Introduction Upgrading from the M9036A
Trigger bus routing A formal PXI trigger bus specification does not yet exist.
Consequently, trigger bus routing across PXI_TRIG segments may not work on all
non-Keysight PXI chassis. Of course, the PXI_TRIG routing of all Keysight chassis
works with any controller due to the open nature of the drivers. Keysight is
working with PXISA to define a standard chassis trigger routing driver.
SATA Port
The M9037A provides a SATA 2.0 connector and is shipped with a pre-installed
2.5" 240GB SATA 2.5” solid state drive (SSD). The SSD may be replaced from the
module’s front panel without removing the module from the chassis.
Upgrading from the M9036A
If you already have a Keysight M9036A Embedded Controller and you are
upgrading to an M9037A, be aware of the following:
- The GPIB connector and cables are not compatible.
- The video cables and adapters are not compatible.
- The IVI and LabVIEW API drivers and the Soft Front Panel software are not the
same. You will need to update any programs/applications you have written
and rebuild them. The IVI Driver syntax (for the Trigger driver) M9036A used
AgM9036Trigger... (for example,
AgM9036TriggerRouteTrigggerBusToExternal) but the M9037A
uses AgPxiPxTrigger.... Other than the prefix, the commands are
identical.
- The M9037A Trigger Output has a mild pull-down (via a 100 KΩ resistor)
to ~0 V. The M9036A Trigger output floats to ~3 V.
