The Keysight DAQM910A module data acquisition system is a low-voltage 20-channel multiplexer module. It combines dense, multifunction switching with 80-channel-per-second scan rates to address a broad spectrum of low-voltage data acquisition applications. You can mix two- and four-wire channels on the same module. Additional features include the following:

• two- and four-wire scanning
• maximum 40 Vpk circuit protection and switching
• automatic voltage safety monitoring
• built-in thermocouple reference junction
• SCPI compatible with DAQM901A module (for voltage and temperature measurement applications)

The standard product includes the following:

• 1 DAQM910A multiplexer module
• 1 functional test certificate

Please Note: Firmware version A.03 or above is required on DAQ970A and DAQ973A for compatibility with the DAQM910A.

• Digital I/O for communication for the PXI VNA with external peripherals (i.e. handler)
• Synchronized measurements with the PXI VNA in an automated test environment
• Compatible with the 24-bit digital I/O connector of the PNA and ENA
   

The M9341A digital I/O with the 24-bit digital I/O connector and triggering ports provides communication signals between the PXI vector Network analyzer (VNA) installed in the same PXI chassis and an external handler. This allows the PXI VNA such as the Keysight M937xA and M9485A to be used in an automated test environment.

The M9341A digital I/O is compatible to the 24-bit digital I/O connector on the rear panel of the Keysight VNA such as the PNA and ENA Series.

• 8-bit digital I/O for controlling DUT operation mode with serial/parallel signals
• 24-bit digital I/O for communication for the PXI VNA with external peripherals (i.e. handler)
• Synchronized DC measurements with the PXI VNA. Two DC source outputs (up to ±10 V) with current monitor functions and four DC source inputs for sensing DC voltages from the DUT.

The Keysight M9341B PXIe Digital and Analog I/O is equipped with a 24-bit digital I/O connector and an 8-bit digital interface to allow users to control the device under test (DUT) directly with serial or parallel digital signals. For example, the signals from the M9341B can be applied to select operation modes of the RF front-end module which integrates power amplifiers, switches, low noise amplifiers, duplexer or filters in a single component. The operation with the M9341B is synchronized with the measurement sweep by the Keysight PXI VNA such as the M937xA or M9485A, greatly improving measurement throughput.

For more comprehensive analysis, the M9341B has four analog input connectors to allow sensing of DC voltages from the DUT. The measured DC voltage can be displayed on the PXI VNA screen. The 1-slot module also supports two variable DC source outputs to control the DUT, while the DC source current can be monitored during measurements.

• Single-slot module
  
• Installed in empty slots to ensure proper airflow in the AXIe chassis

In order to ensure proper airflow and cooling in an AXIe chassis, filler modules must be installed in empty slots. The Y1221A AXIe filler module is one-slot wide and is included with the M9502A and M9505A AXIe Chassis. The Y1221A must be ordered separately with the M9514A chassis.

• Connect the trigger buses of multiple Keysight AXIe chassis together to form large systems
• Supported by the Keysight AXIe-based logic analysis systems
• Also compatible with the Keysight 16900A, 16901A and 16902 logic analysis systems
• Cable length: 3.0m

The Y1224A cable enables multiple Keysight AXIe chassis to share clocking, synchronization, and triggering signals. One cable is required to interconnect two AXIe chassis and additional chassis are connected in a daisy-chain fashion (one additional cable per additional chassis). Chassis-to-chassis timing performance is greatly improved if the AXIe module software provides timing correlation between chassis. Chassis-to-chassis timing correlation is currently supported by Keysight AXIe-based logic analysers. This cable is also supported with the 16900A, 16901A and 16902 logic analysis systems. MultiFrame cables can be used with other AXIe modules, but chassis-to-chassis tiiming correlation is not specified. This cable is not supported on non-Keysight AXIe chassis.

The Y1217A is a rail kit designed for the M9010A, M9018B, and M9019A when used in a Keysight rack. It can be used with both the rack mount kit and the cable tray kit. The kit includes support rails and attachment hardware. An M9018B or M9019A that is racked using this rail kit and the cable tray uses 5U of rack space. This kit is not compatible with the Y1270A Front Panel Interfacing Kit.

Applications

• Applications that utilize an external computer to control a PXIe Chassis
• Multi-chassis applications

Functionality

• 1 slot 3U module for use in the system slot of a PXIe Chassis
• Four-link (4x4) or two-link (x8, x16) connection to the PXIe backplane
• Standard x8 PCIe connectors for use with standard PCIe cables

Performance characteristics

The M9023A is a PXIe System Module and is installed in the system slot of a PXIe chassis. When combined with an appropriate host adapter, it will provide a high data BW connection between the host PC and the chassis. The M9023A has a flexible configuration capability. Each card has two Gen 3 x8 PCIe cable links capable of achieving speeds up to 8 GB/s on each port. These two ports can be combined into a single x16 cable link providing a speed of up to 16 GB/s. This means a data-intensive system can be built using high-performance desktop or rack-mounted computers.

When configured in dual x8 mode, the M9023A can be used in multi-chassis systems utilizing a daisy-chain configuration. This configuration has the added advantage of not requiring an instrument slot for daisy-chaining. One port would be connected to an M9048B and the other port would be connected to either an M9022A, M9023A, or M9024A in subsequent chassis. Alternately, the M9023A can be used with an M9037A PXIe embedded controller to interconnect two or more chassis in a multi-chassis system.

To ensure the best performance, the M9023A should be configured in x16 mode and paired with a Gen 3 x16 host PC card such as the Keysight M9049A. In all cases. x8 PCIe cables tested to operate at Gen 3 speeds such as the Keysight Y1202A or Y1203A should also be used.

The M9048B is a PCIe host interface card for computers with PCIe expansion slots. It provides a high performance link from an external computer to an AXIe or PXIe Chassis. The card has a Gen 3 x8 PCIe cable link capable of achieving speeds up to 8 GB/s. This means a high performance system can be built using desktop or rack-mounted computers.

The M9048B utilizes a PCIe switch and clock isolation to provide a high quality clock source driven down the PCIe cable to the PXIe or AXIe chassis. Therefore, it always provides the same high-performance PCIe link regardless of the PC that it’s placed in.

The card utilizes an x8 Molex cable connector and should be used with x8 to x8 PCIe cables tested to operate at Gen 3 speeds such as the Keysight Y1202A or Y1203A. Operation is transparent to the software application and no software drivers are required.
