Module Installation Process Overview / 17 Front Panel Features / 19 Cleaning the Instrument / 24

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

These modules can be used in a chassis with PXIe or PXI-H chassis slots.

Module Installation Process Overview

The module can be installed in any PXIe or hybrid PXI slot marked with a peripheral slot compatibility image (solid black circle for PXIe, or solid black circle with the letter -H- for hybrid).

1 Make sure that the line cord is plugged in to establish earth ground and that

the chassis power switch is Off.

2 If the chassis has multiple fan speed settings, ensure that the fan switch is set

to AUTO and the inhibit switch is set to DEF.

3 Position the chassis to provide 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).

4 If using a remote PC controller, install the system interface card into the PC and

connect the chassis to the host PC.

Page 18

4 Install the Modules

CAUTION

NOTE

5 Before inserting a module into the chassis, back the mounting screws out to

ensure that there is no interference between the screws and the mounting rails.

The M924xA PXIe oscilloscope can use peer-to-peer (module-to-module) triggering across the PXI Express chassis backplane. Therefore, be sure to install the M924xA modules into a chassis that supports peer-to-peer PXI Express I/O switch topology. When using the Keysight M9018A PXIe 18-Slot Chassis, install the M924xA modules into one of its three slot groups: 1 through 6, 7 through 12, or 13 through 18. For more information on coordinating multiple M924xA PXIe oscilloscope modules, see

Chapter 8, “Coordinating Multiple PXIe Oscilloscope Modules,” starting on page 45.

If you are using a non-Keysight chassis, consult your manufacturer's documentation.

When using the Keysight M9018A Chassis you will achieve the highest data throughput for the Keysight M9241/42/43A PXIe oscilloscopes by using Slots 2, 6, 11 or 15. They are "x8" slots and the others are "x4". For further details see the Keysight M9018A Chassis

documentation. If you are using a non-Keysight chassis, consult your manufacturer's

documentation.

6 Holding the module by the injector/ejector handle, slide it into an available PXI

(or hybrid) slot, as shown in the following figure.

18 Keysight M9241/42/43A PXIe Oscilloscopes and M9240A AutoProbe Power Module Startup Guide

Page 19

Install the Modules 4

a Install the module into the slot of the chassis by placing the module card

edges into the front module guides (top and bottom).

b Slide the module to the rear of the chassis and ensure that the

injector/ejector handle is pushed down in the unlatched (downward) position.

c Slide the module completely into the chassis. When you begin to feel

resistance, pull up on the injector/ejector handle to fully inject the module into the chassis.

7 Secure all modules to the chassis using the module mounting screws. Use a #1

Pozidriv® or a slotted screwdriver and torque to 5 Lb-In (0.57 N-m). Performance may suffer if the screws are not tightened properly.

8 Verify that the PXI chassis fans are operable and free of dust and other

contaminants that may restrict airflow.

9 Install filler panels and slot blockers after installing the modules. Missing filler

panels or slot blockers may disrupt air circulation in the chassis. The left-most slot does not accept a slot blocker.

10 If you are using a PCIe Cable Interface, such as the Keysight M9021, connect

the Cable Interface in the chassis to the PC host per the instructions that came with the Cable Interface.

11 Power up the PXI chassis.

12 If you are using a remote PC controller, reboot the PC host controller.

13 Proceed to Chapter 6, “Verify Operation,” starting on page 29.

Input a Signal

The first signal to input to the oscilloscope is the Probe Comp signal. This signal is used for compensating probes.

1 Connect an oscilloscope probe from channel 1 to the Probe Comp terminal on

the front panel.

2 Connect the probe's ground lead to the ground terminal (next to the Probe

Comp terminal).

Using the Soft Front Panel (SFP) Interface

The Keysight InfiniiVision M924xA SFP has the same user interface as other standalone Keysight InfiniiVision oscilloscopes. While standalone oscilloscopes have keys, softkeys, and knobs—obviously different than the modular oscilloscopes—the display interface was also designed to be used with touch screens and connected USB mice, and it is just as easy to use with a mouse on the Windows operating system.

The main differences between using the interface on a standalone oscilloscope and a modular oscilloscope are:

• Instead of pressing front panel keys to open softkey menus, you use the top-left

blue Main Menu button.

• Instead of pressing softkeys, you click the softkey label buttons.

• Instead of turning knobs to adjust scales, offets, delay positions, trigger levels,

and cursor positions, there are clickable up/down, increase/decrease icon buttons that appear after clicking these values. Also, you can drag waveforms, trigger levels, and cursors.

Access the Built-In Quick Help

Soft Front Panel (SFP) help for the PXIe oscilloscope is different than in a traditional Windows application. Instead of a Windows HTML Help file you access through a Help menu, the PXIe oscilloscope's SFP help is the same quick help information that is built-in to standalone InfiniiVision oscilloscopes.

To access the built-in quick help, press and hold the left-mouse button over a softkey label button.

36 Keysight M9241/42/43A PXIe Oscilloscopes and M9240A AutoProbe Power Module Startup Guide

Page 37

Make a Measurement 7

Quick Help remains on the screen until you close the help dialog box or open another one.

Select the User Interface Language

Another benefit of having the same user interface as standalone InfiniiVision oscilloscopes is that you have a localized user interface and built-in quick help.

To select the user interface language:

1 Choose Main Menu > Help Menu.

2 In the Help Menu, click the Language softkey label button.

3 In the Language popup menu, select the desired language.

The following languages are available: Czech, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Thai, Traditional Chinese, and Turkish.

Recall the Default Oscilloscope Setup

To recall the default oscilloscope setup:

1 Choose Main Menu > Default Setup.

The default setup restores the oscilloscope's default settings. This places the oscilloscope in a known operating condition. The major default settings are:

Labels All custom labels that you have created in the Label Library are preserved (not

erased), but all channel labels will be set to their original names.

Use Autoscale to automatically configure the oscilloscope to best display the input signals.

1 Choose Main Menu > Autoscale.

You should see a waveform on the oscilloscope's display similar to this:

3 If you want to enable "fast debug" autoscaling, change the channels

autoscaled, or preserve the acquisition mode during autoscale, click Fast Debug, Channels, or Acq Mode.

These are the same softkeys that appear under Main Menu > Utilities > User Options Menu > Preferences > Autoscale.

If you see the waveform, but the square wave is not shaped correctly as shown above, perform the procedure "Compensate Passive Probes" on page 39.

If you do not see the waveform, make sure the probe is connected securely to the front panel channel input BNC and to the left side Probe Comp terminal.

How Autoscale

Works

Autoscale analyzes any waveforms present at each channel and at the external trigger input.

Autoscale finds, turns on, and scales any channel with a repetitive waveform that has a frequency of at least 25 Hz, a duty cycle greater than 0.5%, and an amplitude of at least 10 mV peak-to-peak. Any channels where no signal is found are turned off.

The trigger source is selected by looking for the first valid waveform starting with external trigger, then continuing with the lowest number analog channel up to the highest number analog channel.

During Autoscale, the delay is set to 0.0 seconds, the horizontal time/div (sweep speed) setting is a function of the input signal (about 2 periods of the triggered signal on the screen), and the triggering mode is set to Edge.

Compensate Passive Probes

Each oscilloscope passive probe must be compensated to match the input characteristics of the oscilloscope channel to which it is connected. A poorly compensated probe can introduce significant measurement errors.

1 Input the Probe Comp signal (see "Input a Signal" on page 36).

2 Choose Main Menu > Default Setup to recall the default oscilloscope setup (see

"Recall the Default Oscilloscope Setup" on page 37).

3 Choose Main Menu > Autoscale to automatically configure the oscilloscope for

the Probe Comp signal (see "Use Autoscale" on page 38).

4 Click the channel button to which the probe is connected (color-coded 1, 2, etc.

at the top of the SFP window).

5 In the Channel Menu, click Probe.

6 In the Channel Probe Menu, click Probe Check; then, follow the instructions

After a Default Setup, the Probe Comp signal is output to the Probe Comp terminal. However, the oscilloscope can also output training signals on this terminal. See: Main Menu > Training Signals > Training Signals. On InfiniiVision M924xA oscilloscope modules, the Probe Comp terminal is also the Demo 1 terminal. There is no Demo 2 terminal (unlike some other InfiniiVision X-Series oscilloscopes).

Oscilloscope Modules

Step 1: (Optional) Update the Calibration Factors / 46 Step 2: Set Up the Slave Modules / 49 Step 3: Set Up the Master Module / 50 Step 4: (When Necessary) Connect Chassis Bus Segments / 51 Step 5: (Recommended) Phase-Lock Oscilloscope Sampling Clocks / 54 Step 6: (Optional) Turn On Sync Mode / 55 Step 7: Make Coordinated Acquisitions / 60

You can synchronize acquisitions between multiple M924xA oscilloscope modules by using the PXI Trigger Menu to set up coordinated arming and triggering.

Among all the oscilloscope modules to be synchronized, one module must be the master and all other modules must be slaves. The PXI Trigger Mode softkey makes the master or slave selection for a module (or turns off PXI triggering for the module, making it a standalone module).

The Trigger Menu on the master oscilloscope module is used to define the trigger condition. The master module outputs its trigger signal to one of the chassis PXI_TRIG lines (0-7). All slave modules receive the trigger signal over the same PXI_TRIG line, and their Trigger Menus simply show that they are PXI slaves.

There is a separate "armed" signal from each slave module so that the master can wait until each slave is ready before triggering. The remaining PXI_TRIG lines can be used for the arm lines from the slave modules. With arming control, there can be up to seven slave modules. (With software arming in remote programs, there can be more than eight modules in a multiple-module system.)

Arming control is not required; however, if it is not used, a slave module may miss trigger events from the master module (because the master module may send triggers when the slave module is not armed).

This chapter assumes you are using the Keysight InfiniiVision M924xA Soft Front Panel (SFP). If you have not already opened the SFP, see "Open the M924xA

Oscilloscope Soft Front Panel (SFP)" on page 29.

Page 46

8 Coordinating Multiple PXIe Oscilloscope Modules

NOTE

Step 1: (Optional) Update the Calibration Factors

This step is optional because there are default calibration factors installed with the M924x InfiniiVision Oscilloscope software. However, to get the most accurate calibration factors for your PXIe oscilloscope modules and chassis, you will want to update the calibration factors.

Calibration factors are updated and saved using the KtScopeCal.exe application on the chassis controller.

The KtScopeCal.exe application is installed with the M924x InfiniiVision Oscilloscope software.

To perform trigger routing, the KtScopeCal.exe application requires KtMTrig, which is included in PXIe chassis driver version 1.6.242.1 and above. You can find PXIe chassis driver software on the CD that ships with the chassis or at: www.keysight.com/find/pxie-chassis-driver

For the best calibration accuracy, the chassis should be powered on and the oscilloscope modules enabled with a default setup for at least 30 minutes to stabilize the operating temperature before running KtScopeCal.exe.

The KtScopeCal.exe application is run in a Command Prompt window. Command usage information is displayed when the program is run without any arguments or when the "/?" option is supplied as an argument. For example:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Keysight\InfiniiVision>KtScopeCal.exe /? This app performs PXI trigger delay calibrations between master and slav e modules. Hardware connection is required from the Aux out of master mod ule to channel 1 of both master and slave modules using BNC tee adapter with 50ohm cables of equal length.

Usage: KtScopeCal PXI[a]::[b]::INSTR slot[c] trig[d] <bus[e]-[f]>

[a] Chassis bus number. [b] Master module slot number. [c] Slave module slot number. [d] Trigger line number (0-7). <bus> Optional to configure trigger routing across trigger bus segment

Keysight PXIe chassis will be configured automatically. [e] Bus segment number where master module is located. [f] Bus segment number where slave module is located.

Trigger bus segments are assigned as follows:

18-Slot Chassis Slots 1-6: Trig bus segment number 1 Slots 7-12: Trig bus segment number 2

Sync Mode: KtScopeCal -a Align the reference clock signals for all modules and save factors. Perform this action once for new or modified system.

KtScopeCal -p Align the reference clock signals for all modules. Perform this action each time InfiniiVision driver is connected.

KtScopeCal -r Reset the reference clock signals for all modules. Perform this action only when PXIe 100MHz reference clock is turned off. This action is not required if -a or -p has been performed.

The chassis bus number can be found in the Keysight Connection Expert window:

1 Click the Keysight IO Libraries Suite icon in the task bar and choose Connection

Expert from the popup menu.

2 From the tee adapter, connect equal length cables to the master module

channel 1 input and the slave module channel 1 input.

3 Run the KtScopeCal.exe program.

50ohm cables of equal length.

Press enter to start calibration...

Calibration passed. Master slot 5, Slave slot 6, Trigger line 0.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Keysight\InfiniiVision>

The calibration information is saved on the chassis controller, so it needs to be run just once for each combination. However, if you change anything about the multiple module setup, you should re-run the program.

Because calibration factors are saved per master/slave/trigger line combination, you could run the KtScopeCal.exe program for every possible combination of master and slave modules that would ever be used, not just the combination you are planning to use next.

Step 2: Set Up the Slave Modules

Coordinating Multiple PXIe Oscilloscope Modules 8

For each slave module in the multiple-oscilloscope system:

1 Choose Main Menu > Trigger > PXI Trigger Menu.

2 In the PXI Trigger Menu, click the PXI Trigger Mode softkey button, and select

Slave.

3 Click the Trigger Line softkey, and select the PXI_TRIG line (0-7) to be used for

the multi-module trigger signal.

The master module and all slave modules must select the same trigger line.

If the modules are in different chassis trigger bus segments (which are isolated by default), you must use the chassis Soft Front Panel (SFP) application to connect the selected PXI_TRIG line between trigger bus segments. See "Step 4:

(When Necessary) Connect Chassis Bus Segments" on page 51.

4 Click the Arm Line softkey to select the PXI_TRIG line (0-7) to be used for the

slave module's arm signal.

Each slave module must use a different PXI_TRIG line for its arm signal.

(When Necessary) Connect Chassis Bus Segments" on page 51.

Page 50

8 Coordinating Multiple PXIe Oscilloscope Modules

5 Click the Master Slot # softkey; then, enter the slot number of the master

M924xA oscilloscope module.

It is important to select the correct master slot number because it identifies the proper set of calibration factors to use when aligning waveforms.

Calibration factors are created and saved using the KtScopeCal.exe application on the chassis controller. See "Step 1: (Optional) Update the Calibration

Factors" on page 46.

As a slave module in a multiple M924xA oscilloscope module system, this module gets it trigger signal from the master module. As a result, the Trigger Type softkey in the Trigger Menu simply shows that it is a PXI Slave.

Step 3: Set Up the Master Module

For the master module in the multiple-oscilloscope system:

1 Choose Main Menu > Trigger > PXI Trigger Menu.

2 In the PXI Trigger Menu, click the PXI Trigger Mode softkey button, and select

Master.

3 Click the Trigger Line softkey, and select the PXI_TRIG line (0-7) to be used for

the multi-module trigger signal.

The master module and all slave modules must select the same trigger line.

(When Necessary) Connect Chassis Bus Segments" on page 51.

4 Click the Arm Lines softkey to select the PXI_TRIG lines (0-7) used for the arm

signals of the slave modules in the multiple-module system. Select the line and then click it again to enable or disable it.

Each slave module must use a different PXI_TRIG line for its arm signal.

The master module will wait until all slave modules are armed before triggering.

4: (When Necessary) Connect Chassis Bus Segments" on page 51.

50 Keysight M9241/42/43A PXIe Oscilloscopes and M9240A AutoProbe Power Module Startup Guide

Page 51

Coordinating Multiple PXIe Oscilloscope Modules 8

The Trigger Menu on the master oscilloscope module is used to define the trigger condition. You can select from all the usual trigger types (Edge, Edge Then Edge, Pulse Width, etc.). You are limited to master module input sources.

Step 4: (When Necessary) Connect Chassis Bus Segments

If the PXI oscilloscope modules are in different chassis trigger bus segments (which are isolated by default), you must use the chassis Soft Front Panel (SFP) application to connect the selected PXI_TRIG lines between trigger bus segments.

For example, if:

• The master module is in segment 1 and it is using PXI TRIG 0 as the trigger line.

• Two slave modules are in segment 3 and they will use PXI TRIG 1 and PXI TRIG 2 as arm lines.

You would fllow these steps:

1 Click the Keysight IO Libraries Suite icon in the task bar and choose Connection

Expert from the popup menu.

2 In the Keysight Connection Expert window, PXI/AXIe Chassis > Chassis Triggers

tab, hover over the lines in the bus segments you would like to reserve, and then click Click to reserve.

4 Finally, click OK.

The Keysight M9018A PXIe Chassis does not remember the trigger bus configuration upon cycling power. After a power cycle, you must reconfigure the bus triggers by using the M9018A Soft Front Panel (SFP) or by creating a persistent configuration by using the AgM9018 API.

Step 5: (Recommended) Phase-Lock Oscilloscope Sampling Clocks

It is also recommended that each module in the system phase-lock its timebase to the PXIe 100 MHz reference.

For each module in the multiple-oscilloscope system:

1 Choose Main Menu > Utilities > User Options Menu.

2 In the User Options Menu, click the Auxiliary I/O softkey button.

54 Keysight M9241/42/43A PXIe Oscilloscopes and M9240A AutoProbe Power Module Startup Guide

Page 55

3 In the Auxiliary I/O Menu, click the 10MHz Ref Signal softkey button, and select

PXIe 100MHz.

Step 6: (Optional) Turn On Sync Mode

Optionally, to lessen the jitter between channels in different modules so that it is more like the jitter between channels within a single module, you can turn on Sync mode. Sync mode uses the trigger system in the master module for all modules.

When Sync mode is off, this is called Asynchronous mode. Asynchronous mode uses the trigger systems in all modules where the trigger output from the master module is fed to the trigger input of the slave modules.

To turn on and set up Sync mode:

1 For each M924xA oscilloscope module in the multi-module system (that is, the

master module and the slave modules), click the Sync softkey button to enable Sync mode.

Coordinating Multiple PXIe Oscilloscope Modules 8

When you turn on Sync mode for the first time (after InfiniiVision software start-up), there is a red unlocked image shown in the top right of the screen. For example:

• On the master module, you see:

• On the slave modules, you see:

This red unlocked image indicates that the clock phase for the Sync mode trigger is not aligned.

2 Open a Command Prompt window on the chassis controller.

3 To align the reference clock signals, you must run the KtScopeCal.exe

application using the "-a" or "-p" option:

• If setting up Sync mode triggers on a new or modified system, use the

KtScopeCal -a command. For example:

When running the KtScopeCal.exe application with the Sync mode options "-a", "-p", or "-r", the oscilloscope modules automatically phase-lock their timebases to the chassis' PXIe 100 MHz reference. Using the PXIe 100 MHz reference signal is a requirement for Sync mode triggering (see "Step 5:

(Recommended) Phase-Lock Oscilloscope Sampling Clocks" on page 54).

If you turn off the PXIe 100MHz ref signal on any module, clock phase alignment between modules is lost, and the red unlocked image will re-appear.

• When clock phase alignment is lost, use the

KtScopeCal -r command to

reset/realign the clock phase. For example:

CAUTION

Step 7: Make Coordinated Acquisitions

After calibration factors are updated, trigger and arm lines are properly configured, the master slot is identified in all slaves, and the PXIe 100 MHz reference signal is selected, you are ready to use the multiple-oscilloscope system to make coordinated acquisitions.

