1 Usage
1.1 General
Usage
Features of the R&S TS-PSAM
The R&S TS-PSAM Analog Stimulus and Measurement Module is suitable for the R&S
CompactTSVP. The module is used to perform analog measuring tasks, in-circuit measurements, and the R&S CompactTSVP self-test. The module's floating DC supply
voltage is provided via the associated R&S TS-PDC rear I/O module.
The R&S TS-PSAM module is inserted in the front of the R&S CompactTSVP chassis.
It is based on the cPCI/PXI standard.
The front connector ends flush with the front panel of the R&S CompactTSVP chassis
and is used for contacting the test products or measurement sensors. At the back, the
R&S TS-PSAM module is connected to the cPCI control bus and the PXI trigger bus.
Instead of using the front connector, measurement signals can be routed via the R&S
CompactTSVP's analog measuring bus.
A LabWindows IVI DMM driver is provided for the DMM functions on the card. All other
functions are controlled using specific extensions of the driver. As is typical for a LabWindows CVI driver, Function Panels and Online Help are available.
1.2 Features of the R&S TS-PSAM
1.2.1 Components
The R&S TS-PSAM modules include a ground-connected discharge circuit, a floating
programmable voltage source, and a floating measurement unit. These components
can be switched to the R&S CompactTSVP's analog bus via a relay matrix. Measuring
tasks can be synchronized using the trigger lines across the PXI bus and the trigger
inputs on the front connector. Two relay multiplexers with four channels each are also
provided. The major features of these three function blocks is explained in detail in the
following section:

1.2.2 Measuring Functions
The module is used to perform analog measuring tasks, in-circuit measurements, and
the R&S CompactTSVP self-test. In these tests, the module functions as a measuring
device with adjustable sampling rate for voltage, current and resistance measurements. The measurement unit and the adjustable DC voltage source are cross-connected with each other in a suitable manner for measuring resistance. If necessary, the
source can also be connected with GND. The measurement unit and the DC voltage
source can also be operated independently of one another. In the in-circuit test (ICT),
the R&S TS-PSAM module performs the following measuring tasks:
●
Discharging capacitors
●
2- and 4-wire resistance measurements (Figure 1-1 to Figure 1-4)
●
Contact test
●
Short circuit test
●
Connection test
1.2.2.1 Resistance Measurements
On this topic, see also Figure 1-1 to Figure 1-4.
Resistance measurements are taken with the aid of the DC voltage source and the
measurement unit. 2- and 4-wire measurements are possible. Two different procedures
may be followed depending on the resistance value to be measured. If necessary, the
source can be connected to GND.

