ESG Family Signal Generators  
Agilent Technologies ESG Family Feature Releases  
If your ESG signal generator is older than the most current release date, and it hasn’t been  
upgraded, you are missing recently released features. Updating the firmware in your ESG  
lets you take advantage of feature enhancements and improvements. Hardware has also  
been enhanced periodically, to add capability or improve performance, based on customer  
requests.  
New features may be as simple as a free firmware download (www.agilent.com/find/esg) or  
may also require upgrading ESG hardware (call Agilent Technologies).  
NOTE  
This is a reverse chronological sorting of firmware and hardware feature  
releases for the ESG family. Use this list to determine the firmware revision  
and minimum hardware needed to support a specific feature.
