in the master chassis is designated as the System Master while the first M9381A
instrument in the other (slave) chassis is designated as the Group Master of that
chassis. All the other M9381A instruments in the configuration are designated as
slaves.
Each chassis has its own M9300A PXIe Frequency Reference that is shared by all
the instruments in that chassis. The M9300A PXIe Frequency Reference must be
installed in slot 10 of each chassis. For recommended configuration, the 10MHz
reference signal for both chassis is provided by the M9300A in the master chassis
from the OCXO Out connector. Alternatively, you can use an external 10 MHz
For recommended configuration, the OCXO output is split and
reference signal.
distributed to the two Reference modules using equal length cables as shown in
the figure below. It is critical to synchronize multiple chassis if timing and/or phase
synchronization is important to your measurements. For more information on how
to setup the 10MHz reference, refer to
Synchronizing Multiple Chassis
The M9037A embedded controller is recommended for multi-chassis
configurations. The M9036A embedded controller or standalone PC are both
supported. For a list of personal computers that have been tested to be compatible
with the M9018/M9019A chassis, refer to
PC Tested Configurations with PXI/AXIe
. Similarly, using M9037A or M9036A has several
prerequisites. For more information, please contact your local Keysight
Technologies Inc. representative.
