1 Introduction
M8040A Modules
The M8040A modules are recognized by the model number and name
located on their front panel.
Each of the supported modules has some standard hardware and software
features that are available with a standard license for that module. Some
upgraded features/components of a module are licensed and are only
available when you purchase and install a license for that option.
The M8040A supports the following modules.
• M8045A High-Performance BERT Pattern Generator-Clock
• M8046A High-Performance BERT Analyzer
• M8057A/B Pattern Generator Remote Head
The M8045A module occupies three slots of the 5-slot M9505A AXIe
chassis. It must be installed in slots 1 through 3 in the AXIe chassis unless
the M9537A AXIe Embedded Controller is installed. The M9537A AXIe
Embedded Controller must be installed in slot 1.
The M8046A module occupies a single slot of the 5-slot M9505A AXIe
chassis.
The M8057A/B remote head is an external box which must be connected
