The Agilent/Keysight 85620A Mass Memory Module is a self-contained storage and processing accessory that expands the computational and data logging capabilities of compatible portable spectrum analyzers. It operates as an integrated computer without requiring external controllers, enabling unattended measurement execution, complex routine automation, and extended trace archival. The module delivers advanced measurement personalities, programmable limit-line functions, and single-key execution of stored measurement sequences—essential for semi-automated benchtop testing and field deployment scenarios.
