Before You Start

Install the CXA-m PXIe signal analyzer software

Before running the N7875A Calibration Application, the software for the M9290A CXA-m PXIe signal analyzer must be installed. This installation should include the following:

• Keysight Technologies IO Libraries Suite (IOLS) — which includes the Keysight Technologies Connections Expert. This software is included with your instrument shipment (CD part number E2094-60003), and is also available at www.keysight.com/find/iosuite. This software must be installed first.

• Instrument software — which includes the SFP = Soft Front PanelSFP, device drivers (IVI-C and IVI-COM) and documentation for the M9290A CXA-m PXIe signal analyzer.This software is included with your shipment of the CXA-m PXIe signal analyzer (CD part number M9290-90008), and is also available at http://www.keysight.com/find/cxa-m_software.

Module and Chassis Requirements

The M9290A CXA-m PXIe signal analyzer will be installed in a PXIe chassis. Complete installation instructions can be found in the M9290A CXA-m PXIe signal analyzer Getting Started and Troubleshooting Guide available at http://www.keysight.com/find/cxa-m_software.

If you are using a remote controller and have installed the interface cable, you must power up the chassis BEFORE you power up the PC. When you power down your chassis, shut down the PC before you power down the chassis. Refer to the diagram below.

Keysight Technologies M9018A Chassis Power Up Sequence

It is recommended that your remote controller components match the manufacturer of your chassis to minimize compatibility issues.

PXI hardware does not support hot-swap capabilities (changing modules while power is applied to the chassis). Before installing or removing the module to/from the chassis, power off the chassis to prevent damage.

Embedded Controller

If you are using an embedded controller, complete the following steps:

1. Install the embedded controller module into the compatible chassis. The Keysight Technologies M9036A PXIe Embedded Controller and Keysight Technologies M9018A PXIe Chassis are recommended. Refer to the embedded controller and chassis documentation for further details.

2. Connect peripherals (mouse, keyboard, monitor).

3. Power up the chassis.

Recommended Practices for Module/Chassis Temperature Control

• Use slot blockers and EMC filler panel in empty module slots to assure proper operating temperature.

• At ambient temperatures above 45° C (113° F), set the chassis fan to High.

• Position the chassis so that there is ample space between the chassis fan intake and exhaust vents. Blockage by walls or obstructions affects the air flow needed for cooling. (Refer to the chassis documentation for more information about cooling.)

• A minimum of 50 mm (2 inches) of clearance should be provided in the front, rear, and sides of the chassis for ventilation. Depending on module power consumption, clearance may be needed below the chassis to accommodate the air intakes on the bottom of the chassis.

Installation/Upgrade Instructions

Installing Over Previous Versions

Refer to the Readme.txt file for information on the compatibility of this package with previous versions of the application and the Test Management Environment (TME) test executive.

System Requirements

Refer to the Readme.txt for information on the minimum system requirements to run this application.

There are two ways to install TME and its applications:

• Network Installations — Equipment and test data information is stored in a central location (the TME Server). This data is shared among a set of TME Clients. Multiple test stations can then have access to this central information.

• Local Installations — Everything is installed on one PC

Network Installation

In a network installation, order information is stored centrally and can be accessed by any TME client in the network. This allows you to combine data from tests that were run on multiple stations into a single report. Equipment data and order information are also accessible from any station.

The installation of the application network data must take place on the same PC that installed the TME network data. To set up a new TME network, please see the instructions in the TME help system. If TME is setup as a network installation, the application will automatically be set up as a network on that machine when the installation is executed. The application server must be installed before any clients can be installed. TME client must also be installed on all machines intending to run this application as clients of the network.

To install an application on a network, follow these steps:

1. Find the PC where the TME network was installed (Shows “TME Server” in Programs and Features).

2. Run Setup.exe for the application on that PC. This will install all networked components for that application.

3. Install application clients:

• TME clients will be asked to install the application the next time TME is started.

or

• Applications can be installed by running the setup file from the network directory:

  \\FileServer\Test Management Environment\Install\(AppName)\(AppName)ClientSetup.exe

  The client setup must be run from this location. It should not be moved or renamed.

Local Installation

On a local installation, all application data is stored on the target PC. TME must be installed on the target PC before the application installation can occur. Once TME has been installed as a local installation, the application will automatically install locally when executed. Order information, test results, and equipment data will not be shared with other users.

Uninstall Procedure

To remove pre-E.01.00 versions of TME and its applications before installing a newer version, please refer to Installing Over Previous Versions.

• To uninstall a previous version of TME, please see Installing over Previous Versions.

• To uninstall TME or any TME application, select that package from Programs and Features on the Control Panel.

Uninstall of Network Install

To uninstall an application client, select that package from Programs and Features on the Control Panel and and click Uninstall.

Data will not be lost if only a client is uninstalled. Other clients will still have access to the data in the network.

To uninstall an application server:

1. Follow the directions above to uninstall all application clients first.

2. On the PC where the server installation was performed, select the application server from Programs and Features on the Control Panel and click Uninstall.

Uninstall of Local Install

To uninstall an application local installation, select that package from Programs and Features on the Control Panel and click Uninstall.
