Overview on M5201A PXIe Downconverter modules 1
1.5.2: M5201A Firmware version requirements for HVI
Table 5 summarizes the M5201x software and firmware versions that are
compatible for HVI programming with the most recent version of the
KS2201A software.
Table 5 Firmware Version Requirements
*Firmware upgrade/downgrade and M5201x software upgrade/downgrade can be performed manually. There is no need to return the module to Keysight.
1.5.3: About HVI Application Programming Interface
The HVI Application Programming Interface (API) is the set of
programming classes and methods that allows the user to create and
program an HVI instance. Refer to the KS2201A PathWave Test Sync
Executive User Guide to know more about the HVI Python API.
HVI core functionality is extended by each instrument with an instrument
specific API. The core API is common to all products and only the
instrument specific HVI API will change (instrument instructions, actions,
events), depending on the products. It is important to differentiate
between the core HVI features and the instrument specific extensions,
which allow a heterogeneous array of instruments and resources to coexist
on a common framework.
The HVI Core API exposes all HVI functions and is a common API for all
products. It defines the base interfaces and classes that are used to create
an HVI, control the hardware execution flow, and operate with data,
triggers, events and actions, but it alone does not include the ability to
control instrument specific operations. The core API defines the hardware
virtual instrumentation framework, and it is the job of the product-specific
HVI instrument extensions to enable instrument functionalities in an HVI.
