5450 Test Panel error

[Prads]

Hello,

I am trying to execute a vi using PXIe 1065 with NI 5673 RFSG and NI 5663 RFSA. When I try to test NI 5450, using MAX, it passes self test but upon clicking the Test Panel and running it using start, the sine wave isn't running and I donot get an amber light on the device's LED? Also after some time i get the timeout error!

Please help.

Regards,

prads

Hi Prads,

First, make sure you have configured the PXIe-5611 Properties page, setting the PXI-5652 as the LO source and the PXIe-5450 as the baseband arb.

Next, make sure there is a cable running from the PXI-5652 REF IN/OUT to the PXIe-5450 CLK IN, assuming you are not trying to lock the PXIe-5673 to an external 10 MHz reference.

Also try running self teston each of the three individual modules, and try Test Panels on the PXI-5652 and PXIe-5450 individually to see what happens.

Let us know what you find. Also, if you can post a screenshot of the error if you are still receiving one that would help.

Hi Prads,

Andy’s suggestions are the exactly what you need to follow. Are you trying to troubleshoot each part of the PXIe-5673? Or are you just trying to get started?

Hello,

I don't believe cycling the PXI chassis / PXIe-5450 power will resolve this issue.
