MATLAB overview
MATLAB is a well-respected software environment and programming language created by MathWorks and now available directly from Keysight as an option with most signal generators, signal analyzers, and spectrum analyzers. MATLAB extends the capabilities of Keysight signal analyzers and generators to make custom measurements, analyze and visualize data, create arbitrary waveforms, control instruments, and build test systems. It provides interactive tools and command-line functions for data analysis tasks such as signal processing, signal modulation, digital filtering, and curve fitting. MATLAB has over 1,000,000 users in diverse industries and disciplines, and it is a standard at more than 3,500 colleges and universities worldwide. Three MATLAB configurations are available and range from basic MATLAB capabilities that allow acquisition and analysis of data to full support for signal processing, communications, filter design, and automated testing.
MATLAB software is available for purchase directly from Keysight with the purchase of a new compatible instrument:
- Spectrum and Signal Analyzers: X-Series, PSA
- PXI Signal Analyzer: M9290A CXA-m
- Vector Transceiver: M9420A PXIe, M9421A PXIe
- Vector Signal Generators: X-Series, ESG, PSG
- Vector Signal Generators: M9381A PXIe, M9392A PXI
- PXI and AXIe Controllers: all models
- Arbitrary Waveform Generators: M8190A, M9330A, M9331A, 81180B
- Pulse Function Arbitrary Noise Generator: 81150A, 81160A
MATLAB capabilities
- Extend the functionality of Keysight signal and spectrum analyzers with MATLAB by analyzing and visualizing measurements, testing modulation schemes, and automating measurements
- Excite electronic devices using Keysight signal generators with simple or complex waveforms created in MATLAB
- Test the functionality of electronic devices by making measurements with Keysight instruments and comparing them against known baselines in MATLAB
- Develop a GUI or application that enables users to perform data analysis or testing
- Characterize an electronic device to determine how closely it matches the design
- Verify new algorithms or measurement routines using live data from Keysight instruments
- Design custom digital filters in MATLAB and apply them to signals acquired from a Keysight instrument
