Introduction
This kit contains all of the instructions required to install Option B25, 25 MHz Analysis Bandwidth,
on a N9000B CXA signal analyzer, or Option B40, 40 MHz Analysis Bandwidth, on a N9030B PXA
Signal Analyzer.
Option B25 enables the 25 MHz Analysis BW.
Option B40 enables both the 25 and 40 MHz Analysis BW paths.
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.

Utilities, Adjustments, and Performance Verification Tests
Calibration Software and specified test equipment is required to perform the adjustments, and can
be used to automate the performance verification testing.
Obtain Keysight X-Series Signal Analyzer Calibration Application SW, N7814A. Information on how
to obtain this software can be found at:
http://www.keysight.com/find/calibrationsoftware
Utilities Required
None
Adjustments Required
If the instrument is more than one year old, or if this instrument has been adjusted as part of a
calibration or repair during its first year, the following adjustments are the minimum set required to
ensure that this newly installed option is functioning properly.
Performance Testing Required
If the instrument is more than one year old, or if the instrument has been adjusted as part of a
calibration or repair during its first year, the following performance verification tests are the
minimum set required to ensure that this newly installed option is functioning properly. Performing
