This unit
The Agilent/Keysight 70590A is a MATE (Test System Module Adapter) designed for integration into HP 70000 Series modular measurement systems. This IF section module incorporates external mixers to interface with the RF section of spectrum analyzer configurations, enabling extended measurement capabilities through command translation between CIIL (Control Intermediate Interface Language) and HP 70000 Series native code.
Technical Specifications
- Module Type: MATE Module for HP 70000 Series spectrum analyzer mainframes
- Primary Function: External mixer integration for RF section interfacing
- Control Interface: Translates CIIL commands to HP 70000 Series native code
- Available Options: H69, H72 (Test Module Adapters), H61
- Documentation: User manual available (part number 70590-90010 for Option H69)
Key Features
- Modular design for direct insertion into HP 70000 Series mainframes
- External mixer support for specialized signal analysis requirements
- Native command translation eliminates external control software dependencies
- Compatible with established 70000 series ecosystem
Typical Applications The 70590A suits measurement scenarios requiring external mixer configurations within the 70000 series architecture. RF section expansion, frequency translation analysis, and multi-channel signal measurements benefit from this adapter's mixer integration approach.
Compatibility & Integration This module integrates with Agilent/Keysight 70000 series modular measurement systems and works directly with RF section modules. The adapter supports CIIL-based control, allowing seamless operation within existing 70000 series configurations. The product is discontinued but may remain supported through Keysight resources and service channels, including repair and calibration services where available.
Agilent / Keysight 70590A — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Agilent / Keysight 70590A. Calibration covers analog input channel accuracy and offset at all gain settings, analog output accuracy, digital I/O logic threshold verification, sample rate and timing accuracy, and trigger and synchronization bus functional verification. NI CompactRIO and PXI chassis also undergo backplane trigger line integrity check.. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common Agilent / Keysight 70590A faults: power supply failure (cRIO-9073/9074), C-series slot connector wear, PXI chassis fan failure, GPIB interface failure on VXI controllers, BIOS/EEPROM corruption. NI CompactRIO most common faults are power supply failure on older cRIO-9073/9074 chassis and C-series module slot connector wear from repeated hot-swap cycles. PXI chassis fan failure is the most common wear item — chassis fans are field-replaceable. VXI embedded controllers most commonly develop EEPROM corruption and GPIB interface failure.

Agilent / Keysight 70590A calibration cost
NIST-traceable calibration for the Agilent / Keysight 70590A is $450 (standard — pass/fail certificate and calibration sticker) or $650 (full measured data at every test point, reference standards documented, traceability chain included). Calibration for this instrument covers analog input channel accuracy and offset at all gain settings, analog output accuracy, digital I/O logic threshold verification, sample rate and timing accuracy, and trigger and synchronization bus functional verification. NI CompactRIO and PXI chassis also undergo backplane trigger line integrity check.. Turnaround is 1 to 3 business days after receipt. See full calibration details →
