The Keysight BV0007B is a licensed software application for controlling and analyzing measurements from Keysight power meters and power sensors within the PathWave BenchVue suite. It eliminates the need for programming, enabling direct PC-based instrument control, real-time data acquisition, and rapid test automation across compatible Keysight power measurement platforms.
Technical Specifications
System Requirements
• Processor: Intel Core i5 or equivalent
• RAM: 16 GB
• Storage: 900 MB free space
• Operating Systems: Windows 10 64-bit (Version 1809 or later), Windows 11, Linux, Windows 7, 8, and 8.1
Supported Instruments
The BV0007B controls Keysight power meters and sensors including U2021/2XA, U204/5/6xXA, U2000, U2053, U2063, U2050/60, U848x Series, N191xA, and N8262A models. USB power sensors from the U2000 Series integrate for average power measurements with internal triggering and trace display.
– Key Features
• Instrument Control: Direct manipulation of compatible Keysight power meters and sensors from Windows or Linux workstations
• Data Acquisition & Logging: Intuitive real-time measurement capture and storage
• Data Visualization: Multiple display formats for rapid measurement interpretation
• Data Export: Three-click export to MATLAB, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft Word
• Test Automation: Command Expert and Test Flow tools streamline automated test sequence development
• Measurement Presets: Built-in wireless and radar measurement configurations accelerate setup
– Licensing & Support
Full functionality requires a licensed version with flexible options including perpetual transportable licenses. KeysightCare software support is available. A free basic version exists but runs one revision behind the licensed version and excludes KeysightCare support.
– Typical Applications
RF and microwave power measurement validation, wireless device testing, radar system characterization, and automated production test sequences benefit from the software’s integration of control, logging, and visualization across multiple Keysight sensor platforms.
