Hello,
We're building out our VNA setup using M9010A PXIe Chassis. Is it possible to use NI PXIe-8301 Thunderbolt 3 controller to control the cards on the Keysight M9010A PXIe Chassis? In particular, we would like to use Keysight standard software to access M9375A PXI Vector Network Analyzer on the chassis via NI's Thunderbolt 3 controller. Do we know if this is possible? Thanks
I reached out to one of our PXI system compatibility experts and was able to ascertain the following information:
- It doesn’t work with any Keysight PXI(not to be confused with PXIe) modules.
- User may observed this issue in the Chassis SFP:
This is due to the PXIe Chassis Family driver. R&D has acknowledged this and shall fix it in coming release.
Because of these issues, we do not officially support the NI TBT system module.
so it sounds like it may work fine with your PXIe chassis, but if you encounter problem number 2 above, you may have to wait until a fix is issued. The list of officially supported controllers and PCs can be found here: Tested Computer List.
If you need to further assistance on this issue, your best bet is to contact Keysight Support.
Hello,

Thanks,

Hello, do we have a beta version of this fix available to test or timeframe this issue will be fixed? Thanks
A group in Keysight has tested this NI module and it was successful. However, the M937xA series was not one of the modules tested with this Remote Control module.
