Configuration Guide
This guide is to assist in the ordering process for the first-generation
MXG analog and vector signal generators.
Migrate to the new Keysight Technologies, Inc. EXG X-Series
Signal generator and generate true performance You CAN Upgrade!
The new EXG offers more capability than the first-generation MXG, including low frequency Options can be added
coverage to 9 kHz, reduced spurious levels, larger waveform memory, wider modulation after initial purchase.
bandwidth and robust reverse power protection. New features include real-time signal
generation and a built-in, multi-function generator. For more information, visit www.keysight.com/find/N5181A_upgrades
