21 Enable the New TRX Module (in the XSA configuration file) Enable the New TRX Module (in the XSA configuration file) The new TRX module will not be detected by the E6650A software until it is enabled. The TRX can be enabled in a configuration file (as described here) or by means of a command. (See Enable the New TRX Module (by sending a SCPI command) on page 22.) 1. Open a windows explorer window and go to: E: \Agilent\Instrument\ 2. Locate the XSAconfig.xml file, and edit the file entry for the TRX module number you just installed, changing "False" to "True". 3. Save the file and then shut down and restart the EXM instrument. The XSA configuration file is read by the instrument at power-up. 4. Update the FPGA code to ensure that the installed version of instrument software matches the FPGA code installed in the TRX module. Installation Note E

22 Enable the New TRX Module (by sending a SCPI command) Enable the New TRX Module (by sending a SCPI command) The second method of enabling the new TRX is by means of a SCPI command use SCPI command: 1. Power up the E6650A instrument. It will launch an instance of the xsa software for the current TRX modules installed. 2. Establish a connection to the E6650A to send and receive SCPI commands. Example is Interactive IO: From your computer use the Keysight connection expert and open an interactive IO session. Select Connect and type in: TCPIP0::<IP Address>::5025::SOCKET Using Socket Ports Use sockets 5025, 5125, 5225, and 5325: TRX1, 5025: TCPIP0::<IP Address>::5025::SOCKET TRX2, 5125: TCPIP0::<IP Address>::5125::SOCKET TRX3, 5225: TCPIP0::<IP Address>::5225::SOCKET TRX4, 5325: TCPIP0::<IP Address>::5325::SOCKET Once you establish a connection you would send the following SCPI command. TRX3 is used in this example as the newly installed TRX module. SYSTEM:MODULE:ENABLE? TRX3 --- the response will let you know if the module is enabled or not retrieve TRX3 is enabled or not, return 1 or 0. To enable or disable the TRX module you would send one of the following SCPI commands: SYSTEM:MODULE:ENABLE TRX3, 1 --enable TRX3 SYSTEM:MODULE:ENABLE TRX3, 0 --disable TRX3 After enabling the TRX module, start the xsa application from the desk top. 3. After the xsa software application launches you should see an xsa application window for each TRX module installed. 22 Installation Note E

23 Update the FPGA Code Update the FPGA Code Update the FPGA code to ensure that the installed version of Instrument software matches the FPGA code installed in the TRX module. You will only need to perform this step once when you add or replace a TRX module. To update the FPGA code, open a windows explorer window and navigate to: C:\Program Files\Agilent\SignalAnalysis\Physics. Locate the FPGA_prog file and double click with your mouse to run the update. You will see the Update FPGA status screen below. Once the FPGA update is done, you will need to power down and restart the E6650A system for the TRX module to perform correctly. Installation Note E

24 Back Up New TRX Module Calibration Data to Hard Drive Back Up New TRX Module Calibration Data to Hard Drive 1. Back up the Calibration Data to an HDD. Connect to the TRX module so you can send SCPI commands. 2. Sent these to SCPI commands to back up the Source and Receiver calibration data to the E: drive: SERV:CAL:STORE 6000 SERV:CAL:STORE Installation Note E

25 Run Self-Test Manual Verify Run Self-Test Manual Verify 1. After enabling the TRX module and running the FPGA update, restart the E6650A and verify that all M9440A TRX modules are detected in the Show System screen. 2. Check the new TRX modules functionality. Press the System, More 1 of 2, and Diagnostic button. Run the TRX module self-test by pressing the All button.
