If you use an M9036A Controller, you will need to install an additional M9021A PCIe
interface in chassis 1, slot 2 to connect chassis 1 to chassis 2. In that case, VSA #1
will need to occupy slots 3, 4, and 5.
Other module and instrument placements can be used, but this configuration
optimizes speed and makes cabling simpler for phase coherent configuration.
The M9300A PXIe Frequency Reference must be installed in slot 10 for proper
time synchronization between instruments. For more information, see
. To use one M9300A PXIe Frequency
the M9300A Frequency Reference
Reference for multiple chassis, see
Synchronizing Multiple Chassis
Cabling is different for time-synchronization-only (independent LO) configuration
and phase-coherent (shared LO) configuration. See the following sections for
cabling information:
Time-Synchronized, Multi-Channel PXIe VSA & VSG (Independent LO)
When phase coherence is not required, cable the instrument as follows for time
synchronized multi-channel operation for independently tunable channels.
4x4 Independent LO Cable Connections:
– Primary 100 MHz connection (8121-2175, long SMB-SMB)
– Secondary 100 MHz and IF connections (8120-5091, short SMB-SMB)
– Semi-rigids
– PCIe cable (Y1202A)
