Agilent ESA-E Series

Spectrum Analyzer

Conﬁguration Guide

This ESA configuration guide will help you determine

which performance options, measurement personali-

ties, accessories, and services to include in your new

ESA-E, or to add as upgrades to an existing ESA-E.

Options for the new EXA signal analyzer are shown

alongside the ESA to help cutomers who wish to

migrate to the latest technology. Customers looking

for increased speed, more application options, or

modern connectivity will benefit by moving to the

new EXA signal analyzer.

Tested. Trusted. Reliable.

Agilent ESA-E Spectrum Analyzer

This step-by-step guide will help you conﬁgure your ESA-E.

Capabilities that are listed as standard come with the

instrument at no additional charge. Tailor the performance,

exterior, and service packages to meet your requirements.

The ESA-E spectrum analyzer is available in three express

conﬁgurations: standard (STD/STG) or communications

test (COM). The express analyzers offer faster delivery by

limiting the number of options that can be ordered together.

The custom conﬁguration allows for maximum ﬂexibility

in ordering the analyzer that best meets your needs by

offering all of the ESA-E options; however, it increases the

delivery timeframe.

For detailed speciﬁcations, refer to the ESA-E Spectrum

Analyzer speciﬁcation guide (E4401-90490). For a summary

of speciﬁcations, refer to the ESA-E data sheet, literature

number 5989-9815EN.
