Step 3. Choose the amount of memory per channel (If not required, go to step 4)
Option No. Description
M8190A-02G Upgrade from 128 MSa to 2 GSa Memory /Channel
Comment: Select this option Qty 1 for a module with 1 Channel and Qty 2 for a 2-channel module.
Refer to Upgrade kits section on page 6 for retrofit information on the above options.
Step 4. Choose additional options per module (If not required, go to step 5; refer to Software upgrade section for retrot information
on the above option)
Option No. Description
M8190A-AMP Additional AC and DC Amplifier
M8190A-SEQ Sequencer
M8190A-FSW Fast Switching (requires Export Control License in conjunction with M8190A-12G)
M8190A-DUC Digital Upconversion License for the M8190A Arbitrary Waveform Generator
Comment: Option M8190A-FSW determines the minimum switching time between selected segments in sequence mode in 12 bit / 12GSa/s
operation. For quoting option M8190A-FSW, options M8190A-12G and M8190A-SEQ are required. Option M8190A-FSW does not affect
switching time in 14 bit / 8GSa/s mode, it is basically included in option M8190A-14B.
Streaming is included in M8190A firmware version 3.x.
Refer to Upgrade kits section on page 6 for retrofit information on the above options.
Step 5. Choose multi-channel support (if not required, go to step 6)
Option No. Description
M8192A Synchronization Module for up to six M8190A AWG modules.
Please note that two clock cables and two trigger cables are included. For more than two modules, the corresponding
number of clock cables and trigger cables needs to be ordered separately.
M8192A-801 Clock Cable for the Synchronization Module (M8192A)
(required for configurations with three or more M8190A modules)
M8192A-802 Trigger Cable for the Synchronization Module (M8192A)
(required for configurations with three or more M8190A modules)
Typical configrations Description
Up to 4 analog
channels
One M9505A 5-slot AXIe chassis, two M8190A AWG modules and one M8192A synchronization module
(two clock cables and two trigger cables are included).
This configuration can also be ordered as a pre-configured M8190S Multichannel Arbitrary Waveform Generator System.
Up to 8 analog
channels
Two M9505A 5-slot AXIe chassis, three or four M8190A AWG modules and one M8192A synchronization module
(two clock cables and two trigger cables are included). For 8 analog channels, two M8192A-801 clock cables and two
M8192A-802 trigger cables are needed in addition.
This configuration can also be ordered as a pre-configured M8190S Multichannel Arbitrary Waveform Generator System.
Up to 12 analog
channels
Three M9505A 5-slot AXIe chassis, five or six M8190A AWG modules and one M8192A synchronization module
(two clock cables and two trigger cables are included). For 12 analog channels, four M8192A-801 clock cables and
four M8192A-802 trigger cables are needed in addition.
Comment: Please order the needed M8190A units in step 1. Units have to have the same configuration.
Step 6. Choose calibration option per module (If not required, go to step 7)
Option No. Description
M8190A-1A7 Calibration Certificate for ISO 17025
M8190A-Z54 Calibration Certificate for Z540
Comment: Keysight factory calibration is provided as standard and free of additional charges.
