N9032B PXA Signal Analyzer Upgrades

Most all of the N9032B options that are sold at the time of instrument purchase are also available as an upgrade option. The upgrade contents are listed in the tables below as Hardware, Software, License Key, or some combination of the three.  Hardware retrofit kits will contain the assemblies to be installed as well as the installation instructions.  In many cases a license key will be required to activate the hardware option or measurement application.

Upgrade options are categorized as:

  • Internal Hardware Upgrades (Ex. Preamplifier or Analysis Bandwidth)
  • External Hardware Upgrades (Ex. Rackmount Kit, etc..)
  • Instrument Software (Ex. Instrument Software or Measurement Applications)

For information on upgrades for other Signal / Spectrum Analyzers see the  Signal / Spectrum Analyzer Upgrade Center

Internal Hardware Upgrades:

Before a hardware upgrade is purchased from Keysight the following steps should be taken:

  1. Go to the "Installed By" column and read the installed by definition.
  2. Go to the "Upgrade Contents" column and read the installation instructions by selecting the "Install Note" link, if available for the desired upgrade option.

If an upgrade option is going to be installed by a Keysight Service Center, additional labor charges will apply. Your Keysight field engineer can provide an all inclusive quote for this.

All instrument adjustments are automated and require the use of the Keysight Performance Verification & Adjustment Software

Many hardware upgrades will require the redemption and installation of a license key file (.lic) to activate the option. Once a redemption certificate is received the license key file can be redeemed at the Keysight Software License Redemption Website

1 While the completion of the recommended adjustments and verification tests for a given option upgrade does verify the functionality of the option, it does not guarantee that the entire instrument meets all published specifications. A full instrument calibration is the only way to guarantee that all instrument specifications are being met.
2 The instrument calibration data file MUST be transferred in order for the analyzer to meet specifications. If the cal file is not transferred all adjustments and verification tests must be performed. Refer to the Installation Note in the above table for details
3 Upgrade can be performed by the User without any performance verification required if the instrument being upgraded is still within it's original factory calibration cycle and no major repairs or adjustments have been performed on the instrument. See the upgrade installation note for more details.

Instrument Software:

Instrument Software Update:

The software update package for the PXA Signal Analyzer contains the spectrum analyzer measurement application, all the advanced measurement application software, and all other updates required by the individual measurement assemblies inside the instrument.

Keysight recommends updating the instrument software version whenever an internal hardware upgrade or measurement application is installed into the analyzer.

The latest revision of the instrument software installer can be found at: 

Measurement Applications:

To see the complete list of software measurement applications available for the N9032B Signal Analyzer see:

Measurement Applications require the redemption and installation of a license key file (.lic). Measurement application upgrades are meant to be performed by the end user customer, and no adjustments or performance verification tests are required.

In order to redeem a license key, the end user customer must have a valid redemption certificate and then go to the Keysight Software License Redemption Website
