Inspection, Installation, and Verification 1
Step 1: Unpack and Inspect the Module
CAUTION
The M9260A PXIe Audio Analyzer is shipped in materials which prevent damage from static. The module should only be removed from the packaging in an anti-static area after ensuring that correct anti-static precautions are taken. Store all modules in anti-static envelopes when not in use.
ESD precaution
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components. All work on electronic assemblies should be performed at a static-safe work station.
The following are the recommended ESD accessories and can be purchased from your local supplier.
– Conductive table mat with wrist-strap combination.
– Conductive floor mat with heel-strap combination.
Both types, when used together, provide a significant level of ESD protection. Of the two, only the table mat with wrist-strap combination provides adequate ESD protection when used alone. To ensure user safety, the static-safe accessories must provide at least 1 Ω of isolation from ground.
Figure 1-1 shows an example of a static-safe work station using both types of ESD
protection: conductive table mat with wrist-strap combination, and conductive floor mat with heel-strap combination.

Inspect the module for damage
Unpack the M9260A module from the shipping container. Keep the plastic port protectors and the shipping container for possible reuse.
After unpacking the M9260A module, carefully inspect the unit for any shipping damage. Report any damage to the shipping agent immediately, as such damage is not covered by the warranty.
The warranty also does not cover:
– Damage from contamination
– Normal wear and tear of mechanical components
– Manuals or fuses
CAUTION
To avoid damage when handling the M9260A module, do not touch the exposed connector pins.
NOTE

Inspection, Installation, and Verification 1
Set up the controller
The following steps describe setting up the remote controller:
1 Install a compatible PCIe adapter in the PC.
2 Connect your I/O peripherals (mouse, keyboard, and monitor) to the PC.
3 Connect a compatible interface cable (e.g. Keysight Y1202) from the PC to the
PXIe chassis.
4 Power up the PXIe chassis.
5 Power up the PC and install the PCIe adapter drivers.
CAUTION
– During startup, power up the chassis before you power up the PC.
– During shutdown, power down the PC before you power down the chassis.
NOTE
The following steps describe setting up the embedded controller:
1 Install the embedded controller module into a compatible PXIe chassis.
2 Connect your I/O peripherals (mouse, keyboard, and monitor) to the embedded controller module.
3 Power up the PXIe chassis.
Do not install the M9260A module in the PXIe chassis yet. The software must be installed first to allow the Keysight IO Libraries Connection Expert software to detect the M9260A module.
Keysight M9260A Startup Guide 25
1 Inspection, Installation, and Verification
Install the software
Install the software for the M9260A PXIe Audio Analyzer. The latest software revision can be downloaded for free at www.keysight.com/find/M9260A .
The M9260A software consists of the following:
– Keysight IO Libraries Suite (IOLS), which includes the Keysight Connection
Expert.
– Soft Front Panel (SFP), device drivers (IVI-C,IVI-COM, LabVIEW G), and related user documentation for the M9260A.
NOTE
Every PXIe module comes with its own device driver (IVI-C, IVI-COM,
LabVIEW G), and soft front panel (SFP) software.
1 Download and launch the M9260A software installer.
2 Follow the installer prompts to install all software and documentation for the
M9260A PXIe Audio Analyzer.

Step 4: Install the Module
CAUTION
– The PXIe hardware does not support “hot-swapping” capabilities
(changing modules while power is applied to the chassis).
– Before installing the M9260A module into the chassis, ensure that the chassis is powered off and unplugged to prevent damage to the module.
NOTE
The M9260A module can be used in a chassis with a PXIe or PXI-H chassis peripheral slot.
The module can be installed in any PXIe slot marked with a peripheral slot compatibility image (a solid circle containing the slot number).
The module can also be installed in any hybrid PXI slot marked with a peripheral slot compatibility image (the letter “H” and a solid circle containing the slot number).
1 Ensure that the PXIe chassis power switch is at the Off (Standby) position and the chassis power cable is unplugged.
2 If the chassis has multiple fan speed settings, ensure that the fans are set to automatic. Do not set the fan speed to low or turn it off.
3 Position the chassis so that there is ample space between the chassis fan intake and exhaust vents. Blockage by walls or obstructions affect the air flow needed for cooling. (Refer to the chassis documentation for more information about cooling).

Figure 1-3 Installing the module to the chassis
4 Hold the module by the injector/ejector handle, and slide it into an available
PXIe or hybrid slot, as shown in
– Install the module into the PXIe slot of the chassis by placing the module card edges into the front module guides (top and bottom).
– Slide the module to the rear of the chassis and ensure that the injector/ ejector handle is pushed down in the unlatched (downward) position.
– Slide the module completely into the chassis.
– When you begin to feel resistance, push up on the injector/ejector handle to fully seat the module into the chassis.
5 Latch the module by pulling up on the injector/ejector handle and secure the front panel to the chassis using the module front-panel mounting screws.
6 Tighten the screws on the module front panel. Performance may suffer if the screws are not tightened properly.

WARNING
7 Verify that the PXIe chassis fans are operable and free of dust that may restrict airflow.
8 Install all chassis covers and filler panels after installing the module. Missing filler panels may disrupt necessary air circulation in the chassis.
9 Plug in the power cable and power up the PXIe chassis.
Tighten the screws on the module front panel. Protection provided by the equipment could be impaired if the screws are not tightened properly.

Step 5: Verify the Operation of the M9260A Module
The purpose of the verification procedure for the M9260A is to ensure that the module is operating within its specifications.
The verification procedure is run using the M9260A Soft Front Panel (SFP) software included with this product. Launch the M9260A SFP by clicking its desktop shortcut icon or by clicking:
– Start > All Programs > Keysight M9260 PXIe Module > M9260 SFP
(Windows 7)
The M9260 SFP module selection interface will display all modules that are connected and installed. Review the configuration data and launch the M9260A
SFP.
The M9260A SFP will provide control over the module for operational verification
procedures. A screen capture of the SFP interface is shown in Figure 1-7 .

NOTE
– The SFP can be used as a learning tool to help you experience the module's capability and behavior through an easy-to-use GUI.
– Refer to the Keysight M9260A Soft Front Panel Help for details on how to use the SFP software.
Conduct operational verification (optional)
The verification procedure in this section helps to ensure the M9260A module is operational. No external equipment is required except for two BNC to BNC cables to enable loopback configuration from the audio generator outputs to the audio analyzer inputs.
M9260A operational verification procedure
The M9260A verification procedure involves measuring the Vac, Frequency,
THD+N, and THD parameters. The average value from the measured data samples will then be calculated. The measurement results (average) are then compared to the known values output from the audio generator.
1 Launch the M9260A Soft Front Panel (SFP).
