Hardware Requirements
Controllers A PXI or PXI Express embedded controller or remote controller (external PC connected to the chassis by a PCI-to-PXI interface) is required.
Embedded controller
Keysight M9036A or M9037A or an embedded controller that meets the following requirements: l l l
PXIe system controller (PXI-1 embedded controllers are not compatible)
Utilize a 2x8, or 4x4, PXIe system slot link configuration.
Run one of the operating systems listed in System Requirements (above).
Remote controller
(Keysight M9018A chassis only) A PC running one of the operating systems listed in System Requirements above and a Keysight
M9021A Cable Interface x8 with one of the following PC interface options: l l
Keysight M9045B PCIe ExpressCard Adaptor x1, with cable (for a laptop PC)
Keysight M9048A PCIe Desktop Adaptor x8, with cable (for desktop PCs)
Due to the Microsoft end of support for Windows XP, M9393A is not supported on Windows XP. At the time of release 1.1
there were no known major problems running on Windows XP. However if you encounter an issue unique to Windows XP,
Keysight may not attempt to address the issue.
Software Installation
Install the software in the order indicated in the following table into the embedded controller, or PC if your configuration contains an M9021A PXIe Cable Interface.
Restart your controller when prompted by the respective software installer.
If you are using a remote controller, use this sequence to restart the PC and chassis:
1) Shut down the PC. 2) Power down the chassis. 3) Power up the chassis. 4) Power up the PC.

Step 5: Verify Operation of the Keysight M9393A PXIe Vector Signal Analyzer
Step 5: Verify Operation of the Keysight M9393A PXIe Vector Signal
Analyzer
In this step you will verify correct operation of the Keysight M9393A PXIe Performance Vector Signal Analyzer. Before running a Self Test assure that all required software is installed, the chassis is powered on, and all cabling is correct.
See "Cable the Instruments" on page 22
for proper cabling.
The first step in this process is to conduct a Self Test of the M9393A.
1. Open the M9393A SFP by selecting Start > All Programs > Keysight> M9393 > M9393 SFP.
2. Upon opening the SFP, you are presented with the "Connect to Instrument" dialog. Use Control/Select to select all of the modules that are components of the M9393A and press Connect. For example:
If not all modules and their slot loc-
ations are visible in the SFP "Connect to Instrument" dialog, close the SFP and see
Communications
on the following page. After running Keysight Connection
Expert, you may restart the SFP.
3. Check the front panel Status LEDs.
See "Status LED States" on page 31
.
4. Conduct a Self Test (Utilities > Self Test... > Run Self Test)
If the Self Test passes (see results below), go to
Step 6: Make a Measurement (page 32)
.
It is important that no signal is present at the RF Input of the Keysight M9365A PXIe Downconverter when doing a Self Test. If a signal is present, it may result in a false failure.

Step 5: Verify Operation of the Keysight M9393A PXIe Vector Signal Analyzer
If the M9393A Self Test fails, it indicates which module is likely to need service. However, you must return all modules (except the M9300A) and all cables.
See "Return an Instrument for Service" on page 11
.
Communications
If you are unable to communicate with the Keysight M9393A PXIe Performance Vector Signal Analyzer verify that the following installations are correct: l
Keysight IO Libraries Suite l
M9393A SFP program l
Module and chassis drivers l
System Interface Card, cable and PC PXIe card connections, if you are using an external host PC
If not all modules and their slot locations are visible in the SFP "Connect to Instrument" dialog:
1. Close the SFP.
2. Start Keysight Connection Expert, by selecting Start > All Programs > Keysight Connection Expert. If any or all modules and their slot locations are still not visible, select Refresh All.
3. Restart the SFP.
