Overview of ThinkRF E300 Enabler

This document describes the ThinkRF E300 Enabler that allows ThinkRF Real-Time

Spectrum Analyzers (RTSA) to work with Keysight 89600 Vector Signal Analysis (VSA)

software for spectrum monitoring and analysis solutions.

The ThinkRF RTSA is a spectrum monitoring and analysis platform that provides wide

bandwidths, deep dynamic range, and up to 27 GHz frequency range in a small one-box

platform designed for distributed deployment.

The Keysight 89600 VSA software reaches deeper into signals in time, frequency, and

modulation domains, letting you view multiple signals at once, and isolate unexpected

interactions with powerful vector signal analysis.

The E300 Enabler extends the Keysight VSA application to support detection and

management of ThinkRF RTSA devices through specific configuration parameters.

The integrated solution of ThinkRF RTSAs through E300 Enabler and Keysight 89600

VSA software allows you to perform robust and powerful analysis for all forms of signals.

You can expand your measurement capabilities and perform consistent signal analysis

across applications and deployments, including portable, remote and distributed.

System requirements

Before installing the Keysight 89600 VSA and the ThinkRF E300 Enabler, ensure that

your PC meets the following minimum system requirements:

•Operating System: Windows 10 Professional, Enterprise or Educational edition

(64-bit)

•.NET Framework 4.6.2 or later

•CPU: 1 GHz (>2 GHz recommended)

•RAM: 2 GB (16 GB recommended)

•Video AM: 128 MB (1 GB recommended)

•Hard Disk: 3 GB available

Note: You must have an Internet connection to download Keysight 89600 VSA software

and ThinkRF E300 Enabler from Keysight and ThinkRF websites, respectively.

Supported RTSA Product List

Getting Started with ThinkRF E300 Enabler

You must install the following Keysight software on your PC before installing the ThinkRF

E300 Enabler:

•Keysight 89600 VSA software, “Basic Vector Signal Analysis” package with

Version 22.21 or later,

•Keysight Connection Expert (part of the IO Libraries suite), Version 2018 Update

1 or later, and

•Keysight Multi-vendor Hardware Connectivity license (Option 301).

Installing Keysight 89600 VSA Software

Download and install the Keysight 89600 VSA software from Keysight VSA 89600

software page. “Basic Vector Signal Analysis” option with Version 22.21 or later is

needed as the minimum package. Once downloaded the package, follow the installation

instructions of the Keysight software to complete.

A license each for the Keysight 89600 VSA software and the Multi-vendor Hardware

Connectivity (Option 301) are needed. To evaluate, Keysight also provides a limited time

trial license for 89600 VSA software, which includes the Multi-vendor Hardware

Connectivity functionality (i.e. separate Option 301 trial license is not needed).

For detailed instructions, including licensing requirements, visit the Keysight VSA 89600

software page.

Make sure your local PC account has administrative privileges before installing the

software.

Keysight Connection Expert is one of the utilities included in the Keysight IO Libraries

suite and is used to discover devices on the local network.

Download and install the IO Libraries suite with Version 2018 Update 1 or later from the

Keysight IO Libraries page.

Discovering ThinkRF RTSA Devices

When you have installed the Keysight software and the ThinkRF E300 Enabler, you must

first use the Keysight Connection Expert to discover ThinkRF RTSA device(s) on the local

subnet.

Note: ThinkRF devices use High-Speed LAN Instrument Protocol (HiSLIP), a TCP/IP-

based protocol for remote control of LAN-based test and measurement instruments.

1. Launch the Keysight Connection Expert application.

2. In the Keysight Connection Expert dashboard, click on the Add button, then

select LAN instrument from the drop-down menu.

The application opens Add a LAN device window that displays discovered

devices on the local subnet, as shown in the following figure.
