5. Press F8: EXECUTE OPERATION, and follow the on-screen
prompts.
NOTE
After each install and load operation, a message appears
on the screen informing you the operation succeeded or
failed. If the message tells you the operation failed, you
may need to remove applications or files from the hard disk
and try installing or loading again. If the operation fails
again, refer to Appendix A: Error Messages and
Acquisition Problems.
If there is inadequate disk free space available on the hard disk, you
must use the Remove Application or Delete File function of the Disk
Services menu to free up enough disk space to install the support
software. The approximate space required to install the software is
listed on the label of the floppy disk.
CONFIGURING THE DAS 9200
When there are two or three 92A96 Modules in adjacent slots, they are
automatically formed into a variable-width module by the system
software at power up. If you need to use one 92A96 Module from a
variable-width module, you must reconfigure the DAS 9200 prior to
selecting software support in the 92A96 Configuration menu. Refer to
the discussion of the System Configuration menu in the DAS 9200
System User Manual for details on how to reconfigure variable-width
modules.
Refer to your module user manual for additional information about
connecting probe cables, and positioning and installing 92A96
Modules.
In a system with many modules, it is easier to identify which modules
are connected to the probe adapter if slot number labels are applied to
the 92A96 probe interface housings and DAS 9200 mainframe.
Figure 2-1 shows where to apply slot number labels.

CONFIGURING THE PROBE ADAPTER
The Normal/Timing jumper (J1220) configures the probe adapter for
either normal operation or to acquire timing data. It should be placed in
the DISASM position to acquire state data, and in the TIMING position
to acquire timing data. (When acquiring timing data, the multiplexers
on the probe are held in “straight-through” mode; addresses are logged
with address bit A0 logged on A0:0, A1 logged on A0:1, A2 on A0:2,
and so on, regardless of what type of access is taking place.) Figure 2-2
shows the location of J1220 on the probe adapter.

Installation and Connections
CONNECTING TO THE SYSTEM UNDER TEST
Before you connect to the SUT, you must connect the standard probes
to the 92A96 Module card. Your SUT must also have a minimum
amount of clear space surrounding the microcontroller to accommodate
the probe adapter. Refer to Appendix C: Service Information for the
required clearances.
To connect the probe adapter to the SUT, do the following:
1. Turn off power to your SUT. It is not necessary to turn off the
DAS 9200.
CAUTION
Static discharge can damage the microcontroller, probe
adapter, podlets, or the 92A96 Module. To prevent static
damage, handle all the above only in a static-free
environment.
Always wear a grounding wrist strap, or a similar device,
while handling the microcontroller and probe adapter.
2. To discharge your stored static electricity, touch the ground jack
located on the back of the DAS 9200. Then, touch any of the
ground pins of the probe adapter to discharge stored static
electricity from the probe adapter.
3. Place the probe adapter onto the antistatic shipping foam to
support the probe as shown in Figure 2-3. This prevents the
circuit board from flexing.
4. Connect the clock and 8-channel probes to the probe adapter as
shown in Figure 2-3. Match the channel groups and numbers on
the interface housing to the corresponding pins on the probe
adapter.

8-CHANNEL PROBE
Hold the 8-Channel Probes by
the podlet holder when connecting them to the probe
adapter. Do not hold them by
the cables or necks of the
podlets.
Installation and Connections
Figure 2-3. Connecting the podlets to a typical PQFP probe adapter.
CAUTION
This JEDEC PQFP (Plastic Quad Flat Pack) probe
adapter is equipped with a clip that has been designed for
tight tolerances.
The clip supports only Plastic Quad Flat Pack devices that
conform to the JEDEC M0-069 October 1990
specification. Attaching the clip to a device that does not
conform to this JEDEC standard can easily damage the
clip’s connection pins and/or the microcontroller, causing
the probe adapter to malfunction.
Please contact your IC manufacturer to verify that the
microcontroller you are targeting conforms to the JEDEC
specification.
For best performance and long probe life, exercise extreme
care when connecting the probe to the microcontroller.

5. Remove the probe adapter from the shipping foam and carefully
seat the PQFP100 converter clip on it, as shown in Figure 2-4.
Refer to the PQFP100 Converter Clip Instructions included with
the product for more information about the converter clip.
Hold the probe adapter in one
hand, align the PQFP converter
clip with the pins, and press on by
applying even pressure on all
sides of the clip; be sure clip is
completely seated.

6. Line up the pin 1 indicator on the target head of the circuit board
(a white triangle) with the pin 1 indicator on the microcontroller.
CAUTION
Failure to correctly place the probe adapter onto the
microcontroller may permanently damage all electrical
components when power is applied.
Center the clip on the microcontroller and apply an equal
downward force on all four sides of the clip, slightly
rocking the adapter in a clockwise circle.
Do not leverage the probe adapter when installing or
removing the probe.
7. Place the probe adapter onto the SUT as shown in Figure 2-5.

MICROCONTROLLER
Figure 2-5. Placing a typical PQFP probe adapter onto the SUT.
CAUTION
The probe adapter board may slip off or slip to one side
of the microcontroller because of the extra weight of the
podlets. This can damage the microcontroller and the
SUT. To prevent this from occurring, stabilize the probe
adapter by placing a nonconductive object (such as
foam) between the adapter and the SUT.
