1 Introduction to the PXIe Chassis
Keysight provides three PXIe chassis in the PXIe Chassis Family:
– M9010A – a Gen 3, 24 GB/s,10-Slot PXI chassis
(www.keysight.com/find/M9010A)
– M9018B – a Gen 2, 8GB/s, 18-Slot PXI chassis
(www.keysight.com/find/M9018B)
– M9019A – a Gen 3, 24 GB/s, 18-Slot PXI chassis
(www.keysight.com/find/M9019A)
The PXIe chassis is the backbone of a PXIe system. These chassis have a high
performance backplane providing PXI modules in the chassis the ability to
communicate rapidly with one another and to PC. It also provides power and
cooling for the modules.
The PXIe Chassis Family Driver supports five PXIe Chassis including the M9010A,
M9018A, M9018B, M9019A, and M9043A. The M9018A is now discontinued, but
still fully supported by the PXIe Chassis Family Driver. The M9018B is a drop-in
replacement for the M9018A. The M9043A is only available as part of a Keysight
solution. The M9043A has all the features of the M9019A plus an integrated High
Frequency Reference clock. The High Frequency Reference clock features match
those found in the M9300A, thus providing all the M9300A features without
consuming a module slot.
For information on using M9018A, refer to the user documentation
available at www.keysight.com/find/M9018A. For information
regarding using the PXIe Family Chassis Driver with the M9018A,
see “Using the M9018A Chassis with the PXIe Chassis Family
Driver” on page 28.
It is assumed that you have turned on the chassis system,
installed the Keysight IO Libraries Suite, the chassis drivers, and
the chassis Soft Front Panel. The Keysight PXIe Chassis Family
Startup Guide provides step-by-step guidance on turning on the
chassis system.
