Key Questions to Consider in Migration from 856x
1. Form Factor
– Physical size?– Class 3 MIL Rugged?
2. Hardware Functionality
– Did you use the Tracking Generator • Internal for 8560A/E/EC – OPT 002?• External – 85640A?
– Did you use External Mixing?– Did you use the VIDEO output (standard)? Why?– Did you use the second IF output (OPT 001)? Why?– Did you used the SWEEP output (standard)? Why?
3. Hardware Performance
– Phase Noise Performance?– Other?
4. Backward Code Compatibility and Applications Coverage
– Is the 856x in an automated environment? – Were you using the Phase Noise Personality (85671A)?– Were you using the Spurious Measurements Personality (85672A)?
5. Additional Features
– Security Clearing Procedures?– Calibration Cycle and Cost of Ownership?

Remote Language Compatibility Application
• Emulates the HP/Agilent 856xE/EC remote programming language
• Supports the most frequently used 856xE/EC commands
• Available with new X-Series signal analyzers (MXA/EXA) as a standard feature
• Has command error logging
Areas of Caution:
• Does not cover commands for:• 856x Phase Noise Utility• 856x Spurious Utility
• The X-Series (MXA/EXA) does not currently have Amplitude Correction and Limit Lines features at this time – but this is under development and will be available soon.

http://cp.literature.agilent.com/litweb/pdf/08560-90174.pdf
MXA/EXA:
Removable CPU, option CPU
PSA:
PSA high-performance spectrum analyzers offer 4 levels of security: 1) Display manipulation; 2) Secure erase all memory; 3) User file deletion; and 4) Read-only file mounting. While levels 1) and 2) are standard feature s for all PSA(s), levels 3) and 4) require PSA Option 117.
