PREPARATION FOR USE
OVERVIEW
This section provides a step-by-step process for setting up the EX7000-OEM for use. It covers
hardware installation, input connections, and software installation.
UNPACKING
When the EX7000-OEM is unpacked from its shipping carton, the contents should include the
following items:
• EX7000-OEM (plus options, if applicable)
• EX7000-OEM User’s Manual (this manual)

• Digital Interface Cable (VTI P/N: 52-0497-003)
All components should be immediately inspected for damage upon receipt of the unit.
INSTALLATION LOCATION
The EX7000-OEM is designed to be largely insensitive to external electrical, magnetic, and
thermal disturbances. However, as with all precision instrumentation, certain precautions, if taken
into consideration, can help achieve maximum performance.
1) The unit should be located away from sources of extreme high or low temperatures.
2) The unit should be located away from sources of high magnetic fields such as motors,
generators, and power transformers.
The EX7000-OEM employs active cooling for maximum product reliability. When the
EX7000-OEM is installed into a test fixture, the user must ensure that adequate air flow is
provided to all components.
DRIVER INSTALLATION
The EX7000-OEM is shipped with a VXI Technology, Inc. Drivers and Product Manuals CD
which includes software drivers, user’s manuals, the VXI Technology Product Catalog, as well as
some third-party software. Please refer to the ReadMe.txt file included on the Distribution CD for
installation instructions specific to revision of the CD provided.
