Keysight M8290A Optical Modulation Analyzer and
High-Speed Digitizer Test Solution
Getting Started Guide
Introduction
Introduction
The M8290A rack-mountable modular coherent test system for the AXIe platform is designed to address the 400G speed class in a significantly narrower form factor and a more attractive price point than today’s oscilloscope-based solutions for this speed class.
For coherent transmitter and receiver testing, the M8292A compact optical modulation analyzer and M8296A high speed digitizer fill the gap between the portable N4392A integrated optical modulation analyzer for
100G and the real-time oscilloscope-based N4391A optical modulation analyzer supporting speed classes of 400G, 600G and 1 Terabit per second.
The compact and modular approach makes the M8290A optical modulation analyzer and high-speed digitizer test solution an ideal system for coherent transmitter signal qualification for EVM and related parameters as well as for component characterization like ICR, PMQ or even fully-assembled CFPx-ACO modules. The modular concept addresses the needs of development teams, new product introduction groups and production test engineers looking for affordable test equipment for 400G. The M8290A modular coherent test solution provides a combination of compactness, affordability and performance that cannot be achieved with current oscilloscope-based solutions in this speed class.
1 Introduction
In the M8290A system configuration, the M8292A optical modulation analyzer module (a 2-slot AXIe module) and a 4-channel single-slot electrical digitizer module are available, both operating at 92 GSa/s sampling rate.
Getting Started
The M829xA is a modular instrument packaged in the AXIe form factor.
AXIe is an open standard for high-performance modular instrumentation.
Different form factors of AXIe chassis are available: 13-slot, 5-slot and
2-slot AXIe chassis.
The M8290A Coherent Test Solution comprises an M9537A AXIe embedded controller. This controller can control one or multiple M829xA and consumes one module slot of the AXIe chassis. The M8290A Coherent
Test Solution comes with all required software pre-installed and
configured at the factory. Therefore, the information given in Chapter 2
and Chapter 3 of this guide is only relevant if the user wishes to reinstall a
software package or change the system configuration.

Setting the Startup Delay for the Embedded Controller
For the PCIe connection between the embedded controller and the
M829xA module to work properly, the AXIe modules must boot in a certain order. To assure that this order is maintained at all times, a startup delay needs to be configured on the AXIe chassis’ system module. All M8290A systems are pre-configured accordingly at the factory. However, if a different AXIe chassis is used with any M829xA module, it may be necessary to set the startup delay manually. To do this, please complete the process described below.
1 On the embedded controller, go to the AXIe chassis' web interface (e.g. by typing “169.254.1.0” into the address bar of a web browser):

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage the circuits of the M829xA.
Avoid applying static discharges to the front-panel connectors. Before connecting any coaxial cable to the connectors, momentarily short the center and outer conductors of the cable together. Avoid touching the front-panel connectors without first touching the frame of the instrument. Be sure the instrument and all connected devices (DUT, etc.) are properly earth-grounded (to a common ground) to prevent buildup of static charge and electrical over-stress.

Power and Ventilation Requirements
For power and ventilation requirements, refer to:
• http://www.keysight.com/find/M9514A for 14-slot chassis related documentation.
• http://www.keysight.com/find/M9505A for 5-slot chassis related documentation.
• http://www.keysight.com/find/M9502A for 2-slot chassis related documentation.
Thermal Protection
Overheating Detection
The instrument monitors its internal temperature. If the temperature exceeds approximately 80°C the power supply is switched off. The instrument will not turn on automatically if the temperature is decreasing again.
Fan Failure
If a fan is broken or prevented from operating by a blockage the temperature will increase. When the temperature exceeds approximately
80°C the overheating detection switches off the instrument for safety reasons. For reliability, it is recommended to send instruments with broken or defective fans immediately to Keysight Service for repair.
Battery
The M829xA does not have a battery.
Cleaning Recommendation
WARNING
To prevent electrical shock, disconnect the instrument from mains before cleaning. Use a dry cloth or one slightly dampened with water to clean external case parts. Do not attempt to clean internally.
