User and maintenance instructions

Installation and power-on

Power off installation, single slot fixed; chassis reliable grounding to prevent static electricity

Power on preheating for 15 minutes, NI MAX self-check without hardware errors

Keep ventilation during operation, temperature ≤ 55℃, do not block fans

Wiring and operation

High-frequency signals use 50 Ω coaxial, BNC tightened to reduce reflection

Select 50 Ω for high frequency, 1 MΩ for low frequency/high voltage; AC coupling for small signals, DC coupling for DC

Set trigger level reasonably to avoid false triggering; prioritize edge triggering for high-speed signals

Use PXI Star for multi-module synchronization to ensure ps-level phase consistency

Maintenance and calibration

It is recommended to conduct NIST traceability once every 2 years; perform internal self-calibration to compensate for temperature drift

Regularly clean BNC/SMB interfaces to keep dry; add dust caps for long-term inactivity

Avoid condensation in the environment, humidity 10%–90% RH, away from strong electromagnetic interference and vibration

Do not input >±7 V voltage; do not plug and unplug while powered on; avoid severe vibrations
