05 | Keysight | M9195A PXIe Digital Stimulus/Response with PMU: 250 MHz, 16-channel - Data Sheet
Comprehensive software tool set
Keysight offers a choice of drivers and programming environments to configure and con-
trol 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 M9195A Soft Front Panel for interactive test control and debug
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 com-
pensate 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 M9195A. 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
