INSTALLING SOFTWARE
Before installing the microcontroller application software, you should
be aware that there are three different versions of DAS 9200 system
software: the 9201T version, the 92XTerm, and the 9202XT version.
The 9201T version allows you to operate the DAS 9200 from a 9201T
terminal. The 92XTerm version allows you to operate the DAS 9200 in
an X window on a workstation. The 9202XT version allows you to
operate the DAS 9200 in an X window from a 9202XT terminal.
NOTE
To use the microcontroller support package, you must
install application software that is compatible with your
DAS 9200 mainframe configuration and system software.
If you have any two types of DAS 9200 system software (9201T,
92XTerm, 9202XT), and you switch between the two, you must install
compatible application software on each system.
If you try to install application software onto an incompatible system or
terminal using DAS 9200 System Software Release 3, V1.1 or greater,
an error message displays.
If you try to install application software onto an incompatible system or
terminal using DAS 9200 System Software Release 3, V1.0 or lower,
the system will install the software but it will not operate properly when
you try to use it.
Install the application software onto the DAS 9200 as follows:
1. Power on the DAS 9200 mainframe.
2. Insert the appropriate disk into the DAS 9200’s floppy drive.
3. Press the Select Menu key, and select the Disk Services menu.
4. Select Install Application in the Operation field of the menu.

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 9200System 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.

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

receiving a signal to or from another module, or to the Sync Out SMB
connector on the module. You should refer to your DAS 9200 SystemUser Manual for an in-depth description of defining and using signals,
and to specific module user manuals for a description of using the Sync
Out SMB connector.

Section 5:GENERAL PURPOSE ANALYSIS
You may need to perform general purpose (timing) analysis on your
Am29205 system prior to, during, and after attempting to integrate your
software with the Am29205 system hardware. When performing
hardware analysis, you will want to use the data acquisition module to
acquire data with a finer resolution. When more data samples are taken
in a given period of time, the resolution in the Timing display increases,
letting you see signal activity that would otherwise go undetected.
This section provides information on the following:
S
clocking
S
triggering
S
displaying data
S
supplied Timing Format Definition file
To acquire and display timing data, you need to change the clocking
selection and trigger program, acquire data, and view it in the Timing
menu. A predefined Timing Format Definition overlay file called
29205_96 can be used to view Am29205 timing data. A description of
these files and how to use them can be found later in this section.
There often is a need to view data in a split screen display with state
data in one half and timing data in the other. Do not disconnect any of
the 92A96 probe cables or interface housings if you are analyzing data
in this manner. Instead, use the extra channels available from the 92A96
Module to make other Am29205 system connections.
CLOCKING
To change the data sampling rate, use the Clock menu.
The Normal/Timing jumper, J1220, on the probe adapter should be set
in the Timing position to acquire timing data. For more information on
the Normal/Timing jumper, refer to Section 2.
When using the 92A96 Module for timing analysis, you will want to
use the Internal or External clocking modes. The Internal clock
selection can sample data up to 100 MHz, which has a 10 ns resolution
between samples. The External clock selection samples data on every
active clock edge on the 92A96 clock inputs up to 100 MHz.
92DM927 Am29205 Instruction Manual
Online Version
5-1
General Purpose Analysis
The Clock menu is shown in Figure 3-1. The default clocking mode is
Custom when microcontroller support is used; you will need to change
it to either Internal or External. Your 92A96 Module User Manual
contains an in-depth description of Internal and External clocking.
Custom Clocking
Custom clocking only stores one data sample for each bus transaction,
which can take one or more clock cycles. Custom clocking also
time-aligns certain signals that otherwise would be skewed relative to
the current bus transaction. This clocking selection is generally
unproductive for timing analysis. Refer to Appendix B for a more
in-depth description of how Custom clocking is used with the probe
adapter to acquire data.
Internal Clocking
When you select Internal as the clocking mode, the 92A96 Module
stores one data sample as often as every 10 ns (100 MHz). This
clocking selection is commonly referred to as asynchronous.
Two typical uses of Internal clocking might be to verify that all the
Am29205 signals are transitioning as expected or to measure timing
relationship between signal transitions.
It is possible to acquire asynchronous data at rates of 200 MHz and
400 MHz. The faster the 92A96 Module acquires data, the fewer
channels it can acquire data on. A single 92A96 Module can acquire
data on 24 channels at 400 MHz or 2.5 ns resolution. Refer to your
92A96 Module User Manual for information on sampling data at speeds
faster than 100 MHz.
External Clocking
When you select External as the clocking mode, the 92A96 Module
acquires and stores data based on the clock channel up to 100 MHz.
This clocking selection is commonly referred to as synchronous.
By selecting the rising edge of CLK: 3 on the acquisition module as the
clock channel, and turning off the remaining three clocks, the module
will sample data on every rising edge of the clock. No data is acquired
on the falling clock edge unless you select both edges.
You can also use the other three clock channels as qualifiers or clocks to
further modify the clocking in of information from your Am29205
system.