5.1.1 Primary matrix and analog measuring bus
Function Description
Function description of the R&S TS-PSAM Module
On this topic, see also Figure 3-1
Configuring the R&S TS-PSAM for current or resistance measurements causes the
input of the measurement unit to become lowly resistive. An external voltage applied to
the input will therefore lead to a current flow through the instrument, which may destroy
the relays on the module. It is therefore strongly recommended to configure the R&S
TS-PSAM for “voltage measurement” before the input is connected with the test points.
Matrix relays
The stimulus and measurements can be cross-connected in any permutation through a
full matrix to a local analog bus (8-wires LABx). The discharge circuit can only be connected to wires a1 and a2.
For the cross-connection of the relays matrix, there are two possibilities:
●
route functions
●
low-level-switching function
Route functions
Using the rspsam_Connect, rspsam_Disconnect and rspsam_DisconnectAll
functions, you can control the following channels of the matrix:
Local analog bus:
ABa1, ABa2, ABb1, ABb2, ABc1, ABc2, ABd1, ABd2
DMM resistance measurement function:
DMM_HI, DMM_LO, DMM_SHI, DMM_SLO
Single components:
DCH_HI MU_HI, MU_LO, DCS_HI, DCS_LO, DCS_SHI, DCS_SLO
The "ABxy" channel names always indicate the services of the local analog buses,
independently from the bus coupling relays configuration
(rspsam_ConfigureCoupling). The route functions of the driver do not control the
bus coupling relay.
17User Manual 1142.9878.12 ─ 12
Page 20
R&S®TS-PSAM
Function Description
Function description of the R&S TS-PSAM Module
The channels of the single components MU and DSC cannot be cross-connected if the
resistance measurement function (rspsam_ConfigureMeasurement) is configured.
In this case, use the DMM channels. During resistance measurement, the MU and
DCS components will be connected through internal configuration relays, depending
on the chosen range (see figures from Figure 1-1 to Figure 1-4). For example, during a
4-wire resistance measurement in modus C, the DMM_SHI wire corresponds to the
channel MU_HI of the measurement unit. During a 4-wire resistance measurement in
modus V, the DMM_LO wire corresponds to the MU_HI channel of the measurement
unit.
If you need to use the MU and DSC components independently from each other, you
need to operate the measurement unit in the voltage or current measurement function
(rspsam_ConfigureMeasurement). With these functions, the configuration relays
are set so that the channels of the single components can be cross-connected.
The switch channels can be controlled using the GTSL routing library too. The route
functions constitute the interface for this library. The bus coupling relays will be automatically controlled by the routing library.
Low level switching function
The function rspsam_cnx_Matrix controls the relays of a lower software level. Not
to be used together with the route functions
(rspsam_Connect und rspsam_Disconnect).
Bus coupling relays
Through the rspsam_ConfigureCoupling function you can connect the wires of the
local analog buses to the system wide analog buses of the Compact TSVP. You can
therefore multiplex the components of the module on many test points, using the matrix
switch modules (e.g., TS-PMB) .
The "Signal Routing" GTSL library controls the bus coupling relays automatically.
The rspsam_DisconnectAll function does not open the bus coupling relays.
Ground relays
The MU_LO and DCS_LO channels can be connected to the system mass, if needed.
The components will then be earth tied. The rspsam_ConfigureGround function
enables the corresponding relays, depending on the chosen measurement function.
During a resistance measurement DSC_LO will be connected to GND. During all other
measurement, the MU_LO function will be cross-connected to GND. If you need to use
the MU and DSC components independently, you can configure the earth tied operation through the rspsam_cnx_Gnd function.
Resistance measurements in which GND is ment to be used as DMM_LO are only
possible for a 1 Ohm and 10 Ohm range. In these ranges Mode C is used and
DMM_LO can be replaced by GND. See Chapter 1.2.1, "Components", on page 3 and
Chapter 5.1.4, "Resistance measurement", on page 21.

R&S®TS-PSAM
Function Description
Function description of the R&S TS-PSAM Module
The GTSL libraries DMM and DCPWR make the DMM_Conf_Ground_Relay and
DCPWR_Conf_Ground_Relay functions available for the configuration of the earth
tied operation.
For technical reasons, a component that is not cross-connected (all matrix relays
opened) will automatically be grounded with the corresponding ground relay. It will be
automatically opened again, if the component is configured as floating, before a new
cross-connection to the analog bus wires is performed.
The rspsam_DisconnectAll function does not open the ground relays.
Configuration Relays
The configuration relays connect MU and DCS for the resistance measurement. These
relays will be automatically controlled from the device driver software, depending on
the measurement function and the measurements range. The rspsam_dmc_Select
function should be used only in exceptional cases
5.1.2 Voltage and current measurement unit (MU)
(MU = Measurement Unit)
AC and DC voltages and currents are measured with the MU. Both MU inputs can be
switched to the local 8-wire analog bus via the full matrix.
DC voltage measurement
The floating DC voltage measurement unit has programmable pre-filtering and adjustable input voltage ranges. Analog/Digital conversion is performed with a serial A/D converter whose output data are stored in a FIFO memory.
Low Pass Filter (-3 dB): (MU Filter) 4 ranges, 400 Hz, 4 kHz, 40 kHz, 100 kHz (the
same applied for current measurements)
Overvoltage protection: 200 V max.
Analog bandwidth (-3 dB): >500 kHz
A/D converter: Resolution: 16-bit sampling rate: 200 kHz max.
FIFO: 8 k
AC voltage measurement
AC voltage is measured using an RMS-to-DC converter. AC voltage that is present at
the inputs is converted to a DC output voltage that is proportional to the real RMS
value of the input signal. The converted DC output voltage is processed by the A/D
converter.
As an alternative to the RMS-to-DC converter, you can measure the waveform in DC
mode with following analysis to find the actual quantity value. The
rspsam_ConfigureRmsMethod and rspsam_ConfigureRmsEval functions are
available.

DC current measurement
The measurement unit for current is capable of taking readings in a range from a few
hundred nanoamperes to a 1 A. It can be switched to the 8-wire analog bus without
limitation through a full matrix. Currents larger than 100 mA are measured using a
shunt resistor. On the other hand, currents smaller than 100 mA are measured actively
using a current-voltage converter (I/U converter).
AC current measurement
The AC current is converted to an AC voltage using a shunt or I/U converter; the AC
voltage is converted to a DC voltage with an RMS-to-DC converter, and the DC voltage
is processed by the A/D converter.
As an alternative to the RMS-to-DC converter, you can measure the curve form in DC
mode with following analysis to find the actual quantity value. The
rspsam_ConfigureRmsMethod and rspsam_ConfigureRmsEval functions are
available.
Operation
Together with the driver functions, the DMM GTSL library is available for operating the
measurement unit.
5.1.3 DC stimulus source (DCS)
(DCS = DC Source)
The DCS is a potentialless, programmable DC voltage source with adjustable current
limiting and sense wires for compensating voltage drops in circuits to the load.
Depending on the test requirements, it can function either in voltage mode or in current
limiting mode. Also a pulse mode is possible.

Also the DCPWR GTSL library supports the DCS component of the TS-PSAM module.
On this topic, see also Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-4.
With the DC Stimulus (DCS) and current measurement unit (MU), resistances can be
measured in the following ways:
●
A known DC voltage Vs is applied to the resistor that is to be measured and the
resulting current is measured with the MU (Mode V).
●
A known DC current Is is applied to the resistor via the DCS and the resulting drop
in voltage at the resistor is measured with the MU (Mode C).
The resistance measurement is activated via the "rspsam_ConfigureMeasurement"
function. Depending on the "measurementFunction" parameter, a 2-wire
(RSPSAM_VAL_2_WIRE_RES) or 4-wire (RSPSAM_VAL_4_WIRE_RES) measurement is configured. The range parameter configures i.a. the connection between the
components MU and DCS. In the 1 Ohm and 10 Ohm range "Mode C" is set (See Fig-
ure 1-1and Figure 1-2). In every other range "Mode V" is activated (See Figure 1-3 and
Figure 1-4). The resistance measurement of TS-PSAN is optimized for in-circuit tests.
Because the voltage is imprinted in Mode V, resistors parallel to a capacitor can be
measured quickly, due to relatively high charging power. Mode V however has the disadvantage that the LO-wire cannot be replaced by GND (See figure 1-3). Also in Mode
V, too low resistance values lead to invalid measurements. This is due to limited current because of an automatic voltage lowering by the source, if the set max current of
the DCS is exceeded. The correlations are shown in the following table:
Range Mode Voltage Ampere
0.1 Ω to 1 Ω C 0.5 V max. 100 mA
1 Ω to 10 Ω C 0.2 V max. 10 mA
10 Ω to 100 Ω V 0.2 V 25 mA max.
100 Ω to 1 kΩ V 0.2 V 2.5 mA max.

