In the box below ensure that M9703A appears as the 'ADC' entry, and if you have more than one M9703A connected - select the required unit using the drop-down list. e. You may either use the default name or specify another name for this analyzer configuration.
Keysight M9703A Hardware Extension of 89600 VSA Software Multi-Channel Measurements When using the M9703A digitizer in VSA configuration, the digitizer forms the meas- urement front-end data acquisition hardware for the 89600 VSA software. The M9703A digitizer supports single channel I+jQ, multi-channel Dual I + jQ, and cross channel measurement configurations.
Keysight M9703A Hardware Extension of 89600 VSA Software External Clock The option of using an external sampling clock is provided. This clock must be con- tinuously present if the mode is selected otherwise an error will occur. The range of...

Keysight M9703A Hardware Extension of 89600 VSA Software Force Software DDC This function overrides the hardware processing which is normally performed by the M9703A, and forces the VSA software to perform the DDC operation. It is provided simply as a demonstration of the difference in performance between hardware DDC and software.
