05 | Keysight | M9195B PXIe Digital Stimulus/Response with PPMU: 250 MHz, 16-channel - Data Sheet
Comprehensive software tool set
Keysight offers a choice of drivers and programming environments to configure and
control the PXI DSR during test development including:
– Full featured, high-level IVI-COM, IVI-C, LabVIEW programming interfaces through
drivers
– IEEE-1450/ STIL, OpenXML (Excel), or text file format for programmatically defining
patterns
– The M9195B Soft Front Panel for interactive test control and debug
– The M9192A/M9193A DSR pattern editor and data converters software enable test
patterns from various EDA systems to be read in, edited, and output to the M9195B
These test development tools can be used in powerful combinations to match the DUT’s
test flow and test requirements.
Soft Front Panel (SFP)
The SFP assists the user in the development and application of test patterns, allows
the user to change key test execution parameters, and allows the user to validate
and compensate for test fixture connectivity. During pattern development, the user
interactively loads and execute STIL, XML, or bulk data files. When loading, the tests
are checked for correct syntax and the SFP generates error messages to help debug
patterns. The SFP enables the user to the control various execution and response
logging modes. In addition to these features, the SFP uses the same IVI interface driver
calls. Each function initiated by the SFP logs an example driver call that can then be
used in a regular API environment.
IVI and LabVIEW drivers
The IVI driver set can be used to fully control all aspects of test development using the
DSR from assigning hardware pins to creating and executing waveform patterns using
the M9195B. The drivers include high level commands for:
– Initial configuration including pin/channel names assignments, signal direction,
grouping pins/channels to make vector definition easier.
– Setting physical layer conditions such as voltage levels, active loads
– Defining single or multisite configurations.
– Pattern definition and waveform timing.
– Pattern sequencing
