This installation guide provides installation procedures for the Streaming PCIe card for use with the Anritsu MS2090A and the MS27201A spectrum analyzers. The supporting analyzers use the MX280005A IQ Signal Master software and the installed PCIe data transfer card for capturing and streaming large IQ captures from supported Anritsu analyzers. The PCIe kit consists of a Windows compatible PCIe interface card that connects to Anritsu analyzers directly through a PCIe interface port. Be sure to read the ESD Caution before starting Installing the PCIe Card.
