PXIe backplane trigger 6 routes the External Trigger signal from the M9301A
to the M9311A. In this example, the M9301A has been installed in Slot 8 (Bus
Segment 2), while the M9311A is in Slots 5 (Bus Segment 1). Therefore, PXIe
backplane trigger 6 must be redirected from Bus Segment 2 to Bus Segment
1.
Click the PXI_TRIG6 row in Bus 1.
Use the right to left arrow "←" to set the flow of direction and create
the route from Bus 2 to Bus 1.
PXIe backplane trigger 7 routes the ALC Trigger signal from the M9311A to
the M9310A. Since the M9311A is now in Bus Segment 1 and the M9310A is
in Bus Segment 2, PXIe backplane trigger 7 must be redirected from Bus
Segment 1 to Bus Segment 2.
Click the PXI_TRIG7 row in Bus 2.
Use the left to right arrow "→" to set the flow of direction and create
the route from Bus 1 to Bus 2. For example, in the figure below, the
PXIe backplane trigger 2 (PXI_TRIG2) has been directed from Bus 1 to
Bus 2.
Configuring PXIe Backplane Triggers for Multi-Channel Operations
For a multi-channel system spanning one or more chassis, you must configure
additional backplane triggers for the required synchronization between the
channels in a chassis.
On each master channel, configure the PXI backplane trigger line from the
master channel to all the slave channels.
On each slave channel, configure a unique PXI backplane trigger line as the
handshaking line from the slave channel to the master channel.
Recommended Module Layout for M9381A VSG
The following is the recommended module layout for multiple M9381A PXIe VSGs
in two chassis. The diagram below shows the layout of the second chassis. Each
chassis is configured in the same manner.
