The M9502A AXIe Chassis is fully compatible with the AXIe 1.0 specification. It includes an embedded system module (ESM) that does not take up an instrument slot. This system module performs the chassis management functions contained in the AXIe specification. Additionally, it provides PCI and LAN interfaces for connection to an external computer, external clock and trigger connectors, and Keysight-exclusive, inter-chassis synchronization connectors. The local bus implemented in the M9502A provides the maximum 62 pairs allowed by the AXIe specification. Combine the M9502A with the M9048A PCIe Desktop Adaptor to achieve the highest system bandwidth.

The M9502A is perfect for transportable applications that require a higher performance of AXIe. It can also be installed in a rack and the instrument modules slots are arranged horizontally to minimize rack space. This arrangement combined with a high-performance cooling system allows the chassis to be racked in only 2U of space. The M9502A is also designed to be easily maintained as both the power supply and fan tray can be removed while the chassis remains in the rack.

The Keysight S7970A playback solutions enable quality playback of previously recorded data representing live signal environments. At the heart of the S7970A streaming playback solution is the M9383A PXIe microwave signal generator, a compact modular instrument that provides frequency coverage from 1 MHz to 20 GHz or 44 GHz, with up to 320 MHz of streaming modulation bandwidth.

The Keysight S7960A Record solution enables quality recording of live signal environments and in-depth analysis in a convenient, transportable package.  You can quickly and easily record long duration signal files, preview the data, and select the portions of interest.  Additionally, files can be exported to the 89601200C Vector Signal Analysis software or N6820VRXE Virtual Receiver search and classification software.

The M9046A PXIe 18-slot chassis delivers the power and cooling required for high-performance applications. It includes 3 PXIe hybrid slots which gives the system designer the flexibility to mix PXIe and hybrid-compatible modules. With its Gen 3 backplane and x24 system slot, it is ready to tackle high-data bandwidth applications.

The M9046A is new from the ground up including a new power supply design providing unprecedented power per-slot capabilities with the ability to monitor power and control switching frequency on a per-slot basis. With improved airflow, the improvement in cooling performance results in superior acoustic performance with up to a maximum of 85 watts per slot. The chassis is also designed for easy integration into large systems containing multiple PXIe chassis and other non-PXI instrumentation including access to 8 hardware trigger lines without consuming a slot.

Cooling high-power PXI Modules (>38W) is complex and has many variables. Variations in Chassis and Module designs result in different cooling characteristics, such as cooling per slot and the cooling profile across a module within a slot that can impact the modules specifications and safety.

Due to that complexity and lack of an interoperable standard, high-power PXI Chassis and Modules from different companies were designed separately and may not be interoperable. Currently, there is not an initiative within the PXISA to try to specify a mechanism for guaranteeing interoperability, so it is recommended that you use the high-power PXI Chassis from the same company you are purchasing the high-power PXI Module from.
