About Keysight M9290A PXIe CXA-m Signal Analyzer
The 89600 VSA software supports the Keysight M9290A PXIe CXA-m Signal Analyzer. The CXA-m is a standalone PXI module and it is an extension of the X-series signal analyzer platform.
After the 89600 VSA software has been installed and the interface configured, start the VSA and set up the M9290A:
-
Click .
-
Open the dialog box (
button). Select the M9290A from the list of and drag it to the Configuration window. If the M9290A is not in the Possible Logical Instrument list, the 89600 VSA is not communicating with it. Verify the M9290A is turned on. Use the Connection Expert of Keysight I/O Control to verify the connection to the M9290A.
- If there is more than one M9290A, select the specific M9290A to be used for this configuration in step 2 of the dialog box.

- Click .
- Select this Analyzer Configuration as the Current Analyzer Configuration in the tab.
: When using the Input Channel Configuration dialog to specify or modify the input channel configuration mapping, only the VSA default set of channel configuration mappings is allowed; "invalid" channel configuration mappings are disallowed and the "" button is disabled ("grayed out").
CXA-m Multi-Port Capability
The CXA-m module supports the installation of multiple CXA-m modules in the same chassis. Each module is assigned a Hislip VISA address, so that each module in the same chassis can be differentiated. The Hislip address can be configured from the XSA Launch GUI.
Each module will be discovered with a unique physics server port. The VSA software will then query the port via a SCPI command, and allow connectivity to that server.
