8 Keysight M9036A PXIe Embedded Controller User Guide
Introduction M9036A Functional Description
Keysight’s Connection Expert shows the GPIB interface as a VISA resource
connected to an Keysight 34420A DMM (VISA address is GPIB0::22::INSTR). Refer
to the IO Libraries Suite documentation for general VISA programming
information or your GPIB instrument documentation for specific VISA
programming information.
PXI trigger (TRIG)
The front panel PXI trigger connector is an SMB connector and is used to route
an external trigger signal to or from the PXI backplane or from a
software-generated trigger. Trigger signals are TTL compatible and edge
sensitive. The M9036A provides the following trigger routing possibilities:
– From the front panel PXI trigger connector to a specified PXI backplane
trigger bus line.
– From a selected PXI backplane trigger bus line to the front panel PXI
trigger connector.
– From a software-generated trigger to a specified PXI backplane trigger bus
line.
– From a software-generated trigger to the front panel SMB connector via a
specified PXI backplane trigger bus line.
Trigger IO functions All trigger modes are programmable through the
factory-installed IVI trigger driver (M9036). You can learn more about the trigger
functions by using the M9036A Soft Front Panel software available at: Select the
Windows Start >All Programs >Keysight > M9036 PXIe Embedded Controller > M9036
SFP.
The National Instrument’s NI-488.2 driver software is not compatible with
Keysight’s IEEE 488 driver. Anytime you install National Instrument’s
NI-488 driver (such as with LabVIEW) your M9036A GPIB port
might stop working. The repair process is to uninstall the NI-488
driver (using the Windows Add/Remove program) and reinstall
Keysight’s GPIB driver:
If you need to use the NI-488.2 driver, you must first uninstall the
Keysight driver:
- From the Windows Add/Remove program, select and uninstall
the ADLINK GPIB driver (ADLINK GPIB driver vx.xx).
- Then install the NI-488.2 driver.
- To reinstall the Keysight driver:
- From C:/program files (x86)/Agilent/M9036/bin
run AdlinkGpib_setup.exe to reinstantiate the Keysight GPIB
driver.
