Introduction
Keysight ZA0060A
Custom IoT Device Functional Test Solution Quick Start Guide
The Keysight ZA0060A is a custom solution based on the X8711A IoT device
functional test solution. It is an over-the-air signaling tester that enables you to
test your IoT device’s transmitter and receiver easily and effectively. It is as simple
as placing your device into a shield box and running the software test plans to get
the transmitter and receiver test results in seconds!
With ZA0060A, you can now extend your test coverage for Bluetooth
®
Zigbee® 3.0, on top of the existing Bluetooth
802.11b/g/n.
This Quick Start Guide is designed to guide you through the hardware and
software setup for the ZA0060A solution before introducing the features and
capabilities of the Zigbee 3.0 and Bluetooth
create and customize your test plan according to your test requirement.
With the use of a USB Coaxial Switch, you are now able to test up to two devices
under test (DUT) sequentially using one measurement system. The ZA0060A
solution supports the use U1810B and U1816A models of USB Coaxial Switch.

Record and export data
Other than viewing the results in the ‘Step Settings’ tab or the Log panel, you may
configure the TAP software using the Result Listener plug-ins. The TAP software
includes Result Listener plug-ins for the purpose of storing results such as Text
Log and CSV files.
– Text Log File allows you to save the text log separately after each run, and
its file names support macros.
– CSV file will save collected data in data analysis software.
The default listener is Simple CSV Listener, which will appear next to the Results
section at Resource bar shown below.
If not already configured, follow the instructions below to configure the plug-ins.
1 Click Simple CSV listed at the bottom of the Log panel.
2 Select the check boxes corresponding to the desired Result Listener plug-ins
on the left tab. Click + to view more options other than Log and Simple CSV.
A simple CSV Result Listener will generate report into specific folders:
– Saving ResultSaveMode is set to Single Report, the report is saved as:
[<CustomPrefix>_]YYYYMMDD_HHmmss_<TestPlan>_<Verdict>.csv
– Saving ResultSaveMode is set to Individual Reports, the reports are saved
as one CSV file per report name into a folder with the name
[<CustomPrefix>_]YYYYMMDD_HHmmss_<TestPlan>_<Verdict>.
3 For Log, configure the File Path settings and set the Filter Options according
to your preference.
4 Click OK to return to your test plan.
5 When your test plan completes, find your recorded results in the default
directory C:\Program Files\Keysight\Tap8\Results to open each file in
Microsoft Excel.
