Congure Your Keysight CXA Signal Analyzer
This CXA conguration guide will help you determine which performance options, measurement applications, accessories, and services
to include with your new CXA or to add as upgrades to an existing CXA.
This step-by-step process will help you custom-congure your CXA signal analyzer. Capabilities that are listed as standard come with
the instrument at no additional charge. Tailor the performance, exterior, and service packages to meet your requirements. Ordering
optional capabilities at time of purchase provides the lowest overall cost.
For detailed specications, refer to the CXA Signal Analyzer Specication Guide (N9000-90016). For a summary of specications, refer
to the CXA Signal Analyzer Data Sheet (5990-4327EN).
