About Keysight M9420A/M9421A PXIe Vector Transceiver with 89600 VSA Software
The 89600 VSA software supports the Keysight M9420A/M9421A PXI Vector Transceiver Module. The M9420A/M9421A integrates core signal-analysis capabilities with hardware speed and accuracy, enabling development of solutions for specific requirements. The PXIe form factor is easily scalable for multiple transceivers in minimal space.
After the 89600 VSA software has been installed and the interface configured, start the VSA and set up the M9420A/M9421A:
-
Click .
-
Open the dialog box by clicking the
button. Select the M9420A/M9421A from the list of and drag it to the Configuration window. If the M9420A/M9421A is not in the Possible Logical Instrument list, the 89600 VSA is not communicating with it. Verify the M9420A/M9421A is turned on. Use the Connection Expert of Keysight I/O Control to verify the connection to the M9420A/M9421A.
- If there is more than one M9420A/M9421A, select the specific M9420A/M9421A to be used for this configuration in step 2 of the dialog box.
- In step 3, name the configuration. Click .
- 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").
M9420A/M9421A Multi-Module Capability
The M9420A/M9421A module supports the installation of multiple M9420A/M9421A 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.
