6 Keysight M9036A PXIe Embedded Controller User Guide
Introduction M9036A Functional Description
I/O Interfaces
USB
Keysight’s M9036A provides four USB 2.0 Type A ports on the faceplate. All USB
ports are compatible with high-speed, full-speed and low-speed USB devices.
The M9036A controller supports multiple boot devices. The boot priority and
boot device can be configured in BIOS. USB to VGA display adapters are
supported.
DVI-I Connector
The DVI-I connector connects the M9036A to a video monitor. DVI-I supports
both digital (DVI) and analog (VGA) monitors. While connecting to an analog
(VGA) monitor, you need to install the DVI-to-VGA adapter, which is shipped
with the M9036A controller, on the DVI-I connector. DVI-I contains both the
digital and analog connections, (DVI-D and DVI-A), it's essentially a combination
of DVI-D and DVI-A video output within one connector (and cable). The DVI-I
output provides up to 1920x 1200 60 Hz resolution or up to 2048 x 1536 at 75Hz
resolution
DVI to VGA Adapter: The DVI to VGA adapter (really DVI-A to VGA adapters)
connects a regular VGA/SVGA monitor to the DVI-I connector on the controller
module. A DVI-I connection from a video card or monitor will connect to a digital
signal (DVI-D) and an analog signal (VGA) as well.
Ethernet
– Two RJ-45 connectors with speed/link/active LED on the faceplate
GPIB connector
The GPIB connector on M9036A is a micro D-sub 25P connector and is used to
control external bench-top instruments. You need the supplied GPIB adapter
cable to connect instruments. The on-board GPIB controller has the following
features:
– Compatible with the IEEE 488 standard*
– Up to 1.5MB/s data transfer rates
– On-board 2 KB FIFO for read/write operations
– Connect up to 14 instruments
– GPIB is a standard VISA Resource
*Keysight’s M9036A controller includes a GPIB library that implements the GPIB C26 capability. This means
that it is a GPIB compliant controller implementation, but does not implement the GPIB Pass Control. If you
need GPIB Pass Control, use a USB to GPIB adapter or a LAN to GPIB adapter such as the Keysight E5810A
LAN/GPIB Gateway. Also, the M9036A does not support multi-threaded, multi-process GPIB applications.
