07 | Keysight | 89601B/BN-200 Basic Vector Signal Analysis, 89601B/BN-300 Hardware Connectivity, 89600 VSA Software - Technical Overview
Develop automated tests easily
Create design verification tests using familiar SCPI or any supported .NET language.
Use macro recording to capture key-strokes and automate repetitive tasks. The macros
toolbar can be displayed for easy macro selection.
Connect to over 40 instrument platforms
Option 300 lets you choose from signal analyzers, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, modu-
lar instruments, and more. The same GUI is used to control measurements, no matter
what hardware platform is used, minimizing the learning curve. Connect to the instru-
ments via GPIB, LAN, USB, PXI interface, or embedded PXI controller. Or, run it inside the
instrument itself if it is PC-based. For a list of currently supported products, go to
(www.keysight.com/find/89600_hardware). A configuration menu simplifies the instru-
ment detection and validation process.
Make measurements anywhere in your design process
Use the 89600 VSA software in simulation environments to analyze and visualize simu-
lated results. When device prototypes are ready, select the measurement hardware best
suited to your task and apply the same 89600 VSA software measurement science to
your physical device under test. Access analog and digital baseband; IF and RF signals,
comparing signal quality parameters, like EVM, from one signal block to the next, from
simulation to implementation.
Automate tests using programs written in SCPI or any supported .NET language. The 89600 VSA
software also supports macros developed with C# and other languages.

Whether you’re making measurements using a logic analyzer, oscilloscope, or signal analyzer, the UI
and measurement algorithms are the same. Safely compare results from baseband to RF and evalu-
ate against your error budget.
