The M8196A is a modular instrument packaged in the AXIe form factor. AXIe is an
open standard for high-performance modular instrumentation. Different form factors
of AXIe chassis are available: 13-slot, 5-slot and 2-slot AXIe chassis.
An M9536A AXIe embedded controller can control one or multiple M8196A AWG.
This embedded controller consumes one module slot of the AXIe chassis. Besides
using an embedded controller, the M8196A AWG can be controlled by an external
desktop PC or an external laptop as well through PCIe or USB port. In case of PCIe, a
PCIe adapter card and PCIe cable are needed whereas USB connection simply
requires a USB cable.
When the M8196A AWG, AXIe chassis, PCIe cable, PCIe adapter card and PC are
ordered separately the different components come in different packages and need to
be installed. Please follow the instructions given in chapter 3 of M8196A user's guide
or the instructions given in the user's guide of the AXIe chassis.
In case an M9536A embedded controller has been ordered as part of the
M8196A-BUx system configuration, the M8196A firmware is already installed and
configured on the embedded controller.
