Introduction
This kit contains all of the instructions required to install Option YAS on Keysight EXA and MXA
signal analyzers and PXE EMI receivers. Option YAS enables the ANALOG OUT port to provide a
Y-Axis screen video output.
The rear panel ANALOG OUT port is present on all EXA and MXA signal analyzers and PXE EMI
receivers, however Option YAS must be enabled via a license file.
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.
To ensure that this newly installed option has been installed properly, the
procedure that follows includes a functional check.
2. The latest revision of the X-Series signal analyzer software may be
downloaded from:
http://www.keysight.com/find/Xseries_software
3. This option is licensed for one instrument model/serial number combination.
The license key will only install on the designated instrument.
