ELEKTRA Device List, options displayed in 'General' facet

Description

I'm using software R&S ELEKTRA with Test Receiver, e.g R&S ESL. I noticed that not all options of the Test Receiver are shown in ELEKTRA Device List. For example, option FSL-B7 is not displayed in Device List. Does that matter?

Example:

Resolution

Using the SCPI command *OPT? our software R&S ELEKTRA queries all instrument options from Test Receiver.

The missing option in 'General' facet is no reason to worry. Your Test Receiver is supported with all available options. In this example FSL-B7 is not displayed, because instrument option has no influence on available ELEKTRA settings.

ELEKTRA does follow the general rule that the tab 'General' of DeviceList only displays those options that are relevant for ELEKTRA for the measurement/settings.

For ESL, the FSL-B7 is always available as a build-in option, it cannot be removed or ordered separately. Because of this it is not needed to display this option.
