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 M9710A digitizer supports single channel I+jQ, and cross channel measurement configurations. The M9710A also supports 2 channels Dual I + jQ. - Page 11 0 - 2.5 GHz 5 GS/s leaved) -SR4 Interleaved 0 - 2.5 GHz 10 GS/s For best measurement fidelity, you should ensure that the signal center frequency + (analog bandwidth/2) does not cross the Nyquist frequency.
