Agilent/Keysight J6801A

The Agilent/Keysight J6801A is a Distributed Network Analyzer (DNA) module that is a data acquisition system for LAN and WAN network testing and characterization. It operates with its own real-time operating system and connects via TCP/IP/Ethernet to a PC or server controller. The J6801A supports any plug-in Line Interface Module (LIM) and can be daisy-chained with other J6801A units for distributed measurement campaigns.

An external GPS receiver interface enables global time synchronization, while Agilent Control & Sync technology coordinates timing with adjacent J6800A, J6801A, or J6802B units.