5.1.5 Discharge unit DCH
Function Description
Function description of the R&S TS-PSAM Module
(DCH = Discharge Unit)
The discharge unit is provided to allow the controlled discharge of capacitors on the
UUT, to prevent the circuit relays in the test system from being irreparably damaged or
the UUT from becoming charged as a result of the test procedure. For this purpose, a
constant discharge current is generated with an active current limiter. The circuit is protected against overload by an integrated heat cutout. The residual voltage after discharge is typically less than 100 mV. The DCH can be connected to the local analog
bus via relays.
In order to minimize loading on the circuit relays, the circuit path should be set first,
before the DCH is activated.
Table 5-3: Specifications
Discharge current ranges: (typical) 400 mA, 275 mA, 150 mA und 10 mA
Discharge mode Constant current
Maximum voltage: ±125 VDC
Discharge residual voltage <100 mVDC
Discharge power: (average) 2 W max.
Überspannungsschutz 200 VDC max.
Overvoltage protection Thermal sensor
The rspsam_dch_ConfigureEnabled and rspsam_dch_ConfigureCurrent
functions control the discharge.
5.1.6 Trigger logic
On this topic, see also Figure 5-1.
The R&S TS-PSAM module can be synchronized with other system components by
trigger signals from the PXI trigger bus, or by local trigger events or “software triggers“ . In all such events, the R&S TS-PSAM module can function as a “trigger master“ or “ a trigger slave“.
Trigger inputs
The internal FPGA Hardware uses the global trigger input signals from the PXI trigger
bus (PXI_TRIG0 ... PXI_TRIG7) and the local TTL trigger inputs on the front connector
(XTI1, XTI2). In addition, the trigger signals (XTA1, XTA2) derived from the analog
input signal and the four internal feedback trigger circuits of the trigger logic blocks
(IT01 ... IT04) are all used to detect a trigger event. The signals to be considered and
their levels (high/low) are selected in configuration registers.
Trigger logic blocks
There are 4 blocks implemented for the module. Blocks 1 and 2 are available to the
user. You can use them to generate the trigger impulses (single pulses, pulse trains

R&S®TS-PSAM
Function Description

etc). Block 3 is reserved for the pulsed use of the DSC component. Block 4 controls
the scan of the measurement unit.
Trigger outputs
The outputs from the trigger logic blocks can be switched to the trigger outputs on the
front connector (XTOx) and to the PXI trigger bus (PXI_TRIGx). The polarity of the trigger signal is programmable. The trigger output signals are TTL compatible and are buffered using driver circuits.

●
Remove the front panel from the rear side of the TSVP chassis by slackening off
the screws
Damaged backplane due to bent pins
Bent pins may result in permanent damage to the backplane.
Check the backplane connector for bent pins!
Any pins that are bent must be straightened!
When module is connected, it must be guided with both hands and carefully pressed
into the backplane connector.
●
Apply moderate pressure to insert the plug-in module (use locating pin to attach)
●

●
The rear I/O module R&S TS-PDC must be inserted with extra caution, making certain the connector is correctly guided into the socket opening in the backplane. It
must not be inserted at an angle or with incorrect alignment, etc. The short circuit
board guides alone do not ensure absolutely reliable guiding.
●
Multiple adjacent R&S TS-PDC modules should be inserted in order “from left to
right” and removed in the opposite order. Because the spaces are so narrow, care
must be taken not to damage any components on the solder side of the module.

Power-on test
The R&S TS-PSAM has a built-in self-test capability. The following tests are implemented:
●
LED-Test
●
Power-on test
●
TSVP Self-Test
After power-on, all three LED's light up for around one second to indicate that the 5 V
supply is present and all LED's are working. The following statements can be made
about the different LED states:
Table 8-1: Statements about the LED Test
LED Description
One LED does not
light up
No LED's light up No +5 V supply
If diagnostics suggest a problem with the supply voltage, the LEDs for the associated
rear I/O module, R&S TS-PDC, must be inspected visually. If a supply voltage failure is
confirmed, the R&S TS-PDC module must be replaced.
8.2 Power-on test
The power-on test runs at the same time as the LED test. The following statements
can be made about the different statuses of the red and green LEDs:

TSVP Self-Test
If diagnostics suggest a problem with the supply voltage, the LEDs for the associated
rear I/O module, R&S TS-PDC, must be inspected visually. If a supply voltage failure is
confirmed, the R&S TS-PDC module must be replaced.
The TSVP self-test runs an in-depth test on the module and generates a detailed log.
This is done with the “Self-Test Support Library“.
The R&S TS-PSAM module is used as a measurement unit for the self-test of R&S
modules in the TSVP. The correct operation of the modules is ensured by measurements on the analog bus.
You can find information about starting the self-test and the order of required work
steps as well as a detailed description of parameters and sequences that are tested in
the R&S CompactTSVP / R&S Power TSVP Service Manual.
