Page 10: 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 M9203A digitizer supports single channel I+jQ, and cross channel measurement configurations.
