This Start-Up Guide is intended to lead the user through the four steps of product installation as summarized in the diagram below. An optional fifth step shows how to perform an operational verification of the U5309A PCIe High-Speed Digitizer. Step 1: Unpack and Inspect...
(see warranty information at beginning of this document). To avoid damage when handling a module, do not touch any exposed components or connector pins. http://www.keysight.com/find/tips for information on preventing damage to your Keysight equipment. Keysight U5309A Startup Guide...
Name and address of owner. A P.O. box is not acceptable as a return address. Product model number (for example, U5309A). Product serial number. The serial number label is located on the top cover of the module. The serial number can also be read from the Soft Front Panel interface, but only after the hardware is installed.
Step 2: Verify U5309A Shipment Contents Step 2: Verify U5309A Shipment Contents The following items are also included with your U5309A PCIe High-Speed Digitizer order: Part Number Quantity Description U5309A PCIe High-Speed Digitizer. U1092-80001 Coaxial cable, MMCX (male) to BNC (male), 1 m.
Keysight IO Libraries Suite (IOLS) The Keysight IO Libraries Suite (IOLS) contains the Keysight Connection Expert. This software is included with your shipment (CD part number E2094-60003), and is also available at www.keysight.com/find/IOsuite. This software must be installed first.

2. From the High-Speed Digitizers Applications DVD launch the installer. 3. Follow the installer prompts and select the applications your want to install. For complete list of application options supported by your digitizer, please refer to product’s datasheet. Keysight U5309A Startup Guide...
Follow ESD precautions when handling and installing the U5309A. 2. The U5309A features a x8 PCIe bus interface, and should be installed in either a x8 or x16 PCIe slot. 3. When installing the U5309A, ensure that it has optimum cooling. Do not install it in a position where the integrated cooling fans may be obstructed.
When disconnecting the auxiliary power cable, it is important to push it away from the PCB side of the U5309A in order to disengage the friction lock. Failure to do this could cause the module side of the connector to be withdrawn at the same time thus damaging it.

Step 5: Verify Operation of the U5309A Module Step 5: Verify Operation of the U5309A Module Keysight Connection Expert The intention of this step is to verify correct operation of the newly installed module. Run Keysight Connection Expert by clicking the task bar icon , and select Connection Expert.
Step 5: Verify Operation of the U5309A Module Driver Graphical Interface: MD2 Soft Front Panel The Keysight MD2 SFP (Soft Front Pannel) is a graphical interface for High-Speed Digitizer Instrument Drivers that enables the control of any supported digitizers. The MD2 SFP can be launched from Keysight Connection Expert, directly from the Windows Start Menu >...
Perform a Verification of the U5309A (optional) Requirements for Verification The correct operation of the U5309A may be verified by the use of a simple application which carries out several performance checks on a signal acquired from an external Function Generator.

Step 5: Verify Operation of the U5309A Module AgMD2Verify checks the version of the Control FPGA firmware. If the version is not up-to-date, the tool will automatically propose to update the firmware using the "Firmware Update Utility". Once the Control FPGA firmware has been updated successfully, please power off your computer and restart it again for the update to take effect.
