4Installation Note N9030-90064

Introduction

This installation note explains how to install the license for Option NF2, Noise Floor Extension, and

perform the necessary alignments and performance verification tests.

All early PXAs were shipped with Option NFE, Noise Floor Extension, as a standard licensed option.

Option NF2 is the enhanced version of NFE, and is also a licensed option, and is standard on all new

PXAs shipped in the late 2014 timeframe.

When Option NF2 is installed on an early PXA that already contains Option NFE, both NFE and NF2

will appear in the instrument Show System screen.

Following the licensing of NF2, and installation of instrument software, the Show System screen

will list:

N9030A-NF2 Noise Floor Extension, instrument alignment

N9030A-NFE Noise Floor Extension, factory alignment

Instrument alignment means Option NF2 has an alignment process built into the instrument

software that can be executed from the front panel. This routine will automatically run the first time

Option NF2 is installed.

Factory alignment means Option NFE requires the Keysight N8714A software to adjust the

instrument.

Although NFE and NF2 are both licensed, the instrument software will only use Option NF2.

Installing this kit requires that the analyzer have instrument software version A.14.07 or later

installed. The latest instrument software version can be obtained from:

http://www.keysight.com/find/xseries_software

Software and test equipment is required for performance verification testing. Information on how to

obtain this software can be found at:

http://www.cal.software.keysight.com/

Instrument software revision A.14.07 or later is required to install this upgrade.

The instrument must have an alignment performed and the performance tested to assure the

instrument meets specifications following the license installation. The X-Series Performance

Verification and Adjustment Software must be used to verify performance. All performance

verification tests are automated. This software is included in the N7814A, Keysight X-Series

Signal Analyzer Calibration Application software.

Installation Note N9030-90064 5

Introduction

Installation Kit Parts List

Tools Required

• Keysight Calibration and Adjustment Software, N7814A (revision E.13.00 or later)

• Test equipment and computer supported by the X-Series Performance Tests and Adjustment

Software

• Microsoft Windows based personal computer with internet access and USB port

• USB storage device with >2GB free memory

Initial Instrument Functionality Check

Power on the instrument and allow the instrument to boot up. Run an alignment and display the

measurement screen. (The instrument will probably display a spectrum analyzer screen and you will

see the instrument sweeping.)

There should be no alignment failures. If there are failures, investigate and fix the problem before

continuing.

Installation Procedure

Update Instrument Software

1. Check the currently-installed version of the instrument software by pressing System, Show,

System. Look for the entry for “Instrument S/W Revision”.

2. If the currently-installed instrument software revision is earlier than A.14.07, it will be

necessary to upgrade the software.

3. Even if the currently-installed instrument software revision is A.14.07 or later, Keysight

recommends that the analyzer be upgraded to the latest version of instrument software.

4. Go to the following website and determine whether or not the analyzer has the latest

instrument software already installed:

Installation Note N9030-90064 7

Installation Procedure

Licensing the New Options

License Installation Procedure over USB

1. Locate the Option Upgrade Entitlement Certificate (5964-5178) from the kit.

2. Redeem the Option Upgrade Entitlement Certificate by following the instructions on the

Certificate.

3. After redeeming your Option Upgrade Entitlement Certificate you will receive an email with an

attached License File.

4. Locate a USB storage device. Perform a virus scan on this device before use.

5. Save the License File to the root directory of the USB Storage Device.

6. Connect the USB Storage Device to one of the analyzer’s USB ports. Connect a mouse to

another USB port. Windows will detect the new hardware and may display the configuration

menu shown in Figure 1. This menu may be configured according to your preferences.

Installation Procedure

7. The signal analyzer will automatically consume the License File. (This may take a few minutes)

When the License File is consumed the Keysight License Manager will display a “Successful

License Installation” message as shown in Figure 2. Since the license file contains multiple

licenses, multiple “Successful License Installation” messages will appear. Wait until all

licenses have been consumed before removing the USB Storage Device.

Figure 2 Successful License Installation

Alternate Installation Procedure

The License File can be manually installed over USB or LAN by placing the license file in the

following analyzer folder:

C:\Program Files\Agilent\licensing.

Installation Note N9030-90064 9

Installation Procedure

Verify the Installation and Perform Alignment

1. Cycle power on the signal analyzer

2. As the analyzer boots up, you will see a message similar to Figure 3 below prompting you to

characterize the noise floor of the analyzer.

Figure 3 Characterize Noise Floor Prompt

3. Press OK to start the alignment. A progress indicator will appear on screen as shown in Figure

4below.

10 Installation Note N9030-90064

Installation Procedure

4. The characterization will take approximately 10 minutes for a 26.5 GHz analyzer and up to 30

minutes for a 50 GHz analyzer with Options P50 and MPB.

5. After the characterization has completed, press Mode, Spectrum Analyzer, Mode Preset.

6. Press FREQ, 1 GHz, SPAN, 100 MHz, AMPTD, Ref Level, −50 dBm.

7. Press BW, 100 kHz, Trace/Detector, More 1 of 3, Detector, Average, Sweep/Control, Sweep

Time, 10 s.

8. Press Mode Setup, Noise Reduction, Noise Floor Extension (Off).

9. Note the level of the displayed noise.

10.If instrument software version is > A.18.00, press Mode Setup, Noise Reduction, Noise Floor

Extension (Full). If instrument software version is < A.18.00, press Mode Setup, Noise

Reduction, Noise Floor Extension (On). Note that the level of the displayed noise should be at

least 10 dB lower than the level noted in the previous step. The noise will have higher

peak-to-peak variation than when Noise Floor Extension is Off, but the average of the noise

should still be more than 10 dB below the level noted in the previous step.
