Supporting Operating 
System 
The Keysight M8195A supports the following operating systems: 
Windows 10  (32 bit or 64 bit) 
Windows 8.1 (32 bit or 64 bit) 
Windows 8  (32 bit or 64 bit) 
Windows 7    (32 bit or 64 bit) 
Control M8195A from 
M8070A System 
Software for BER Test 
Solutions 
For digital applications that require multi-level signaling like PAM-4, the M8195A 
arbitrary waveform generator can be integrated with the M8070A System Software 
for M8000 Series of BER Test Solutions.  
Once integrated, M8195A will be visible in the module view of M8070A GUI, just like 
any other M8000 Series module.  
 
For M8195A integration with M8070A, following must be installed:  
 
  Keysight IO Libraries Suite 16.3 or higher 
  M8195A software version 1.3 or later 
  M8070A software version 3.0 or later 
 
Once the M8195A module is mounted on to the chassis and relevant connections are 
made, it will be visible in the module view of the M8070A GUI.
