Configure your Keysight N934xC* Handheld Spectrum Analyzer (HSA)
This configuration guide will help you determine which performance options, measurement application software, accessories, and
services to include with your new Keysight Technologies, Inc. N9344C, N9343C and N9342C HSAs, or to add as upgrades to an
existing HSA. This step-by-step process will help you configure your N9344C/N9343C/N9342C HSAs. Capabilities that are listed as
standard come with the instrument at no additional charge. Tailor the performance, and service packages to meet your requirements.
Ordering optional capabilities at the time of purchase provides the lowest overall cost.
For performance information, refer to the N9344C/N9343C/N9342C Handheld Spectrum Analyzer Data Sheets. See literature
numbers in the Additional Resources section on page 7.
