Introduction
This kit contains all of the instructions required to install Option PFR on a N9000B CXA, N9010B
EXA, or N9020B MXA signal analyzer, or N9048B PXE EMI receiver. The CXA, EXA, and MXA signal
analyzers are collectively referred to as X-Series Multi-Touch signal analyzers. No tools are
required.
1. At the time of manufacture the hardware related to this option was fully
adjusted and the option performance was verified to be within its warranted
specifications. Within one year of the initial calibration date of the instrument
this option is fully calibrated with no further adjustment or verification testing.
To determine the initial calibration date, locate the original calibration
certificate that was shipped with the instrument at the time of purchase. The
Date of Calibration is printed on the original calibration certificate.
No factory test data is available for this option. If you require test data for this
option then a full calibration is required after installation of this option.
Arrangements regarding the level of calibration must be made with the
calibration provider.
2. If this instrument has been adjusted as part of a repair or calibration during its
first year, or if the instrument is more than one year old, additional
adjustments and performance verification tests are required to ensure that this
newly installed option is functioning properly. However, the completion of
these tests does not guarantee that the instrument meets all warranted
specifications.
3. The latest revision of the X-Series signal analyzer software may be
downloaded from:
http://www.keysight.com/find/Xseries_software.
4. This option is licensed for one instrument model/serial number combination.
The license key will only install on the designated instrument.
