Agilent/Keysight Option 010 is a time-domain software upgrade for compatible network analyzers that transforms frequency-domain measurement data into the time domain through Fourier transformation. It enables engineers to analyze reflection and transmission measurements versus time or distance, extending analysis capabilities beyond standard frequency-domain operation. Installation is performed via a serial-number-specific keyword, with verification through the instrument’s options list and availability of the Transform menu item on the Trace menu.
Technical Specifications
• Measurement domain conversion: frequency to time domain
• Transformation method: Fourier transformation
• Data presentation: measured parameter value versus time or distance
• Installation: keyword-based activation specific to instrument serial number and option number
• Verification: presence of “010” in options list; “Transform” menu item confirmation
• Installation tools: TORX T-10 screwdriver (where applicable)
– Key Features
• Time-domain operation on compatible network analyzers
• Pulse profile analysis capabilities
• Conversion of S-parameter data (reflection and transmission) to time domain
• Distance-domain analysis option
– Typical Applications
Option 010 addresses advanced testing requirements where time-domain analysis is essential, including characterization of impulse response, temporal behavior of RF/microwave components, and distance-based fault location in transmission lines.
– Compatibility & Integration
Option 010 is designed for the following analyzer models: 8719D/ET/ES/DU/ETU/ESU series, 8720D/ET/ES/DU/ETU/ESU series, 8722D/ET/ES/DU/ETU/ESU series, 8510C, 8720C, 8753E, N9917B, and PNA Series (E8362A, E8363A, E8364A). Each upgrade kit is keyed to the specific model number and serial number of the target instrument and cannot be transferred between units. The network analyzer must be in proper working condition prior to option installation.
