PXIe-5842 Operation Guidelines
Avoiding Damage when Making Direct Connections
to the PXIe-5842
Because the PXIe-5842 is a precision RF instrument, it is sensitive to ESD and
transients. When you make direct connections to the PXIe-5842, you can avoid
damaging the RF ports by adhering to the following guidelines.
■
Apply external signals only while the hardware is powered on.
Notice
Applying external signals while the hardware is powered off
may cause damage.
■
Ensure you are properly grounded when manipulating cables or antennas
connected to the instrument.
■
If you are using non-insulated devices, such as an RF antenna, ensure the
devices are maintained in a static-free environment.
■
If you are using an active device, such as a preamplifier or switch routed
to the PXIe-5842, ensure that the device cannot generate signal transients
greater than the RF and DC specifications of the PXIe-5842.
Avoiding Damage when Removing Modules from
the Chassis
If you need to move your composite instrument or remove individual modules for
any reason, take care to avoid damaging modules or cables by first disconnecting all
interconnections made between the modules of the instrument.
Notice
All interconnections made between the in-chassis modules of
your composite instrument must be disconnected prior to removing any
