Interconnecting the PXIe-5830 Modules
Take the following considerations into account when interconnecting the PXI Express modules
that comprise the PXIe-5830.
•
Inspect all RF connectors before attaching mating cables. Clean with dry compressed air,
if necessary, to remove any contaminants that may be present.
•
Position RF cables with instrument connectors to ensure center pins are straight and
aligned before mating.
•
Press MMPX connectors until they noticeably snap into place.
•
For all threaded RF connectors (SMA and SMA 27 GHz), engage and finger-tighten the
connector nuts. The connector nuts should thread easily without binding, but if not,
ensure the connector is straight and that center pins have not been damaged.
•
Carefully complete tightening all threaded RF connectors to 0.9 N · m (8 lb · in) using an
appropriate torque wrench (not included) or torque screwdriver and driver bit. Tighten
only until the wrench clicks.
Notice
Incorrect torque at SMA connections can damage device connectors and
degrade signal fidelity.
