    Startup Guide Keysight PXI Digital IO Module Introduction The Keysight M9187A PXI Digital IO Module provides 32 high output voltage and current channels along with 32 dual variable threshold input channels. - Each of the output channels can drive the output either high (sourcing up to 0.4A) or low (sinking up to 0.5A), or three-stated (off).

  • Page 10: Step 1: Unpack And Inspect The Module

    Step 1: Unpack and Inspect the Module Step 1: Unpack and Inspect the Module Keysight’s PXI Modules are shipped in materials that prevent static electricity damage. The modules should only be removed from the packaging in an anti-static area ensuring that correct anti-static precautions are taken.

  • Page 11: Inspect For Damage

    To avoid damage when handling a module; do not touch exposed connector pins. Return the module for service Should it become necessary to return a Keysight module for repair or service, follow the steps below: 1 Review the warranty information shipped with your product.

  • Page 12: Step 2: Verify Shipment Contents

    Step 2: Verify Shipment Contents Your shipment should have included the following: - The Keysight PXI M9187A Digital IO module that you ordered. - This document (Keysight PXI M9187A Module Startup Guide). - A Digital IO Module Software and Product Information CD. This CD contains software, drivers and all product printed documentation in PDF format for the PXI Digital IO Module.

    C++, C#, Visual Basic), Keysight VEE, MATLAB, or National Instruments Labview. Accept the license terms and click Next. – Keysight Software License Agreement for drivers for use with LabVIEW Software. The LAbVIEW driver provides access to the functionality of the module through LabVIEW VIs.

  • Page 16: Step 4. Connect The Controller To The Pxi Chassis

    - If you are using a desktop or rack mount PC, install the M9047A PCIe Desktop Adapter in the PC. With a Keysight Y1202A cable, connect the adapter to the System Interface module. - If you are using a laptop PC, install the M9045A PCIe ExpressCard Adapter in the laptop.

  • Page 17: Step 5: Install The Module In The Pxi Chassis

    - PXI hard ware does not support “hot-swap” capabilities (changing modules while power is applied to the chassis). - Before installing Keysight PXI Modules into the chassis, the chassis must be powered off to prevent damage to the PXI mod ule. Remove all cables/terminal blocks from the module prior to installing or removing the mod ule.
  • Page 18 If you are using a remote controller linked to the M9021A Cable Interface, you must Shut Down the PC BEFORE you power down the chassis. When you restore power, you must power up the chassis BEFORE you power up the PC. Keysight M9187A PXI Digital IO Startup Guide...

  • Page 19: Step 6. Verify Operation Of The Module

    Select the module in the center pane (Instrument I/O on this PC). The right-hand Pane shows the instrument properties. Select the Installed Drivers tab then click the Start SFP button. You can use the M9187A Soft Front Panel (SFP) software to set the outputs read the inputs, and verify operation of the module.

  • Page 20: Verify Operation

    If you have another application, either your own program or another instance of the SFP interface, that has initialized the M9187A module, then the SFP enters it’s “monitor” mode. In this mode, you must check the “Allow Control” check box (upper left corner) before you can actually set the digital output channels.
