Related Documentation Agilent M9202A Introduction The scope of this Startup Guide is to detail the processes of receiving and installing the Agilent M9202A PXI Express 12-bit Wideband IF Digitizer, installing the required software, and verifying basic module operation. If you have any questions after reviewing this information, please contact your local Agilent representative or contact us through our website at www.agilent.com/find/assist Related Documentation...
Inspect for damage Step 1: Unpack and Inspect the Module The module is shipped in materials which prevent damage from static. The module should only be removed from the packaging in an anti-static area ensuring that correct anti-static precautions are taken.
Return the module for service Product model number (for example, M9202A). Product serial number (for example, USxxxxxxxx). The serial number label is located on the side panel of the module. The serial number can also be read from the Soft Front Panel interface, but only after the software is installed Description of failure or service required 4.
Return the module for service Step 3: Install the Software System Requirements Item Requirements Windows Vista® SP1 and SP2, Linux Operating sys- kernel 2.6 or higher (32 or 64-bit), Windows XP SP3 Windows 7® (32 or 64-bit), All versions. Debian 6.0, CentOS 5 Processor 600 MHz or higher required 1 GHz 32-bit (x86), 1 GHz 64-bit...

Return the module for service Install the Software The M9202A PXI Express 12-bit Wideband IF Digitizer module software is located on the Agilent MD1 High- Speed Digitizer Software and Product Information CD CD (M9210-90007) and the Agilent IO Library Suite CD (E2904-60003).
Return the module for service Step 4: Install the Module PXI hardware does not support "hot-swap" operation. Before installing the module into the chassis, power off the chassis to prevent damage to the module. The module can be installed in any PXIe slot marked with a peripheral slot compatibility image (a circle containing the slot number).

Conducting a Self-Test Conducting a Self-Test The purpose of this self-test is to verify that the unit functions correctly, in that it can self-calibrate and communicate with the processor controlling it. When the SFP is launched it will initiate a self-calibration which takes a little over 1 minute. Verify that no error is shown in the lower left hand log area.
Conduct M9202A Operational check (optional) Conduct M9202A Operational check (optional) Requirements for Verification The M9202A is verified by using it to trigger on and visualize a signal from a Function Generator. The trigger must be stable and the signal frequency and amplitude must correspond to that set on the generator. Required Hardware To verify that the module works requires an external signal source which will be sent to both the input and the trigger.
Conduct M9202A Operational check (optional) Figure 6 - SFP showing measured waveform If a Problem is Found 1. Verify that you have set all configuration settings as shown above. 2. Verify that the RF Generator is ON and producing the desired signals at the end of the BNC cables. This can be done with an oscilloscope.

The Modular Tangram www.agilent.com www.agilent.com/find/modular The four-sided geometric symbol that appears in Agilent modular product literature is called a tangram. The goal of this seven-piece www.agilent.com/find/digitizers puzzle is to create shapes—from simple to complex.
