USB Retrofit Kit Option 111

Introduction

This retrofit kit adds USB device side I/O to the PSA series spectrum analyzer. USB

device side I/O provides a link for controlling the PSA and extracting data from it

through a standard SCPI interface. This feature does not enable control of USB mass

storage devices. This implementation of USB can be thought of as a faster version of

GPIB.

Once the hardware is installed, it is mandatory to update the PSA firmware so the PSA

can recognize the new hardware.

NOTE

1. The installation of this kit requires that some performance testing be performed in

order to assure the new option is functioning properly.

This installation note includes a list of required Performance tests. Completing the

performance tests does not guarantee the instrument meets all specifications.

2. The instrument end user must determine whether they need a full instrument

calibration following the installation of the kit. If a full calibration is required,

arrangements regarding the level of calibration must be made between the end user

and the calibration provider.

3. This option is licensed for one instrument model/serial number combination. The

license key will only install on the designated instrument.

Installation Procedure

Preliminary Hardware Verification

1. Check for the presence of Option 115 or Option 117 by pressing System, Show System,

and look at the option list.

NOTE Option 111, Option 115, and Option 117 share the same PC assembly.

2. If Option 115 or Option 117 is present, press System, Show Hardware. Note the part

number of the USB/Flash Driver.

3. Determine the part number of the USB assembly in the kit.

• If the part numbers match, do not install the USB assembly from the kit.

• If the part numbers do not match, install the USB assembly from the kit as

outlined in this installation note.

4. Check the part number of the Digital IF assembly installed in the instrument. Press

System, Show Hardware. Note the part number of the Digital IF.

5. Determine the part number of the Digital IF assembly in the kit by looking at the

part number silk screened on the board assembly.

• If the part numbers match, you do not need to install the Digital IF assembly from

the kit.

• If the part numbers do not match, install the replacement Digital IF assembly as

outlined in this installation note.

Remove the Outer Case

CAUTION If the instrument is placed on its face during any of the following

procedures, be sure to use a soft surface or soft cloth to avoid damage to

the front panel, keys, or input connector.
