Page 16: Unpack And Inspect
Unpack and Inspect Unpack and Inspect The modules are shipped in materials which prevent damage from static. Modules should only be removed from the packaging in an anti-static area ensuring that correct anti-static precautions are taken. Store all modules in anti-static envelopes when not in use. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components. -
Page 17: Inspect For Damage
Unpack and Inspect Inspect for Damage Inspect for Damage After unpacking an instrument, inspect it for any shipping damage. Report any damage to the shipping agent immediately, as such damage is not covered by the warranty (see warranty information at beginning of this document). To avoid damage when handling a module, do not touch exposed connector pins. - Page 18 Unpack and Inspect Return an Instrument for Service nuts and place the instrument in a sealed container and mark the container - FRAGILE-. 5. On the shipping label, write ATTENTION REPAIR DEPARTMENT and the RMA number. In your correspondence, refer to the modules by serial number and the instrument by model number.

D – Input Full Scale range selection allows the user to choose a full scale range in Volts for the M9703A(s). This is the range of voltages (centered at Offset) over which the 12-bit ADC quantization steps occur. For M9703A this is either 1V or 2V. - Page 26 O – Slope (trigger) is used to distinguish between rising and falling edges when trigger type is set to edge. P – Option string is the option string literal that is passed to the M9703A IVI-COM driver on initialization. Do NOT change this unless you have consulted the MD1 IVI- COM driver help and clearly understand the syntax because changes can cause seemingly unusual or unpredictable behavior. ...
- Page 27 R – sim is a radio control that allows the user to use simulated M9703A modules. By entering a number of simulated modules in the box to the right of sim and then checking the box at the left, the modules and channels control is cleared and repopulated with virtual (simulated) instances of M9703A modules. ...
- Page 28 MAC Demo Software Setup tab U – Acquire is the third button pressed in the GUI when using actual M9703A hardware. In simulate mode, there is no real hardware to send an initiate command to, so the acquire step is skipped in simulate mode. Acquire will initiate an acquisition across the entire configured M9703A module set and cause the M9703A modules to fill their acquisition RAM. ...

If there is more than one M9703A, then the next PXI address is given on the very next line followed again by the list of channels with associated magnitude, phase correction. - Page 32 MAC Demo Software Setup tab Channel3,1,1.99 Channel4,1,2.28 Channel5,1,3.30 Channel6,1,4.48 Channel7,1,3.36 Channel8,1,2.24 B – Module is the specific module that contains the acquisition channel from which we wish to extract magnitude and phase measurements from. It will be identified by the PXI address or a simulated name as shown in the example above.

Page 33: Analysis Tab
MAC Demo Software Analysis tab Analysis tab A – Segment is the selected segment for analysis in this tab. All analysis in the plots will concentrate on the segment chosen (in range of 0…n-1 where n = Nbr of Segments from setup tab in main form of GUI). A different value than 0 can be entered here and then subsequently the Recalculate button (G) needs to be pressed to update all plots. - Page 34 0. The example waveform here has ringing on the edges of the phase transitions due to IF filter bandwidth of the DDC in the M9703A, and this windowing technique can improve the precision of the resulting phase measurement assuming some imperfections in centering the rectangular measurement interval using the parameters just discussed.
