Proceed as described below.
1. Copy the waveforms files received from Sirius XM to USB stick or an external USB
HDD.
2. Connect the USB stick or USB HDD to USB connector of the instrument.
3. Copy the waveforms files to the instrument target directory, e.g. _transfer.
4. Alternatively, store the files to a network drive and connect the instrument to the
LAN.
5. Enable the instrument to playback the encrypted files, see chapter 1.4, "Enabling
the Instrument to Playback XM Radio Waveforms", on page 7.

forms
To play the XM Radio waveforms files on your instrument, proceed as described
below.
1. Press the PRESET key.
The instrument's settings will be adjust to a standard set of operating conditions.
2. Select "Baseband block > ARB".
3. Select "Load Waveform" button, navigate to the directory with the XM Radio waveforms files (for instance "D:/_transfer") and select a file from the list.

Enabling the Instrument to Playback XM Radio Waveforms
The instrument process the selected waveform file.
5. Press the FREQ key and enter the corresponding carrier frequency.
The file in this example contains one terrestrial channel that can be used for both
ensembles A and B. To generate the signal of the TerrA channel, set the carrier
frequency "Freq = 2337.490 MHz".
Note:
For an overview of the file contents and the required carrier frequency, refer to the
description provided with the delivery of the waveform files or contact Sirius XM.
6. Set "RF > On" to enable signal generation.
The instrument modulates the selected waveform file on the configured frequency.
