Other module and instrument placements can be used, but this configuration
optimizes speed and makes cabling simpler for phase coherent configuration.
The M9300A frequency Reference module must be installed in slot 10 for
proper time synchronization between instruments. For more information, see
.
Sharing the M9300A Frequency Reference
Cabling is different for time-synchronization-only (independent LO) configuration
and phase-coherent (shared LO) configuration.
Time-Synchronized Only, Multi-Channel PXIe VSG (Independent LO)
When phase coherence is not required, cable the instrument as follows for time
synchronized multi-channel operation for independently tunable channels.
8x8 Independent LO Cable Connections:
– Primary 100 MHz connection (8121-2175, long SMB-SMB); chassis
sync; 10 MHz distribution
– Secondary 100 MHz connections (8120-5091, short SMB-SMB);
trigger cables
– LO distribution connections; Semi-rigids (W1312-20266 and W1312-
20267)
– PCIe cable (Y1202A)
