N9061A Application Description

The N9061A application is the remote language compatibility suite for the Agilent Technologies X-Series of signal analyzers. It allows the analyzers to be controlled using many of the remote programming commands from the following analyzers:

8560 E/EC Series Portable Spectrum Analyzers, comprising:

8560E

8560EC

8561E

8561EC

8562E

8562EC

8563E

8563EC

8564E

8564EC

8565E

8565EC

8566A/B

8568A/B

NOTE

The 8566A/B and the 8568A/B are not considered part of the 8560 series of

 

analyzers.

The X-Series analyzer with the N9061A application installed is designed to replace these analyzers in many automated systems with minimal or no modification to the currently used measurement software.

There are two options for N9061A. One is N9061A-1FP, 8566A/B and 8568A/B remote language compatibility, the other is N9061A-2FP, 8560 Series remote language compatibility.
