Using MATLAB with Agilent X-Series Signal Analyzers (MXA/EXA) and PSA Spectrum Analyzers
MATLAB® is a well known software environment and programming language with over 1,000,000 users. MATLAB enables you to configure, control, and acquire data from Agilent X-Series signal analyzers (MXA/EXA) and PSA spectrum analyzers. Once data is in MATLAB, you can analyze and visualize that data using interactive tools and command-line functions for data analysis tasks such as signal processing, statistical analysis, digital filtering, curve fitting, and nonlinear optimization. MATLAB is also used for developing Test & Measurement applications.
Software requirements:
