Before running the N7877A Calibration Application, the software for the M9309A must be installed. This installation should include the following:
Keysight IO Libraries Suite (IOLS) — which includes the Keysight Connections Expert. This software is included with your instrument shipment, and is also available at www.keysight.com/find/iosuite. This software must be installed first. Refer to the N7877A README for version requirements.
Instrument software — which includes the SFP, device drivers (IVI-C, IVI-COM, and LabVIEW G) and documentation for the M9309A.This software is available at www.keysight.com/find/m9380a.
|
The M9309A synthesizer module is a component of the M9389A PXIe source. The synthesizer drivers are available within the software download package for the M938xA instruments. |
The M9309A will be installed in a PXIe chassis. Because it is a component of the M9389A PXIe source, installation instructions can be found in the Getting Started documentation for the M938xA PXIe sources at www.keysight.com/find/m9380a.

If you are using an embedded controller, complete the following steps:
Install the embedded controller module into the compatible chassis. Refer to the embedded controller and chassis documentation for further details.
Connect peripherals (mouse, keyboard, monitor).
Power up the chassis.
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.
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.
Refer to the Readme.txt for information on the minimum system requirements to run this application.

Installation packages are available for download at the Keysight Technologies Calibration website. |
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
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.

To install an application on a network, follow these steps:
Find the PC where the TME network was installed (Shows “TME Server” in Add/Remove Programs).
Run Setup.exe for the application on that PC. This will install all networked components for that application.
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. |
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.
To remove pre-E.01.00 versions of TME and its applications before installing a newer version, please refer to Installing Over Previous Versions.
|
If you uninstall TME completely or uninstall any TME application, you will lose the data associated with those applications. Create any reports needed and save them as PDF files before you perform any uninstallation of that product. |
To uninstall a previous version of TME, please see Installing over Previous Versions.
To uninstall TME or any TME application, select that package from the Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel.
To uninstall an application client, select that package from the Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel and click Remove (or Uninstall depending on the OS).

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:
Follow the directions above to uninstall all application clients first.
On the PC where the server installation was performed, select the application server from the Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel and click Remove (or Uninstall depending on the OS).
To uninstall an application local installation, select that package from the Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel and click Remove (or Uninstall depending on the OS).
