The M5000 Platform Documentation is a one-stop reference source to help users understand the capabilities of these modular products and learn how to configure them into custom test and measurement solutions for aerospace/defense and quantum control applications. This comprehensive help platform provides an overview of the key products including the M9046A High-performance PXIe Chassis and each of the individual M5000-Series measurement modules. It also covers the M9032A/M9033A System Sync modules, all associated software and drivers, as well as PathWave Test Sync Executive (KS2201A) for HVI programming and PathWave FPGA (KF9000B) for FPGA programming. This online help system also provides requirements and step-by-step guidance on how to configure a system for the desired measurement capability. Solutions to known errors and issues are published to help users troubleshoot during setup, initialization and operation.

The content in each edition of this User Manual is independent of the software release of any of the PXIe products in the M5000 Platform. However, the Python API reference corresponds to the latest available version of the corresponding software.

The latest edition of this Online Help is 2026 Update 1.0.
