M9300A PXIe Frequency Reference

 Product description

The Keysight Technologies, Inc. M9300A PXIe frequency reference is a PXIe modular instrument that can be used as a 10 MHz or 100 MHz reference in various solutions. A single M9300A can be shared with up to four PXI VSAs, VSGs or VXTs in one chassis, as shown in Figure 1, to form a multi-channel solution.

Instrument control is provided through a soft front panel and programmatic interfaces tuned to your application development environment of choice.

Product features

• Locks to another reference with a value from 1 to 110 MHz.

• Five 100 MHz outputs

• One 10 MHz output

• Internal 10 MHz OCXO timebase output

Uncompromising values

• Reduces development time and simplifies integration into existing test environments with multiple drivers and programmatic interfaces.

• Reduces startup time with Keysight IO libraries easy configuration, one-step software install, and soft front panel.

• Fast repair turnaround time with Calibrated Core Exchange strategy.

Definitions for specifications

Temperatures referred to in this document are defined as follows:

• Operating ambient temperature = 0 to 55 °C and individual module temperature of ≤ 75 °C

• Room temperature = 20 to 30 °C and individual module temperature of ≤ 55 °C

Specifications describe the warranted performance of calibrated instruments. Data represented in this document are specifications unless otherwise noted.

Specifications are warranted under the following conditions:

• Calibrated instruments that have been stored for a minimum of 2 hours within the operating ambient temperature range

• 30 minute warm-up time

• Calibration cycle maintained

Characteristics describe product performance that is useful in the application of the product. Characteristics are often referred to as Typical or Nominal values and are italicized.

• Typical describes characteristic performance, which 80% of instruments will meet when operated at room temperature.

• Nominal describes representative performance that is useful in the application of the product when operated at room temperature.

Recommended best practices in use

• Use slot blockers and EMC filler panels in empty module slots to ensure proper operating temperatures.

• Keysight chassis and slot blockers optimize module temperature performance and reliability of test.

• At operating ambient temperatures above 45 °C, chassis fan should be set to high.
