Introduction
X-Series Measurement Applications for Modular Instruments (M90XA Software) expand the capabilities of
your M9391A or M9393A PXIe Vector Signal Analyzers (PXI VSAs). These applications are the same
applications used to increase the capability and functionality of Agilent’s X-Series signal analyzers, and
include the same GUI and SCPI programming commands. By combining the raw hardware speed of the PXI
VSAs and the X-Series measurement applications, you can test more products in less time while ensuring
measurement continuity from design to manufacturing. The M90XA Software transforms PXI VSAs into
standards-based RF transmitter testers, providing fast RF conformance measurements to help you test your
components and devices in high-volume manufacturing.
X-Series Measurement Applications for Modular
Instruments
Following X-Series Measurement Applications are supported for Modular Instruments:
M9063A - Analog Demodulation Measurement Application
M9064A - VXA Vector Signal Analysis Measurement Application
M9071A - GSM/EDGE/EVO Measurement Application
M9072A - CDMA2000/CDMAOne Measurement Application
M9073A - W-CDMA/HSPA+ Measurement Application
M9076A - 1xEV-DO Measurement Application
M9077A - WLAN 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Measurement Application
M9079A - TD-SCDMA/HSPA Measurement Application
M9080A - LTE FDD Measurement Application
M9080B - 2TP - LTE-Advanced FDD Measurement Application
M9081A - ® Measurement Application Bluetooth
M9082A - LTE TDD Measurement Application
M9082B - 2TP - LTE-Advanced TDD Measurement Application

Note:
For details on supported licenses and Product information, please refer M90XA Software Licenses.
Note:
The LTE-Advanced apps are not supported in 32-bit mode.
High-Level Architecture
The following diagram provides high level overview of the M90XA Software use model:
M90XA Application Container
The Agilent M90XA is a container for the X-Series Measurement Applications. M90XA provides features and
services which are common to all of the measurement applications. For example, the graphical user
interface, programming API, utility, and housekeeping functions (such as save, recall, system info, and error
reporting). The AgM90XA is an IVI driver (IVI-COM or IVI-C), however, once the driver is initialized the

X-Series Measurement Applications for Modular Instruments Startup Guide

measurement applications use a SCPI programming API and offers code compatibility with benchtop
analyzers.
You can launch the M90XA Software from the Start menu as described in Launching M90XA Software
section. Once launched, make measurements in either of the following ways:
Interactively by using the M90XA GUI
Programmatically by using the SCPI commands
M9000 Resource Manager
The M9000 Resource Manager allows hardware driver session to be shared by multiple applications running
in the same process without having to close and reopen a hardware driver session. The supported
applications include the M90XA Software, 89600 VSA, and customer code. This capability enables high
speed operations including Adjacent Channel Power Ratio (ACPR) measurement and power servo routines.
In addition, it allows to use the M90XA Software for measurements that are not available in the driver such
as Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) and Spectral Emission Mask (SEM).
The M9000 Resource Manager provides arbitration between multiple users based on a co-operative sharing
model. Each time an X-Series Measurement Application needs to access the hardware driver session, it
sends the resource manager a checkout request, uses the hardware, then immediately checks it back into
the resource manager. Similarly, when you want to use the hardware driver session you must first check it
out from the resource manager. For information related to how the 89600 VSA accesses the hardware
driver session, refer to the section.89600 VSA: Running In-Process and Sharing Hardware Driver Sessions
To programmatically access the hardware driver session refer to the Programming with M90XA Software
section.
The M9000 Resource Manager has:
a .NET API
an unmanaged C API
Supported VSA Hardware
The supported VSA hardware for M90XA software is M9391A PXIe Vector Signal Analyzer and M9393A PXIe
Performance Vector Signal Analyzer. For more details on M9391A and M9393A, refer to
and , respectively.http://www.agilent.com/find/M9391A http://www.agilent.com/find/M9393A
M9391A and M9393A IVI Drivers
The M90XA Software connects to VSA hardware through the M9391A or M9393A IVI driver (IVI-COM or
IVI-C), which is shipped with the VSA hardware. These drivers can also be download from the links below:
