M9521A AXIe System Module
Startup Guide
9
Introduction
The Keysight M9521A AXIe System Module is a full module height AXIe System
Module (ASM), which manages AXIe chassis functions. The ASM provides these
AXIe extensions:
- provides host PC connectivity (Gen 2 PCIe x8 and/or Ethernet)
- sources timing signals (CLK100, SYNC and FCLK)
- routes STRIG (Star Trigger) to instruments through the backplane
- routes trigger signals through an external parallel trigger bus
- six additional ports for bi-directional triggering
- provides backplane PCIe and Ethernet communication between modules
The shared Gen 2 x8 PCIe interfaces from the ASM to an external host PC
provides up to a 4 GB/s data rate shared among installed modules.
For the ASM and other installed modules, appropriate control software and
instrument drivers must be installed on the host PC.
This Startup Guide, plus additional information, can be found in PDF format on the
AXIe Software and Product Information CD that came with your module. They are
also available on the web at: www.keysight.com/find/M9521A .
For detailed M9521A usage information, refer to the Keysight
M9514A and M9521A User Manual (M9514-90005).
Many computers are not capable of enumerating a sufficient
number of PCIe slots to ensure that slots in an external chassis are
enumerated. Keysight maintains a document listing the
integrated, rack mount, and desktop computers that have been
verified to properly enumerate PCIe devices in the AXIe chassis, at
www.keysight.com/find/axie-chassis .
For general host PC requirements, such as operating system and
RAM requirements, please refer to “Host PC Requirements” on
page 21.
