EMX-4250/4350/4380
1)
Set up the PXI Express chassis. See the chassis’ installation guide for assistance.
2)
Make sure the PXI Express chassis is powered off.
3)
Select a PXIe slot or a hybrid slot in the PXI Express chassis for the EMX-4250/4350/4380
and insert it carefully.
4)
After the EMX-4250/4350/4380 is inserted all the way, secure it with the screws at the top
and bottom of the EMX-4250/4350/4380 front panel.

EMX-4016B/EMX-4016M
1)
The EMX-4016B/ EMX-4016M BoB is supplied in a standard 19" rack mounting enclosure.
For bench use, we recommend that the four self-adhesive rubber feet are attached to the
bottom panel.
2)
Connect the power supply adaptor, and ensure correct voltage level and necessary grounding
3)
Connect the 25 pin Micro D-Sub cables from EMX-4250/51 to the BoB. Observe that J1 & J2
should not be interchanged, if you are using EMX-4250. If you are using EMX-4251, connect
the cable only to J1 (Ch-1 to Ch-8)
4)
Connect transducer cables to appropriate inputs, and buffered outputs to external equipment
5)
The EMX-4016B/ EMX-4016M BoB does not use internal fans for forced air cooling. It does
not require special cooling arrangements. Do not keep it near to heat sources, and ensure
thermally stable operating environment (with ambient environment conditions as per
specifications)

1)
Power LED (Glows when the power supply adaptor is connected)
2)
Bi-colour Input signal health monitoring LED (LEDs will be GREEN during normal
operation and will turn RED if an OPEN or SHORT is detected by the digitizer module when
the input is set to IEPE)

EQUIREMENTS
The power requirements of the PXIe module are provided in the
Power Consumption
section (page
62). As with any backplane-based system where modules share power, such as VXI and PXI, the
possibility exists where certain plug-in module combinations can draw too much power from a
power supply rail. As such, it is imperative that the chassis provide adequate power for the modules
installed.

OFTWARE
After the hardware has been assembled, the next step in installing an EMX-4250/4350/4380 is to
install the instrument driver. Refer to the
Getting Started with the Instrument
in
Section 2
to continue
the installation process.
