SECTION 1

OVERVIEW

INTRODUCTION

The EX2500 driver was written to be used with Agilent®VISA and, therefore, requires this
software to be installed to function properly. Two software installation paths should be considered
by users when installing the required EX2500 software:

• Use with Agilent VISA software, where Agilent VISA is installed as the primary VISA.

• Use with existing National Instruments

VISA to be installed as the secondary VISA and NI-VISA to be configured properly to
support Agilent VISA.

NOTE The screenshots provided in this section were captured on a Windows®XP® system using specific

VISA (Virtual Instrument Software Architecture) installations. As such, it is possible that the
images provided in this guide may not be identical to the images seen during a specific
installation.

VISA (NI-VISA) software, which requires Agilent

VISA REQUIREMENTS

In order to work properly in a test system, the EX2500 requires Agilent VISA to be installed on
the host PC. Agilent VISA may be installed as either the primary VISA, or may be installed
secondary to NI-VISA. The EX2500 is compatible with the following VISA software revisions:

1) Agilent VISA Revision 14.1 or la t er

2) NI-VISA Revision 2.6 or later for guaranteed operation (VXI Technology, Inc., however,

recommends using revision 3.4 or later)

Agilent VISA as Primary VISA Installation Path

If Agilent VISA revision 14.1 or later is installed on the PC that will be co nnected to the EX25 00,
go to page
install revision 14.1. It is recommended that previous versions of Agilent VISA be removed before
installing revision 14.1.

14. If a different version of Agilent VISA is installed on the host PC, go to page 10 to

Agilent VISA as Secondary VISA Installation Path

If NI-VISA revision 2.6 or later is installed on the host PC, go to page 21. If the version of
NI-VISA installed on the host PC is lower than revision 2.6, please install an appropriate version
of NI-VISA and then go to page

VXI Technology, Inc.

5) No changes are required at the Choose Destination Location dialog box. Click the Next

button to continue.

6) At the Select Features dialog box, a summary of features that will be installed is provided.

Make certain that the “Agilent VISA as primary VISA” check box is selected

. Once this has

been verified, click the Next button to continue.

12 EX2500 Quick Start Guide

www.vxitech.com

7) Next, the Start Copying Files dialog box will appear. To begin software installation, click the

Install button.

8) Once Agilent VISA installation is complete, the InstallShield Wizard Complete dialog box

will appear. As the EX2500 driver must be installed before the Agilent Connection Expert can
be used, ensure that both check boxes on this dialog box are not selected. Click the Finish
button to complete VISA installation.

EX2500 Quick Start Guide 13

EX2500 DRIVER INSTALLATION

1) From the VXIplug&play Drivers and Product Manuals CD, run the program

EX2500_Driver_R1p0p0.msi (or later). At the Welcome dialog box, click the Next button.

VXI Technology, Inc.

2) From the Select Installation Folder dialog box, select an appropriate radio button according

to host PC demands. No changes are required in the Folder field. Click the Next button to
proceed.

3) At the Confirm Installation dialog box, click the Next button.

4) Click the close button and continue to

Add the EX2500 Interface to Agilent VISA.

EX2500 Quick Start Guide 15

ADD THE EX2500 INTERFACE TO AGILENT VISA

1) Open Agilent’s Connection Expert© from the Start Menu via the path Start > All Programs >

Agilent IO Libraries Suite > Agilent Connection Expert.

VXI Technology, Inc.

2) From the Connection Expert main window, click the “Add an interface” link in the Task

Guide field.

16 EX2500 Quick Start Guide

www.vxitech.com

3) From the Manually Add an Interface dialog box, select “VXI Technology LXI-VXI Slot 0

Interface” from the list and then click Add.

