M8194A Software Installation 2
Post Installation Steps
Follow the post installation steps as shown below:
1 Shut down PC and instrument.
2 Connect the instrument to the PC using the PCIe cable.
3 Switch on the instrument. Wait until the ‘Access’ LED of the M8194A
has switched from red to green.
4Switch on the PC.
5 The PC should automatically recognize the instrument.
Check this in the device manager; e.g. via Start > Control Panel >
Device Manager, or right-click Computer > Manage > Device
Manager:
• In case of PCIe: The instrument should be visible in the device tree
as Keysight Technologies Modular Devices > M8194A
• In case of USB: The instrument should be visible in the device tree as
Keysight Modular Platform (AMP/AXIe) > Keysight Technologies
USB AMP/AXIe Chassis
6 (For PCIe only) Check if the M8194 is also visible in the Connection
Expert. The connection expert can be opened by clicking its icon in
the system tray. If something went wrong and the instrument is not
showing in the PXI section, it may be necessary to reboot the PC
once more.
If M8194A is already powered up and connected to PC using the PCIe,
just reboot the PC and start with step 5. No such reboot step is required
in case of USB connection.
In case of PCIe, post installation steps must be followed strictly in the
same order as mentioned for successful connection of the PC with
M8194A. However, in case of USB no such restriction is applicable i.e.
the PC can be powered before the M8194 is turned ON.
Your PC might request a reboot. Reboot your PC, if requested.
