PCIe Connectivity with your Keysight AXIe or PXIe Chassis
应用文章
Introduction
Keysight Technology, Inc’s AXIe and PXIe chassis use PCIe as their primary communications link. Using the PCIe bus has many advantages such as availability of standard hardware, signaling methods and debug tools. Despite these advantages you can run into cases where chassis and/or instruments have issues establishing communicating to the PC controller. The focus of this technical note is to provide a guide to address PCI/PCIe communications issues if they occur while using the Keysight AXIe or PXIe chassis products with external PC controllers. PCI/PCIe connectivity is best indicated by viewing the Microsoft Windows Device Manager (WDM) as shown in Figure 1.
When to use this guide
This guide will be helpful if the chassis and some or all of the modules are not present and viewable in WDM (Figure 1a). In addition, this guide will discuss situations where a yellow icon appears next to the PXI module(s) as it appears in WDM (Figure 1b).