If arming control is used, follow this sequence to keep acquisitions correlated:

1 Stop all M924xA oscilloscope modules.

2 Start acquisitions (single or run) on the slave module (it will wait for triggers

from the master).

3 Start acquisitions (single or run) on the master module.

4 When running, stop acquisitions on the master module first. Then, stop

acquisitions on the slave modules.

• If running, and you want to change settings on the master module (such as

time/div, volts/div, or the trigger setting), stop the master module before changing its settings. The slave modules do not need to be stopped.

Single Acquisitions

for Deep Data

Messages When

Stopping

Acquisitions

• If running, and you want to change settings on slave modules (such as

time/div or volts/div), stop the master module first. Then, stop the slave modules and make their setting changes.

When you are using remote programs to control multi-module systems and data synchronization is important, not only must you stop acquisitions in the proper order, but you must also query a module's run status to make sure that acquisitions have completed and are truly stopped.

For the deepest acquisitions possible, use single acquisitions. When you stop running acquisitions in a multi-module configuration, the data length can be smaller (depending on the setup) than when stopping a running acquisition in a single module.

When stopping acquisitions, particularly acquisitions that take a long time, you may see this message:

Please wait... To abort, press Stop.

This message means a "soft stop" is in progress. When stopping multi-module acquisitions, "soft stop" makes sure that data across the multiple modules are from the same trigger.

If you abort a "soft stop", be aware that the module's data may not be from the same trigger as other modules' data.

When you have completed installation, you can use the oscilloscope Soft Front Panel (SFP) or program the instrument using the applications programming interface (API) for the supplied drivers.

IVI Drivers

Supported ADEs

(application

development

environments)

Keysight's IVI drivers simplify the creation and maintenance of instrument control applications in a variety of development environments; they allow programmatic control of instrumentation while providing a greater degree of instrument interchangeability and code reuse. IVI drivers currently come in two basic types: IVI-COM and IVI-C. Although the functionality offered by both types of drivers is often very similar, the fundamental differences in interface technology results in a very different end-user experience. The IVI drivers support compiling application programs for 32- or 64-bit platforms.

Arguably the most important consideration in comparing IVI-COM and IVI-C drivers is the end user experience in various ADEs. Because IVI-COM drivers are based on Microsoft COM technology, it is not surprising that IVI-COM drivers offer the richest user experience in Microsoft ADEs. Users working in Visual C++, Visual C#, Visual Basic.NET, and Visual Basic 6 enjoy a host of features, such as object browsers, IntelliSense, and context-sensitive help.

When you install the product software, the IVI driver files are installed in the standard IVI Foundation directories (for example, C:\Program Files\IVI Foundation\ IVI\Drivers\).

Page 62

9 Applications Programming Interface (API) Overview

Example programs are provided to demonstrate most driver functionality (for example, C:\Program Files\IVI Foundation\IVI\Drivers\AgInfiniiVision\Examples).

The reference material for the driver functions (a Microsoft HTML Help .chm file) is installed with the IVI driver and is available for Microsoft Visual Studio's IntelliSense context linking. In addition, you can directly access the .chm file (AgInfiniiVision.chm) from this Start menu location: Start > All Programs > Keysight Instrument Drivers > IVI-COM-C AgInfiniiVision Oscilloscope.

LabVIEW Driver

In addition to the IVI drivers, Keysight provides a LabVIEW driver that includes all the functionality of the IVI-C driver.

When you install the product software, the LabVIEW driver is installed to each LabVIEW instr.lib directory for each version of LabVIEW you have on your computer (for example, C:\Program Files (x86) \National Instruments\<LabVIEW version>\instr.lib\<Keysight product model>).

If you install LabVIEW drivers before you install LabVIEW itself, the drivers will be installed in the Keysight directory instead of the National Instruments directory (for example, C:\Program Files (x86)\Keysight\<Keysight product model>\ LabVIEW Driver\<LabVIEW version>\...).

