Keysight Technologies 89600 VSA Software Configuration Guide This Keysight 89600 VSA software configuration guide will help you configure your new or existing 89600 VSA with the measurement options, licenses, and updates you need.
02 Keysight 89600 VSA Software - Configuration Guide Configure your New Software This step-by-step process will help you configure your new 89600 VSA software when making your initial order. See the upgrade section to learn how to add any of these options after initial purchase. Beginning with Step 1, determine is the type of license you need. Step 1: Select desired license type Did you know... Connectivity to over 45 Keysight instrument platforms, is a standard feature of Basic VSA (option 200). For a complete list of hardware platforms, visit www.keysight.com/ find/89600_hardware. Description Basic vector signal analysis (Basic VSA) Notes License Type Model - option Option 200 is required. It provides: - Basic time and spectrum measurements - Analysis of imported data files - Links to Keysight EDA SystemVue and ADS - Connectivity to hardware platforms - 12 months of VSA update subscription service Transportable 89601B-200 USB Portable 89601BK-200 Floating 89601BN-200 For floating licenes, the quantity of 89601BN-200 units purchased determines the maximum number of simultaneous users. License type definitions: Transportable: Order 89601B if the software license will reside on one PC/instrument at a time. The license can be transferred to another PC/instrument at any time via network connection to Keysight Software Manager (KSM). USB portable: If you order 89601BK, you will receive a license certificate with an order number you will use to obtain a license file from KSM. The license file can be installed one or more PCs or instruments. A USB portable license is ideal for users without network connectivity, for environments that mandate non-writable portable media or when the license should not be activated except by a user with physical possession of a dongle. Purchase of the dongle, E8900-80036 hardware key-usb port FLEX10, is required along with the 89601BK USB portable license. The non-writable, not-memory dongle provides a unique host ID for license activation. Floating: Every 550 days 89601BN users must re-host the license. This provides the opportunity to update the server or host ID through the KSM profile at no cost.
03 Keysight 89600 VSA Software - Configuration Guide Step 2: Select measurement options The quantity of any particular measurement license purchased should not exceed the Option 200 quantity purchased. Description Option Notes General purpose Vector modulation analysis AYA Analysis of > 40 digital modulation formats, including custom APSK and presets for communication formats like ZigBee, Bluetooth, APCO 25 and SOQPSK Custom OFDM modulation analysis BHF Proprietary and pre-standard OFDM formats Custom IQ modulation analysis BHK Proprietary and pre-standard, customized IQ constellation signals. Requires Option AYA. Channel quality measurements BHL Channel response measurements such as phase/magnitude response and multi-tone group delay Spectrum analysis SSA For M9391A and M9393A PXI VSA only Cellular communications Pre-5G modulation analysis BHN LTE-Advanced FDD modulation analysis BHG Requires Option BHD LTE-Advanced TDD modulation analysis BHH Requires Option BHE LTE-FDD modulation analysis LTE-TDD modulation analysis BHD BHE 3G modulation analysis bundle B7N Includes cdma2000, W-CDMA, 1xEV-DO, and TD-SCDMA Wireless connectivity WLAN 802.11ax modulation analysis BHX Requires Option BHJ WLAN 802.11n/ac modulation analysis BHJ WLAN 802.11a/b/g modulation analysis B7R Includes WLAN 802.11j/p WiMAX TM 802.16 modulation analysis B7Y Mobile and Fixed Radar analysis FMCW radar analysis BHP For multi-chirp linear FM modulated signals or automotive radar Pulse analysis BHQ For single-emitter pulse analysis Other standard format DOCSIS 3.1 modulation analysis BHM Downstream and upstream TEDS modulation analysis BHA Includes TETRA2 signals RFID modulation analysis BHC Includes NFC formats Configuration Example In this example with 89601BN, 5 people can use the 89600 VSA software at the same time because a quantity of 5 Option 200 floating licenses have been purchased. This means that at any one time, two users can make 3G measurements because two 3G licenses have been purchased, one user can make LTE FDD measurements because one LTE FDD license has been purchased, and two more users can use the 89600 VSA software to make basic time and spectrum measurements. Description Option Quantity Basic vector signal analysis 200 5 3G bundle modulation analysis B7N 2 LTE FDD modulation analysis BHD 1 Upgrade your Existing Software All 89600 VSA software options can be added after initial purchase and are license-key enabled. Some require the latest software version. To learn more and upgrade your software, visit www.keysight.com/find/89600_upgrades To determine if you already have a licensed measurement option: For transportable licenses, go to the 89600 VSA toolbar and select Utilities > Licenses > Options. The options you have installed are indicated with a Yes. For floating licenses, check with your network manager to determine the Option 200 quantity in your system.
