Keysight/Agilent M9033A PXIe System Sync Module
The Keysight M9033A is a dual-slot PXIe Synchronization Module that synchronizes timing and triggering along with data transfer among multi-module and multi-chassis configurations. Five OCuLink System Sync ports are available; one port is an upstream port, while the remaining four ports are downstream ports. These five ports allow for the distribution of reference clocks and low-latency signals to synchronize each of the modular instruments together. Additionally, there is an integrated oven-controlled crystal oscillator (OCXO), which supplies a stable frequency reference to all of the modules. Finally, front-panel SMP connectors provide external clock inputs and outputs, a programmable trigger I/O, and a Pulse-Per-Second (PPS) time reference input to provide an absolute time reference.
The M9033A utilizes a Virtex UltraScale+ VU3P Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with 1 GB of DDR4 memory. A custom logic can be executed by running custom code within the PathWave FPGA environment. In addition to executing custom logic, the M9033A also executes real-time synchronous logic using PathWave Test Sync Executive Software. The PathWave Test Sync Executive Software will automatically time-align multiple channels of measurement and support hardware-based sequencing and branching. Furthermore, this software allows engineers to simplify their development process when developing distributed measurement systems. The System Sync Interface includes both forward and reverse clock links to compensate for cable delays. Twelve LVDS pairs for deterministic triggers are included along with four Multi-Gigabit Transceivers (MGTs) capable of transmitting data at speeds up to 5 Gbps. Utilizing these features, engineers have the ability to capture phase-coherent samples and execute synchronized stimulus-response routines throughout multiple digitizers, arbitrary waveform generators (AWGs), and vector signal analyzers.
Typical applications include industrial automation where measurements need to be taken simultaneously at distant locations and/or when correlated measurements are required; research environments where high accuracy is critical; phased-array antenna testing, where precise timing of simultaneous measurements is needed; MIMO channel simulation; semiconductor parametric analysis; and/or structural health monitoring of very large structures. In addition to its ability to generate a reference clock, the module also interfaces with a host computer via its x8 Gen3 PXIe backplane interface, allowing for fast transfer of data from/to a host controller. The M9033A occupies two 3U slots in any compliant PXIe chassis and weighs approximately 0.74 kg. Optionally, the user may have the module synchronized with other common time standards. When this option is chosen, any measurement event will contain accurate timestamp information, allowing users to accurately correlate results from instruments that could be located meters or even kilometers away from each other.
