Take the following considerations into account when interconnecting the PXI
Express modules that comprise the PXIe-5832.
■
Inspect all RF connectors before attaching mating cables. Clean with dry
compressed air, if necessary, to remove any contaminants that may be
present.
■
Position RF cables with instrument connectors to ensure center pins are
straight and aligned before mating.
■
Press MMPX and MMCX connectors until they noticeably snap into place.
■
For all threaded RF connectors (SMA, SMA 27 GHz, and 2.4 mm), engage and
finger-tighten the connector nuts. The connector nuts should thread easily
without binding, but if not, ensure the connector is straight and that center
pins have not been damaged.
■
Carefully complete tightening all threaded RF connectors to
0.9 N · m(8 lb · in) using an appropriate torque wrench (not included) or torque
screwdriver and driver bit. Tighten only until the wrench clicks.
Notice
Incorrect torque at SMA connections can damage device
connectors and degrade signal fidelity.
