Preparation For
Use
Preparation for use include removing the instrument from the bag,
installing the PXA125 inside the PXI chassis, copying instrument
drivers to the computer and installing the graphical interface
(ArbConnection).
Installation
Plug the PXA125 into your PXI chassis and lift the extractor to the
upright position. Push the card firmly until the metal panel makes
contact with the metal edge of the PXI chassis. Using a suitable
screwdriver, tighten the two retaining screws, top and bottom.
CAUTION
Disconnect power to the PXI Chassis before
installing or removing the PXA125. An attempt to
insert or remove the instrument while the power is
connected to the chassis will result in severe
damage to the instrument and will automatically
revoke your warranty.
CAUTION
Once the PXA125 is installed in the chassis cover
all remaining open slots to ensure proper airflow.
Using the PXA125 without proper airflow will result
in damage to the instrument.
Installing
Instrument Drivers
The PXA125 is a Plug & Play instrument, meaning that after you
install it in your PXI chassis, Windows will automatically detect its
presence and will ask you to supply the appropriate drivers to operate
Removing the
Instrument from
the Bag The PXA125 is supplied in an antistatic bag. Check the seal on the
bag to make sure the bag was not opened in a static-unsafe
environment. Place the enveloped card on static free surface and
hook yourself up with a grounding strap. Only then break the seal and
remove the card from the envelope. Hold the card at the metal panel
end. Refrain from touching the instrument with your finger at all times.
