AXIe Embedded System Module (ESM) Option U20 with USB Introduction
AXIe Embedded System Module (ESM) Option U20 with USB
The Option U20 ESM provides the same features as the standard ESM and adds a
USB 2.0 port
*
.
This USB port provides the following features:
-
It enables using the AXIe chassis and the supported USB compatible AXIe
modules and software with any host controller that has a USB 2.0 port.
- Either the USB port or the PCIe port may be used -- but not both
simultaneously. To change connectivity between USB and PCIe, power down
the chassis and host PC. Connect either a USB or PCIe cable, but not both.
Power up the system.
-
USB provides easy PC connectivity and uses less expensive and longer cables
than PCIe. USB is physically hot pluggable, however you must restart the
software controlling the module(s) when a USB connectivity change is made.
You do not need to reboot the chassis or host PC.
- USB provides control for the chassis and a number of Keysight modules.
Please refer to module datasheets and documentation to determine if a
particular module is supported. USB-compatible and PCIe compatible
modules cannot be used at the same time. If you are controlling an AXIe
module via USB, you must change cable connections and reboot the host PC
before controlling an AXIe module via PCIe.
* The USB port requires AXIe chassis firmware 1.3.37 or later. Refer to M9502A/M9505A User Guide.
The USB port is supported only for specific Keysight AXIe
modules and software. Refer to the documentation for the
supported modules and software for USB use and operating
instructions.
Some AXIe test system software applications, such as the
Keysight logic and protocol analyzer software and modules,
sets and uses specific trigger lines in the AXIe chassis. Do
not use the AXIe chassis Soft Front Panel (SFP) software or
the AXIe chassis web interface to set or reroute any of the
AXIe chassis trigger lines. Rerouting any of the trigger lines
may cause the application software to not function
correctly.
USB
STOP!
IMPORTANT: The installation and setup information in this manual is generic.
The USB port is supported only through specific Keysight software
applications and modules such as the Keysight logic and protocol analyzer
software and modules. These AXIe systems that use the USB port may require
a different installation and setup procedure than described in this manual.
Refer to the installation documentation supplied with your AXIe module or
system for detailed installation information.
