M938x Vector Signal Generator / CW Source Instrument Drivers

Driver type: IVI-C (32-bit/64-bit), IVI-COM (32-bit/64-bit), MATLAB (32-bit), LabVIEW (32-bit/64-bit)

IVI class support: IviDriver 1.0 

LabVIEW version: 2.0.1

Version details:

• Windows 10 support
• Support for new Signal Studio Licenses
• In the previous release, intermittent glitch/jitter was fixed by adding zeros at the beginning of ARB. As this changes timing under a certain circumstance, we stop doing this as default. A new option string “ZeroPadding” is required to activate the feature.

IVI class support: IviDriver 1.0 

LabVIEW version: 2.0.1

Version details:

• Fixed the issue of IQ swapping when loading MATLAB-generated complex data on M9381 SFP.
• Fix to update the status of Modules.Reference.BackPlaneReferenceEnabled property correctly when the M9300A module is shared.
• "Drive BP 10MHz Reference" checkbox is added to M9380 SFP and M9381 SFP. This is equivalent of IVI-COM's Modules.Reference.BackPlaneReferenceEnabled property.
• Fix for LO Level alignment error when executing with option F03.
• Fixed the logic to pick up the bit files available for firmware upgrade on M930x SFP.
• Added capability to specify resources to be used in calibration (for Keysight Internal Use).