Example programs are provided to demonstrate most driver functionality.

The reference information for the driver (a Microsoft HTML Help file named KtInfiniiVision_LabVIEW_Help.chm) is also installed with the driver, and the content is available from LabVIEW's context Help menu or in the LabVIEW help directory.

SCPI Interface (M9241/42/43A PXIe Oscilloscope Only)

When the M9241/42/43A PXIe oscilloscope's Soft Front Panel (SFP) is running, you can access the oscilloscope's SCPI interface. See "Open the M924xA

Oscilloscope Soft Front Panel (SFP)" on page 29.

You can find the SCPI Programmer's Guide in these locations:

• On the product CD.

• On the website at: www.keysight.com/manuals/M9241A

Applications Programming Interface (API) Overview 9

Using the SFP and the Remote API at the Same Time

In general, you can use the Soft Front Panel (SFP) and the remote applications programming interface (API) together, at the same time. This can be useful, for example, because it lets you change oscilloscope settings while debugging remote programs.

However, the SFP can become "locked out" while the oscilloscope waits for a waveform to become fully acquired. This can happen, for example, after these SCPI commands/queries: :WAVeform:DATA?, :WAVeform:PREamble?, :LISTer:DATA?, :SEARch:COUNt?, :DIGitize, or :SINGle. In these situations, you can clear the remote operation in progress by sending a Device Clear to the remote user interface.

Sending a Device Clear to the Remote Interface

Every remote programming library gives you a way to send an IEEE 488.1-style Device Clear. For example, the IVI-COM library provides the System2.ClearIO method. Another easy way to send a Device Clear is through the IO Libraries Suite's Interactive IO application.

1 On a networked PC that has the IO Libraries Suite installed, click the Keysight

IO Control icon in the taskbar and choose Utilities > Interactive IO from the popup menu.

2 In the Keysight Interactive IO application, choose Connect > Connect....

3 In the Connect dialog box, enter the oscilloscope's HiSLIP address into the

Resource Name field and click OK.

Page 64

9 Applications Programming Interface (API) Overview

The oscilloscope's HiSLIP address can be cut-and-pasted from your remote program or you can piece it together from the controller PC's IP address (or hostname) and the oscilloscope's PXI address. For example if the controller PC's IP address is "10.112.93.141" (or hostame is "lab-pxi-3.cos.is.keysight.com") and the oscilloscope's PXI address is "PXI37::0::0::INSTR", the oscilloscope's HiSLIP address is "TCPIP0::10.112.93.141::hislip37-0.0::INSTR" (or "TCPIP0::lab-pxi-3.cos.is.keysight.com::hislip37-0.0::INSTR").

If you are running the Interactive IO application on the controller PC, you can use the "127.0.0.1" localhost IP address, for example, "TCPIP0::127.0.0.1::hislip37-0.0::INSTR".

4 When connected, click Device Clear.

WARNING

Use this instrument only for measurements within its specified measurement category (not rated for CAT II, III, IV). No transient overvoltages allowed.

Measurement Category Definitions

The "Not rated for CAT II, III, IV" measurement category is for measurements performed on circuits not directly connected to MAINS. Examples are measurements on circuits not derived from MAINS, and specially protected (internal) MAINS derived circuits. In the latter case, transient stresses are variable; for that reason, the transient withstand capability of the equipment is made known to the user.

Measurement category II is for measurements performed on circuits directly connected to the low voltage installation. Examples are measurements on household appliances, portable tools and similar equipment.

Measurement category III is for measurements performed in the building installation. Examples are measurements on distribution boards, circuit-breakers, wiring, including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches, socket-outlets in the fixed installation, and equipment for industrial use and some other equipment, for example, stationary motors with permanent connection to the fixed installation.

Reference 10

Measurement category IV is for measurements performed at the source of the low-voltage installation. Examples are electricity meters and measurements on primary overcurrent protection devices and ripple control units.
