Procedure for a Single Channel Configuration

This procedure is for setting up and configuring a single channel system. To set up and configure multiple channel systems:

See "Procedure for a Two Channel Configuration" on page 50

See "Procedure for a Three or Four Channel Configuration" on page 55

To create a new M9393A instrument, use the Keysight 89600 VSA Software and follow these steps:

1. Open the "New Hardware Configuration" window in the Keysight 89600 VSA software by selecting: Utilities > Hardware > Configurations from the menu bar. When you hover over the last element in this sequence you will see a listing of the relevant configurations. Click on the "Add New Hardware" icon .

2. In the "New Hardware Configuration" window:

Running Calibration on the M9393A from the 89600 VSA

Software

It is possible to run calibrations on the M9393A VSA from the 89600 VSA software when the two are correctly configured. The calibration path in the 89600 VSA software is Utilities > Calibration.

Before running a calibration on the M9393A, it is important to make sure that there is no RF signal connected to the RF In connector of the M9365A Downconverter.module in the M9393A instrument. A signal present at
