by yourself. The size and weight of the mainframe requires two people to lift or move it.

Networking Overview

The TLA7000 series instruments communicate between the controller and mainframes via GbE (gigabit Ethernet) connections using IP (Internet Protocol) standards. Because of the size of typical TLA data ﬁles, GbE components are the preferred network hardware over more typical 100BaseT networks. Use at l east a

t5e cable for your network connections.

All connected devices must have unique IP addresses to operate on a network.

his can be achieved by manually entering a static address in the TLA, or if your

T network has a DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) server, it can dynamically provide an address that meets these needs.

TLA7016 Networ

k Search Performance. The TLA Application software requires a

DNS (Domain Name Service) service to translate TLA7016 host names into IP addresses. If there is not a DNS service available on the network, then you may experience long search times when attempting to locate TLA7016 mainframes on your network.

To eliminate this long search time, Tektronix recommends that you include a hosts ﬁle on your PC under <Windows folder>\system32\drivers\etc directory. (An example of the contents of this ﬁle is shown below.)

120.0.0.1 localhost

192.168.0.19 TLA7016_Lab1

192.168.0.20 TLA7016_Lab2

192.168.0.21 TLA7016_Lab3

TLA IP Address Lease Time. To facilitate reliable network operation, DHCP-as

signed IP addresses have a "lease time" where they are normally "leased" to a device for a preset time, for example, one day or one week. After the lease time expires, the actual IP address may change.

If the lease expires causing an IP change, a ll network connections between the TLA and host will also expire, stopping network communic ations and causing the TLA application to terminate. The TLA application must be restarted to correct this condition.

Network Security

If you plan to operate the TLA application remotely for extended periods of time (whether acquiring data or not), then lease times must be set to a period of time that guarantees that the IP address does not change. Talk to your network

inistrator if you have questions.

The user interface on the logic analyzer system operates under the Microsoft Windows XP Professional Operating System. Tektronix strongly recommends

he following to ensure your instrument is protected:

All TLA mainframes are conﬁgured to enable the standard Windows XP

rewall by default. Windows provides details for changing ﬁrewall settings

ﬁ

in the Control Panel.

Install operating system updates regularly

Use up-to-date antivirus software

NOTE. To use your instrument over a network you must join either a workgroup

or a domain. If you plan to control your instrument remotely, both the instrument and the remote computer must be in either the same workgroup or the same domain on the network.

Merging Modules

A merged logic analyzer module set consists of a m aster logic analyzer module and up to four slave logic analyzer modules that are physically connected together by a merge cable and are merged in software. Review the guidelines under Logic Analyzer Module Merging Rules, and then follow the steps to physically connect the modules

Logic Analyzer Merging Rules

The following logic analyzer module merging rules must be followed:

The TLA7BB2 Logic Analyzer Module is the only 68-channel module that can be merged. For other modules, 102 or 136 channel modules can be merged.

Logic analyzer modules must be in adjacent slots and physically connected.

Logic analyzer modules cannot be merged across mainframes (between the benchtop mainframe and one or more expansion mainframes).

Merging logic analyzer modules with unequal memory depths will result in the merged modules assuming the depth of the shallowest module.

When merging logic a nalyzer modules of unequal channel widths, use the logic analyzer module with the highest number of channels as the master module. If there is a second slave module, the ﬁrst slave must have at least as many channels as the second slave module. Slave 3 cannot have more channels than the master, slave 1 or slave 2. Slave 4 cannot have more channels than the master, slave 1, slave 2, or slave 3.

together before installing the modules in the mainframe.

The logic analyzer modules must have the same ﬁrmware version.

The maximum merged combinations are two TLA7Lx and TLA7Mx modules; three TLA7Nx, TLA7Px, or TLA7Qx modules; ﬁve TLA7Axx modules, ﬁve TLA7Bxx modules, or ﬁve TLA7NAx modules.

TLA7Nx, TLA7Px, and TLA7Qx modules cannot be merged with TLA7Lx or TLA7Mx modules.

TLA7Bxx modules cannot be merged with TLA7Nx, TLA7Px, TLA7Qx, TLA7Lx, TLA7Mx, or TLA7Axx modules.

TLA7Axx modules cannot be merged with TLA7Nx, TLA7Px, TLA7Qx, TLA7Lx, TLA7Mx, or TLA7Bxx modules.

To merge a logic analyzer module to an established merged set, the established merged set must ﬁrst be unmerged through software. Unmerged modules are the only potential candidates to add to a merged conﬁguration.

In systems with three or fewer benchtop mainframes, physically merged modules are not automatically established as a merged set until you merge them through software.

Prerequisites

TLA7Bxx Deskew Procedures

Perform these procedures after meeting the following requirements:

The logic analyzer requires a 30-minute warm-up time in a +20 C to +30 C environment before performing these procedures.

The TLACAL software must be installed on the instrument.

The logic analyzer probes must be securely connected (screwed down) to the speciﬁ your application. All adjustments are made with the logic analyzer probes connected to speciﬁc probe connectors.

CAUTION. Moving the probes to a different slot connector after performing the

deskew procedures invalidates the adjustments. If y ou have to disconnect a probe after performing the deskew procedure, make sure that you reconnect the probe to the s

ame probe connector.

Installing the TLACAL Software

The TLACAL software must be installed on the instrument before you can use it. You must close the TLA application before starting the TLACAL software; you cannot run both applications at the same time.

NOTE. If your instrument already has the TLACAL software installed, verify that

the software version is the same as the ver sion that came with the TLA application.

5. Click OK to begin the installation program and then follow the on-screen

instructions.

6. Remove the disc when the installation is complete.

After you install the software a TLACAL icon appears on your desktop.

To remove the TLACAL software from the instrument, use the Add/Remove Program utility from the Windows Control Panel.

llowing steps to install the TLACAL software:

Perform the Deskew procedures using the speciﬁc set of probes attached in the same conﬁguration that will be used with your application to keep the skew to a minimum. The deskew measurements are only valid for speciﬁc probe and module conﬁgurations. The following deskew procedures are available:

Deskew. This procedures measures relative delays from a module and probe combination. It compensates for variances due to differences between cable lengths and other factors that cause delay differences between channels across the module.

Merged Deskew. This procedure measures the relative delay between modules in a merged conﬁguration to align data from all modules within the merged set. The modules must be physically merged together.

Restore Factory Defaults. This option removes the results from previous Deskew and Merge Deskew adjustment settings and restores the default factory deskew settings. This prevents you from reusing calibration data that was intended for other speciﬁc module and probe conﬁgurations.

Complete the following steps to start the TLACAL software and to complete the adjustments:

1. Close the TLA application (if it is running).

2. Double-click the TLACAL icon on the desktop to start the s oftware.

3. When the TLA Connection dialog box appears, connect to your instrument.

Product Overview

This chapter describes the product controls and connectors of the logic analyzers. Refer to the TLA Quick Start User Manual for operating information on the logic analyzer.

Front Panel Controls

You can use the front-panel controls to operate most of the portable mainframes. (See Figure 65.) You can also attach an external keyboard, monitor, and mouse to operate the logic analyzers. The benchtop mainframes do not have front-panel controls and require an external controller—the TLA7PC1 benchtop PC with a keyboard, monitor, and mouse, or a user-supplied PC loaded with the TLA application software.
