Step 5: Verify Operation of the M9709A Module
For Linux users, the
AgMD2Verify
utility is installed by the
md2-verify
pack under
/usr/bin/AgMD2Verify
. After installation, you can launch AgMD2Verify or
AgMD2Verify <
PXI_address
>, specifying the PXI address in case of multiple
instruments, e.g.:
--$ AgMD2Verify <PXI51::0::0::INSTR>
4. The screen capture below shows the result of a successful verification:
AgMD2Verify checks the version of the Control FPGA firmware. If the version is
not up-to-date, the tool will automatically propose to update the firmware using
the "Firmware Update Utility". Once the Control FPGA firmware has been
updated successfully, please power off your computer and restart it again for the
update to take effect. You may then proceed with the AgMD2Verify utility as
described in this section.
If a Problem is Found
1. Verify that you have made all configuration settings as shown above.
2. Verify that the RF generator is ON and producing the desired signals at the end
of the cable. This can be done with an oscilloscope.
3. Verify that the problem is reproducible.
