Page 11: Introduction Getting Started Additional Documents
/ 12 Additional Documents Introduction The M8290A rack-mountable modular coherent test system for the AXIe platform is designed to address the 400G speed class in a significantly narrower form factor and a more attractive price point than today’s oscilloscope-based solutions for this speed class. - Page 12 The M8290A Coherent Test Solution comprises an M9537A AXIe embedded controller. This controller can control one or multiple M829xA and consumes one module slot of the AXIe chassis. The M8290A Coherent Test Solution comes with all required software pre-installed and configured at the factory.

Multiframe Input Synchronizes timing signals with multiple daisy-chained chassis.
- Page 39 M829xA module to work properly, the AXIe modules must boot in a certain order. To assure that this order is maintained at all times, a startup delay needs to be configured on the AXIe chassis’ system module. All M8290A systems are pre-configured accordingly at the factory. However, if a different AXIe chassis is used with any M829xA module, it may be necessary to set the startup delay manually.
