Introduction

M9710A Hardware Extension of 89600 VSA Software 3

Introduction

The 89600 VSA software (89601B) supports the Keysight M9710A High-Speed

Digitizer. This VSA measurement hardware configuration offers broadband vector

signal analyzer capabilities. The maximum analysis bandwidth is model dependent.

Model Option Maximum Span (Analysis Bandwidth)

M9710A -SR4 1.953 GHz (2.5 GHz in interleaved mode)

The present document aims to describe how to configure and use VSA software with

Keysight High-Speed Digitizers.

For details about VSA 89600 software usage, please refer to VSA software help

(http://rfmw.em.keysight.com/wireless/helpfiles/89600B/WebHelp/89600.htm).

The Vector Signal Analysis Basics application note gives detailed information about

VSA analysis theory (http://cp.literature.agilent.com/litweb/pdf/5989-1121EN.pdf).

Software installation

The latest VSA (89601B) software version can be downloaded from

http://www.keysight.com/find/VSA.

The support of M9710A digitizer also requires installing a plugin so that VSA can

recognize this hardware. This MD2 Hardware Extension for VSA software can be

accessed from following link:

MD2 Digitizers Hardware Extension for 89600 VSA Software

or found from M9710A product page (www.keysight.com/find/M9710A) > Technical

Support > Drivers, Firmware, and Software.

Once downloaded, execute MD2DigitizersHwExt_Setup-<versions>.exe and follow

the installation process.

VSA (89601B) gets updated frequently to support new hardware.

You must reinstall the above plugin anytime you upgrade the VSA

software version.

Checking if your hardware is included in VSA’s extension manager

Start > All Programs > VSA Extension Manager

Look for your hardware at the bottom, if not listed, then install the hardware extension

as described above.

Updating MD2 Digitizer Hardware Extension after the installation of a

new 89600 VSA Software version

When updating your 89600 VSA Software version, the MD2 Digitizer Hardware

Extension has to be re-installed.

There are two solutions:

Option 1

From Windows> Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features, select and right

click on Keysight MD2 Digitizers Extension of Keysight 89600 VSA.

And select Change.

The InstallShield Wizard opens.

Select Repair and click Next.

This automatically installs the MD2 Digitizers Hardware Extension in the new 89600

VSA Software version.

Software installation

Option 2

There is a tool allowing to install/desinstall the MD2 Digitizers Hardware Extension

on all of the different VSA versions installed in the system.

In order to proceed, execute:

C:\Program Files\Keysight\MD2\89600 VSA

Connectivity\MD2Digitizers\89600VSAIntegration.exe (or using your installation

path)

Follow the installation process.

Click OK.

The installation of the MD2 Digitizers Hardware Extension in the new 89600 VSA

Software version is now completed.

Configuring the 89600 VSA software application to use the

digitizer hardware

Create a configuration for Keysight M9710A digitizer

1. Start the 89600 VSA software application.

2. Configure the digitizer as the VSA measurement input by creating an 'Analyzer

Configuration' that uses your digitizer as the Logical Instrument (ADC) by per-

forming the following steps:

a. From the menu, go to Utilities >Hardware >Configurations, and click on

Add New Configuration button ( ). The 'New Hardware Configuration'

dialog opens.

b. De-select 'Simulate Hardware' if it is selected (1).

c. Select Keysight MD2 digitizers(2) from the list of 'Possible Logical Instru-

ment' and drag it or click on the button (3) to add it to the 'Con-

figuration' box .

89600 VSA Software Configuration

d. In the box below, ensure that the digitizer appears as the 'ADC' entry,

and if you have more than one digitizer connected - select the required

unit using the drop-down list (4).

e. You may either use the default name or specify another name for this ana-

lyzer configuration (5).

f. Click OK to close the 'New Hardware Configuration' dialog (6).

g. Before closing the 'Hardware Configurations' dialog, use the Current

Analyzer Configuration drop-down to select the newly created as the

current item ( Digitizer1 in the exemple below).

Options and settings specific to high-speed digitizers

For specific acquisition modes, you may need to use high-speed digitizer specific

settings. These settings are available throught the digitizer hadware extension, and

can be managed from: Input > Extensions.

Calibration equalization: Enabling equalization improves the frequency

response and compensates for signal distortion. Four modes are available:

Off: No equalization(default)

Smooth roll off: minimizes the overshoot and ringing.

Sharp roll off: optimizes the frequency response flatness.

Custom: By default, Custom Equalization is equivalent to Equalization

Off.To Enable a custom equalization, please contact factory:

digitizers@keysight.com.

ControlIO1 signal: The digitizer supports multi-purposes IOs. This option allows

to select the signal used for the ControlIO1. For details about the possible sig-

nals, please refer to the User manual of your digitizer, section Multi-Purpose

Inputs and Outputs.

Enable external clock: See External Clock (page 12)

Enable interleaving: See Interleaved Mode (page 11)

Error on overrange: By default, if an overrange condition occurs on the ADC

inputs, the driver returns an error. Disabling this option disables the overrange

detection.

89600 VSA Software Configuration

External clock frequency: See External Clock (page 12)

Force Software DDC:This option is relevant only for digitizer products offering

hardware DDC and in not supported with M9710A.

MD2 Auto Calibration: See Calibration (page 10)

Multiboard synchronization:This feature is not supported with M9710A digit-

izer.

Calibration

By default 89600 VSA software automatically detects when a change of parameter

requires a new calibration of the digitizer module. This requirement is indicated on the

bottom right of the screen.

When a calibration is needed, user can either launch it from Utilities > Calibration or

by clicking on CAL: Needed .

It is possible to let the digitizer automatically performs a selfcalibration when required

by a change of the acquisition or digitizer parameter. To proceed, you have to enable

the option MD2 Auto Calibration from Input > Extensions window, then to manually

start the calibration once. The following calibrations will be automatic.

However, the MD2 Auto Calibration mode is not recommended when you are

modifying several parameters, since it can be time consuming to perform a calibration

after each parameter change, especially for multi-channel digitizer.

Multi-Channel Measurements

When using the Keysight High Speed Digitizers in VSA configuration, the digitizer

forms the measurement front-end data acquisition hardware for the 89600 VSA

software.

The M9710A digitizer supports single channel I+jQ, and cross channel measurement

configurations.

The M9710A also supports 2 channels Dual I + jQ.
