Watch these eight brief videos and learn how to perform application-specific tasks with your Agilent instruments including: IQ data fast capture from signal analyzers, RADAR signal creation for signal generators, waveform pre-distortion and amplitude correction, custom oscilloscope signal decoding, waveform sequencing, instrument automation, and IQTools modular control. MATLAB is now orderable from Agilent as your software environment for most Agilent instruments, and you receive access to the modifiable version of these application examples when you order MATLAB software together with your Agilent instrument.

MATLAB is available from Agilent as your software environment for the M8190A waveform generator. Watch this video (7:03) to learn how to use IQTools, a GUI-based application example created for instrument connection, waveform creation, and amplitude and phase correction. IQTools and the modifiable source code are provided when you order the MATLAB N6171A option with the M8190A so that you can extend IQTools with MATLAB software to meet your specific testing needs. Video hosted on MathWorks website.

This video (3:56) quickly demonstrates how you can create and apply custom analysis functions on Agilent Infiniium oscilloscopes (including all 9000 Series, 90000A Series, 90000 X-Series, and 90000 Q-Series) using the N8806A User-Defined Function option. MATLAB software is automatically included with the N8806A option to create and execute your analysis routines. Video presented by Neil Hoffman (Agilent Digital Specialist) and hosted on MathWorks website.

This video (3:59) quickly demonstrates how you can acquire, filter, and analyze live or recorded signals from all Agilent oscilloscopes using a GUI-based application. MATLAB software is available directly from Agilent with all oscilloscopes as option -061 or -062. The application shown allows you to analyze live scope data using 2-D and 3-D analysis and visualization and performs other analysis.

This M8190A software resource page contains downloadable application examples and videos on how to generate multi-tone, wideband modulation, pulsed-radar, multi-carrier, and arbitrary waveforms for the M8190A waveform generator using MATLAB software available directly for purchase from Agilent as the N6171A option. Video hosted on MathWorks website.

This video (3:48) demonstrates how to acquire, analyze, and graphically visualize live IQ data from an X-Series (CXA, EXA, MXA, PXA) signal analyzers using MATLAB software. MATLAB software is available directly from Agilent as the N6171A. Video hosted on MathWorks website.

This downloadable demo shows you how to generate ideal as well as non-ideal IQ baseband signals for Agilent 33512B, 33522A, and 33522B Waveform Generators
