Keysight 89600 VSA Software for M9391A
One of the components of Keysight M9391A PXIe VSA software installation is the
M9391 hardware extension for Keysight 89600 VSA software . A hardware
extension is a set of files that provides an interface between the 89600 VSA
software and the acquisition hardware. The hardware extension files, as well as the
89600 VSA Integration utility, are installed along with other M9391A program files
during the M9391A driver installation process. If a compatible version of 89600 VSA
software is detected during the installaiton process, the integration utility will put a
copy of the M9391 hardware extension files into the associated 89600 installation
location. Each compatible version of 89600 VSA software should have a copy of the
M9391 hardware extension files in its installation location.
A hardware extension implements several COM interfaces. The interfaces have
methods for acquiring (connecting to) measurement hardware, setting acquisition
parameters, controlling VSA hardware settings, acquiring measurement data, and
querying hardware status, etc. In general, the M9391 hardware extension maps
M9391 interface methods to COM interface methods for supported 89600 VSA
functionalities.
The M9391 hardware extension enables 89600 VSA software to detect the
presence of M9391A modules and to configure an M9391A Vector Signal Analyzer
instrument from these modules based on a set of rules. As with other 89600 VSA
supported instruments, an M9391 VSA can be configured via the 89600 VSA's New
Hardware Configuration dialog.
To configure an M9391A instrument with multiple channels in 89600 VSA software,
there are a set of rules that will be enforced by the M9391 hardware extension:
The current M9391A drivers support two types of multi-channel VSA
configurations, each of which has its own rule regarding the Synthesizer module:
99
Keysight M9391A PXIe Signal Analyzer & M9381A PXIe Vector Signal Generator 1 MHz to 3 GHz or 6 GHz
If the Keysight 89600 VSA software is installed after the M9391A drivers, you
need to run the 89600 VSA Integration utility to install the M9391 hardware
extension. Go to Start > All Programs > Keysight > M9391 > 89600 VSA

modules. Specifically, each Downconverter and Digitizer in the system can
only be utilized once in a configuration.
