment or verification testing.
2 If this analyzer has been adjusted as part of a repair or calibration during its first year, or if the analyzer is more than one year old, additional adjustment and performance verification tests are required to ensure that some newly installed options are functioning properly. However, the completion of these tests does not guarantee that the analyzer meets all warranted specifications
