89600 VSA Software Configuration
External clock frequency: See
Force Software DDC:
This option is relevant only for digitizer products offering
hardware DDC and in not supported with M9710A.
MD2 Auto Calibration: See
Multiboard synchronization:
This feature is not supported with M9710A digit-
izer.
Calibration
By default 89600 VSA software automatically detects when a change of parameter
requires a new calibration of the digitizer module. This requirement is indicated on the
bottom right of the screen.
When a calibration is needed, user can either launch it from Utilities > Calibration or
by clicking on
CAL: Needed
.
It is possible to let the digitizer automatically performs a selfcalibration when required
by a change of the acquisition or digitizer parameter. To proceed, you have to enable
the option MD2 Auto Calibration from Input > Extensions window, then to manually
start the calibration once. The following calibrations will be automatic.
However, the MD2 Auto Calibration mode is not recommended when you are
modifying several parameters, since it can be time consuming to perform a calibration
after each parameter change, especially for multi-channel digitizer.
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.
