1.1 Overview
The IQproducerTM is Windows application software used to generate a
modulated waveform pattern to be used by the
MS2690A/MS2691A/MS2692A or MS2830A Signal Analyzer Vector
Signal Generator option.
Note that purchase of a license key corresponding to the serial number of
your Vector Signal Generator option is required when actually using a
waveform file with the Vector Signal Generator option, a file generated
by the modulated waveform pattern generator IQproducerTM (hereinafter,
referred to as “signal generation application”) corresponding to each
communication system.
The IQproducerTM also enables the Complimentary Cumulative
Distribution Function (CCDF) results and Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)
results of a generated modulated waveform pattern to be displayed in a
graph. In addition, it can convert an ASCII-format waveform pattern
generated by your signal generation application tool to a binary-format
waveform pattern that can be used in the Vector Signal Generator option.
This operation manual describes the functions of the IQproducerTM,
except for the signal generation application.

1.2 Functions

Overview
1.2 Functions
1.2.1 Signal generation application corresponding to communications
system
Signal generation applications that generate modulation waveform
patterns are provided for each communications system. For detailed
information on the operations and functions of these applications, refer to
the operation manual of each signal generation application.
1.2.2 CCDF graph display function
The IQproducerTM can read a modulation waveform pattern generated by
each signal generation application and display it in the CCDF graph with
up to eight traces.
The CCDF graph displayed on the screen can be printed out and saved
into a CSV-format file.
1.2.3 FFT graph display function
The IQproducerTM can read a modulation waveform pattern generated by
each signal generation application and display it in the FFT graph with
up to four traces.
The FFT graph displayed on the screen can be printed out and saved into
a CSV-format file.
1.2.4 File conversion function
The IQproducerTM can convert an ASCII-format waveform pattern
generated by simulation software or other external software to a
binary-format modulation waveform pattern file that can be used in the
Vector Signal Generator option.
In addition, it can convert a digitized file that is created by the
MS2690A/MS2691A/MS2692A or MS2830A Signal Analyzer using the
digitize function, and convert a waveform pattern for the
MG3700A/MG3710A Vector Signal Generator (hereinafter, referred to as
“MG3700A/MG3710A”) into a binary-format modulation waveform
pattern that can be used in the Vector Signal Generator. Conversely, a
waveform pattern for the MS269x/MS2830 can also be converted into a
file that can be used in the MG3700A/MG3710A.

Chapter 1 Overview
1-4.
1.2.5 Time domain graph display function
The IQproducerTM can read a modulation waveform pattern generated by
each signal generation application and display it in the time domain
graph with up to four traces.
1.2.6 Clipping function
This function performs clipping processing for a waveform pattern
generated by each signal generation application.

Hard disk 5 GB or more free space in the drive where
this software is to be installed.
Peripheral device
Display Displays with a resolution of 1024 × 768 pixels
are best viewed using a small font setting.
Although the IQproducerTM can be installed and operated in the
MS2690A/MS2691A/MS2692A or MS2830A, operations of the
measurement functions are not guaranteed when the IQproducerTM is
running on the MS2690A/MS2691A/MS2692A or MS2830A.

Installation/Uninstallation
2.2 Installation/Uninstallation Procedure
The IQproducerTM can be installed interactively by activating the setup
program.
If resident virus check programs are running on your PC, exit them
before activating the IQproducerTM setup program, as well as other
Windows applications in progress.
Note:
If you upgrade the IQproducerTM after the version 3.00 (hereafter
referred to as “new software”) in PC in which the IQproducerTM
before version 2.01 (hereafter referred to as “old software”) is
installed, please execute the setup file of the old software and
uninstall it before executing the setup file of new software.
However, if the short file name support was disabled on your
Windows, old software cannot be uninstalled. In this case,
instead of uninstalling the old software, execute the setup file of
the new software and specify the installation folder of the old
software for the Destination Folder, thereby installing the new
software, while overwriting the old one.
Note:
This software of version 13.00 or later requires you to have
installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86).
In addition, this software of version 13.00 or later does not work on
Windows2000.
Note:
When you run the setup program for IQproducerTM version 14.02
or later (hereafter referred to as “new software”) on the PC to
which IQproducerTM version 14.01 or earlier (hereafter referred to
as “old software”) has been installed, the automatic uninstallation
of the old software starts.
When the old software has been successfully uninstalled, the
installation of the new software starts.
Note:
To downgrade from IQproducerTM version 14.02 or later (hereafter
referred to as “new software”) to IQproducerTM version 14.01 or
earlier (hereafter referred to as “old software”), uninstall the new
software before installing the old software.
