Introduction

Lower your total cost of ownership

Whether it’s from tight delivery schedules or time-to-market pressures, you’re constantly required to do more. That’s why Keysight Technologies, Inc. offers a broad portfolio of services designed to optimize your productivity and efficiency when using the M9391A PXI VSA, M9381A PXI VSG and other PXI signal sources. From instrument maintenance and repair, to calibration and software solutions, or consulting and education, Keysight offers services that lower your total cost of ownership.

Ensure proper calibration

Providing highest confidence in test

Keysight performs calibrations at its owned service centers and offers the highest number of RF parameter accreditations. There are over 50 locations in Keysight’s global network, 46 of which are owned and operated by Keysight. Calibrations can also be performed at your facility by a Keysight expert using the same procedures as those used at our service centers. All of this ensures consistent calibration and measurements at your facilities around the world.

The exacting calibration procedure used at the Keysight service centers is also available in the N7800A Calibration and Adjustment software. It automates calibration to save time, reduce cost and ensure consistent quality results. The software includes automated adjustments whenever measurement performance is outside acceptable limits.

The N7800A software is in compliance with ISO 17025:2005, ANSI Z540-1:R2002, and ANSI Z540.3-2006 standards. The software offers measurement uncertainty analyses in accordance with the ISO Guide for Expression of Uncertainty of Measurements. Measurement reports are generated and you may select the report format you need to comply with your specific quality needs. Please see the example, at right.

The modules within each of our svignal sources (M9381A, M9380A) or receiver (M9391A) are calibrated together as one unit. This provides you with the highest level of confidence and the best specification accuracy. This is particularly important in cases where test quality and traceability are important to meet your measurement needs. For example, the M9381A VSG modules calibrated together include the M9301A, M9310A and M9311A. Similarly, the M9391A VSA modules calibrated together include the M9301A, M9350A and M9214A. The M9300A Frequency Reference is calibrated as a standalone product. One year calibration intervals are recommended.

The PXIe source or receiver’s calibration status is maintained through the “electronic calibration sticker” which can be accessed programmatically or via the soft front panel shown in Figure 1. It is used to set your preferences and manage your instrument’s calibration. You may set it to notify when your PXIe instrument is approaching its calibration due date or when it’s out of calibration. It also detects invalid calibrations if individual modules are swapped around. Other features allow you to manage calibration intervals and set a passphrase to protect against unauthorized changes to your preference settings. All these features are there to maintain the integrity and quality of your products.

Easily upgrade your equipment capability

All PXIe options - such as memory, frequency range or modulation bandwidth - are controlled by a licensing key and can be quickly upgraded. This means you can upgrade your equipment without shipping it to a Keysight facility. Simply place an order for the upgrade which can be activated online and installed via the instrument’s soft front panel.
