To integrate the ETX-1620x, you must ensure that the test adapter that the system is a part of is configured appropriately with the following considerations.

Signal Path Lengths
Ensure all signal paths connected to the mass interconnect are less than 3 meters in length.
Grounding the ETX-1620x
You must ground the ETX-1620x rack frame as described in Pulse Current Multiplexer Attributes.
Closing Interlocks
The ETX-1620x includes an interlock system to prevent devices from outputting hazardous voltage except under controlled conditions.
Configuring EMO Measure
The EMO Measure feature can be used to remotely hard shutdown the rack when the mass interconnect is connected to a test adapter, as indicated in the following caution.
External Current Transducers
The system only supports transducers with voltage outputs. The mass interconnect pins on J18 cannot adequately carry outputs from a current driven transducer.
Output Power Isolation
It is critical to maintain isolation between the outputs of the high-power supply, the pulser bias supply, and ground.
Isolation Monitor
The ETX-1620x uses a Bender iso685 isolation monitor to monitor the isolation of the high-power supply output. The isolation monitoring system only monitors the isolation from ground of the high-power supply output; it does not ensure isolation of any other subsystem.
Ethernet Topology
Learn about the Ethernet connections between the ETX-1620x rack I/O panel, PXIe controller, rack control unit (RCU), MOXA switch, and other components.
