Getting Started ParBERT Overview
16 Agilent 81250 ParBERT Installation Guide, February 2002
If this type of system needs more slots, then one or two expander
frames E4848B can be added.
The first expander frame consists of a mainframe, two E1482B VXI
bus extender modules, and connection cables. The VXI bus extender
modules require one slot in both the basic mainframe and the
expander frame.
The second expander frame needs only one E1482B VXI bus extender
module and connection cables. The second expander frame is
connected to the first expander frame.
A VXI bus extender extends the VXI bus of a mainframe by connecting
it to a second mainframe. As an alternative to the E1482B VXI bus
extender module, the NI VXI-MXI-2 Bus Extenders can also be used.
For a system with external controller, the bus extenders can be
replaced by IEEE 1394 VXI modules in the expander frames.
Modules
A ParBERT system comprises at least one clock module and one data
generator/analyzer module with frontends.
