Applications

TRIAL LICENSES

Free trial licenses are available for the application. Go to keysight.com, search for the application's model number, and click on the Trials & Licenses tab.

  • Click Apps > Automated Test Apps on FlexDCA's menu to start available compliance applications.

DCA-X compliance applications add significant measurement capability to your oscilloscope. Compliance applications install on either the DCA-X or on a PC and use a common user interface. Compliance applications directly control FlexDCA which, in turn, controls a DCA-X or DCA-M oscilloscope.

The FlexDCA applications covered in this topic require a license that is managed and listed in the Keysight License Manager which is an application that is installed on the PC.

The stand-alone compliance applications help you by:

  • Saving time in understanding details of standards
  • Reducing the time it takes to characterize your designs from hours to minutes.
  • Test your device to compliance or chosen limits
  • Helping debug your device using custom configurations
  • Generating HTML reports that summarize the performance of your device

Compliance applications have the same look-and-feel as the compliance applications for Keysight's real-time oscilloscopes. Once you become familiar with one application, you can quickly learn any of the other real-time or sampling (DCA-X) oscilloscope applications.

Do not confuse compliance applications with DCA-X options and licenses. Options also add measurement capability, but are not stand-alone PC applications.

Starting compliance applications from within FlexDCA

You can start compliance applications , such as the N109228CA, from within FlexDCA. Links for each installed application are automatically placed on FlexDCA's Apps menu and Applications panel. To start your application within FlexDCA:

  • Press the DCA-X's front panel Apps button.
  • Click Apps > Automated Test Apps on FlexDCA's menu.

You can add your own file and PC application shortcuts to the Apps menu and Applications panel. The files targeted by a shortcuts must have their file-name extension assigned in Windows to an application. For FlexDCA to automatically locate them, place your shortcuts or files in the user data folder's \User App Menu Items subfolder.