4) A configuration window will appear where a module is assigned a VISA interface ID which is

then mapped to the device’s IP address. There must be a unique VISA interface ID for each
interface defined in a system. NOTE: if NI-VISA is installed, a VISA Interface ID other than
VXI0 must be assigned, as NI-VISA reserves VXI0 for MXI-2 devices (whether a MXI-2
device is installed or not). To automatically search for the module, click on Search Local
Network on the configuration window. This software utility will search for EX2500s. If the
EX2500 is connected directly to the Network Interface Card (NIC) in the host system, the
EX2500 software will automatically assign a link-local IP address based on the MAC address
of the module. If the module is connected to a LAN that is DHCP enabled, the DHCP server
will assign an IP address to the module. To determine if a LAN is DHCP enabled, please
contact your Network Administrator.

NOTE On PCs running Windows XP, the Windows Firewall utility may try to block Connection

Expert from connecting to the EX2500. To avoid blocking multiple connections, it may be
desirable to turn off Windows Firewall. Refer to Wind o ws Help f or more inf ormation.

5) Connection Expert will display the IP address of all EX2500s discovered on the network.

Clicking LEDs runs a test on the LEDs of the highlighted EX2500 causing the Link Status
LEDs to blink in a “leap-frog pattern”. An additional dialog box will appear asking if this is
the correct module. It this is the module of interest, click OK to establish the highlighted
EX2500 as the target module.

18 EX2500 Quick Start Guide

www.vxitech.com

The IP address field will now contain the IP of the target EX2500. Clicking OK assigns the
VISA interface ID shown to the target EX2500.

NOTE This process should be repeated for each EX2500 included in a test syste m. It is imperative that

each EX2500 module have a unique VISA interface ID.

If a MXI-2 interface will be installed into a mainframe after an EX2500 has been installed, the

EX2500 should have its VISA interface ID reassigned if its ID is VXI0. If this is not done, it will
cause the I/O software to perform improperly and make accessing the EX2500 impossible.

EX2500 Quick Start Guide 19

6) The Slot 0 interface to the EX2500 should now appear in the Instrument I/O on this PC

field. The adjacent field contains buttons that allow for EX2500 properties to be changed and
provide access to the built-in web interface.

The EX2500 soft front panel and other programs should now be accessible.

WEB INTERFACE

The EX2500’s embedded web interface can be accessed via standard Internet browsers, such as
Internet Explorer

©

. Simply type the module’s IP address (10.1.2.140 from the example above) into
the browser’s address bar to access the web interface. The web interface allows user’s to pass
formatted I/O commands (to message-based devices) or to directly access device registers through
the “device status” hyperlink.

NOTE The web interface currently supports network configuration of the EX2500 along with trigger

setup, interrupt setup, and other functions. Because the EX2500 includes RESMAN in the module,
the modules in the rack can be identified, peeked and poked, or sent word serial commands.

FRONT PANEL INDICATORS

The front panel of the unit includes the following interfaces and indicators:

• VXI_ACC – VXI access indication, this LED will blink green for backplane accesses

that terminate properly. It will blink orange for accesses that terminate in retry or bus
error.

• SYSFAIL – This LED shows the Sysfail status of the EX2500.

• EXT CLK IN and OUT – These SMB connectors provide external clocking options for

the EX2500.

• RESET – Issues system reset and initiates Resource Manager Execution.

• GIGABIT ETHERNET – The module provides connection to gigabit Ethernet via

either a Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) fiber module or via standard category 5
(Cat 5) twisted pair. The EX2500 automatically detects which interface is active and
switches without user intervention. For Cat 5 connections, the EX2500 provides au to­MDIX (medium dependent interface crossover) functionality that automatically handles
crossover in point-to-point connections. The unit will also detect and correct pairs that are
wired backwards. Therefore, crossover cables can be used, although are not required.

Multiple gigabit indicators are present to provide detailed information to the user
regarding link status. Individual TX, RX, and DUPLEX LEDs are provided. Link status
is shown on mode LEDs A, B, and C per the following table. NOTE: Ensure that LED
control is returned to “Normal” when exiting the LED test section of the web interface.
