Power up the Controller If you are using a remote controller and you have installed the interface cable, you CAUTION must power up the chassis BEFORE you power up the PC. When you power down your chassis, shut down the PC BEFORE you power down the chassis. If you are using an embedded controller, complete the following steps: 1.
Step 4: Install the Mod ule PXI hardware does not support "hot-swap" capabilities (changing modules while CAUTION power is applied to the chassis). Before installing a module into the chassis, the chassis must be powered off to prevent damage to the module. This Module can be used in a chassis with a PXIe and PXI-H hybrid slots.

Operational Proced ure The following procedure was created using a PNA. The PNA uses its two internal sources, one for the RF and the second as the LO signals. The PMAR (Power Meter As Receiver) measurement method was chosen to characterize the IF Output performance. The M9362AD01 performance can be checked against the Output Power characteristics in “General Characteristics”...
