Installation

2 Installation

Before putting the unit into operation for the first time, be sure to read and observe the important safety and operating instructions supplied in the operating manual.
If the software is not already installed, read the readme.txt file in the main directory of the software package to determine the requirements and the proce­dure for installing the software.
If your CompactTSVP is equipped with an internal system controller, you can put the instrument into operation as follows after connecting a monitor, keyboard and mouse:
1. Switch on the R&S TSVP at the rear.
2. Log on under Windows (no password!).
3. Start the "R&S GTSL TSVP Self Test" in Windows start menu. Details of the self-test are described in the "Service Manual CompactTSVP and Pow­erTSVP".
If your CompactTSVP should be controlled by an external computer with help of a compact PCI bridge solution, you can put the instrument into operation as follows:
1. Install the R&S GTSL package on your computer. See "R&S GTSL Software Description" for details.
2. Install the bridge module into your computer. Refer the appropriate manual how to install the PC card and how to connect the components.
3. Connect the CompactTSVP to the computer.
4. Power on the CompactTSVP first.
5. Power on your computer.
6. Start the R&S GTSL "Instrument Soft Panels" application from the start menu. All installed TSVP modules should be listed in the main window. In the "Tools" menu use the option "Create Physical.ini…" to automatically generate the configuration file. See "R&S GTSL Software Description" for details.
7. Start the "R&S GTSL TSVP Self Test" application from the Windows start menu. Details of the self-test are described in the "Service Manual Com­pactTSVP and PowerTSVP".

Production Test Platforms
Product Overview

3 Product Overview

3.1 Production Test Platforms

3.1.1 R&S TS-PCA3

The Test System Versatile Platform R&S CompactTSVP is a standardized modu­lar platform for the program-controlled testing of modules and terminals in the fac­tory or laboratory. With its flexible configuration and the use of worldwide stand­ards, it can be perfectly adapted to suit the needs of the user. Larger ATE (Auto­matic Test Equipment) systems can be created by combining R&S CompactTSVP (TS-PCA3) and PowerTSVP (TS-PWA3). The production test platform is intended for use with a control processor which performs the test on the test devices by means of peripheral modules. This control processor is known as the system con­troller and should preferably be in the R&S CompactTSVP. However a standard PC can also be used running across a suitable interface with the controller. The system controller executes user-created sequences that define the test proce­dures and specification limits. The modules plugged into the R&S CompactTSVP can be used for the creation of test and control signals and for the measuring related evaluation of the response from the UUT. For this purpose they are able to pass signals between each other and select signals under program control and pass them to external measuring systems. The peripheral modules can be quickly and flexibly adapted to the test devices by preceding the R&S CompactTSVP with an adapter frame which connects the signals securely and with a low rate of wear. If the production test requires switching functions with a large number of channels or the switching of high currents, then the R&S CompactTSVP can be supple­mented with a PowerTSVP. The R&S PowerTSVP is controlled via the CAN-Bus of the R&S CompactTSVP.

3.1.2 R&S TS-PWA3

The R&S PowerTSVP is primarily intended as a flexible switching unit for mea­surement signals, signal sources and UUT loads. This facilitates the migration of existing and proprietary "Rack and Stack" systems to a production test platform.
