You will need to purchase the SEQ license, which enables the Sequence, Triggered, and Gated modes in Advanced Mode. The license name for the AFG31052 is AUP-AFG3SEQ-2.

There could be a few possibilities. If just a software issue reloading or upgrading, the firmware could fix it. See link: https://www.tek.com/en/support/software/firmware/mdo3k-firmware-release-v130

If still not powering up the issue is most likely a hardware issue and a repair will be needed.
Our factory service team can help with that see contact information below.To set up a repair RMA (model and serial number)

Select instrument and put in the Model, Serial number and Host ID.

The search function in NIMAX doesn't always find instruments. To connect to your scope, navigate to Devices and Interfaces in NIMAX and select Tools. Hover over NI-VISA and select VISA Interactive Control. This will open a new window and you can enter in the scope identification in the Resource to Open bar. The identification will be in the format "USB::Vendor ID::Model ID::Serial Number::INSTR". You can find this information for your scope under Utility > I/O > USB Device port. Once you have typed in the ID, hit enter and this will open the Interactive Control window and allow you to communicate with your scope.

Any errors with VXI-11 indicate that NI-MAX is trying to communicate with LAN instead of USB. Have you tried communicating with the scope using different apps such as OpenChoice Desktop, or by pinging the IP from the command prompt?

The SX scope trigger system is specified to 25GHz. Above 28GHz, you can try timeout trigger but it's not guaranteed.

I would suggest that you synchronize AFGs from the same series, like the AFG31102 and 31052, but it is possible to sync an AFG31000 to an AFG3000. To sync these instruments, you will need to follow the instructions for each individual AFG series to setup the respective units. The 31000 and 3000 AFG series use the same connections, but they have different processes to setup the connection. You will likely also need to input a decent amount of Trigger delay on the master AFG using the AFG31000.