TRIGGERING
All the Trigger menu selections available for use with the 92A96
Module are still available for use with timing analysis. Refer to your
module user manual for a list and description of the selections.
ACQUIRING DATA
You can acquire data as described in the Acquiring Data description in
Section 4. The Normal/Timing jumper, J1220, on the probe adapter
should be set in the Timing position to acquire timing data. For more
information on the Normal/Timing jumper, refer to Section 2.
DISPLAYING DATA
General purpose analysis requires that you view data in either the State
or Timing menus. The following discussion describes these menus.
Timing Menu
In the Timing menu, every channel is shown as a waveform, and groups
of channels are shown as bus forms.
A predefined Timing Format Definition overlay file, part of the
Am29205 microcontroller support, is available for you to use when
displaying data in the Timing format. The 29205_96 file is installed on
the DAS 9200 with the support software.
The 29205_96 Timing Format file places the Am29205 system clock
first followed by the Address and Data groups displayed as bus forms
containing bus values instead of as individual timing waveforms. These
groups are followed by other important control signals. Figure 5-1
shows data displayed using the 29205_96 file.
To select the supplied Timing Format Definition file, follow these steps:
1. Select the Timing menu and press F5: DEFINE FORMAT.
2. Press F5: RESTORE FORMAT.
3. Select 29205_96, and press the Return key. A message tells you
the format file is selected.
4. Press F8: EXIT & SAVE to return to the Timing menu.
Refer to the channel assignment tables in Appendix C for the lists of
individual channels and their Am29205 signal names.

Other Suggestions. If the previous suggestions do not fix the problem
with acquiring data, try the following:
1. Reload the module setup; select 29205 Support in the 92A96
Configuration menu to restore the DAS 9200 to a known state.
2. Possible AC and DC loading problems may be remedied by
removing one or both of the protective sockets from the probe
adapter. These sockets may add enough additional inductance to
your Am29205 system to affect it. Refer to Appendix C for a
description to remove sockets from the probe adapter.
If the DAS 9200 still is not acquiring data after trying these solutions,
there may be a problem with your Am29205 system. Try performing
hardware analysis with your DAS 9200 system to ensure that the
Am29205 signals are valid at the time the probe adapter samples them.
Refer to Section 5: General Purpose Analysis for information on data
sampling rates using either the Internal or External clocking selections
in the Clock menu. Also refer to Appendix B: How Data is Acquired to
see when the support software, probe adapter, and 92A96 Module
sample the various Am29205 system signals.

Appendix B:HOW DATA IS ACQUIRED
This appendix explains how the 92A96 Module acquires Am29205
signals using the 92DM927 probe adapter and software. This appendix
also provides additional information on microcontroller signals
accessible on or not accessible on the probe adapter, and on extra
92A96 channels available for you to use for additional connections.
92A96 CUSTOM CLOCKING
A special clocking program (called Custom) is loaded to the 92A96
Module every time the Am29205 Software Support is selected in the
Configuration menu. With Custom clocking, the module logs in signals
from multiple groups of channels at different times when they are valid
on the Am29205 bus. The module then sends all the logged-in signals
to the trigger machine and to the acquisition memory of the module for
storage.
In Custom clocking, the module’s clocking state machine (CSM)
generates one master sample for each Am29205 bus cycle, no matter
how many clock cycles are contained in that cycle.
ROM, PIA, or DMA Access
ROM, PIA, and DMA accesses can be extended by the WAIT* signal
and can be of different lengths depending on the WSx, IOWAITx, and
DMAWAITx bits in the internal registers. Because of this, the CSM
waits until the control signal disappears to identify the end of the cycle.

PIA, and DMA accesses.

How Data is Acquired
CLOCKING OPTIONS
The 92A96 clocking algorithm for the Am29205 microcontroller has
two variations: DRAM Refresh Cycles Excluded, and DRAM Refresh
Cycles Included.
DRAM Refresh Cycles Excluded
DRAM Refresh cycles are not acquired or displayed.
DRAM Refresh Cycles Included
All bus cycles, including DRAM refresh cycles, are logged in.
ALTERNATE MICROCONTROLLER CONNECTIONS
You can connect to microcontroller signals that are not required by the
support software so you can do more advanced timing analysis. These
signals may or may not be accessible on the probe adapter board. The
following paragraphs and tables list signals that are accessible on or are
not accessible on the probe adapter board.
For a list of signals required or not required by the support software,
refer to the channel assignment tables in Appendix C.
Signals On the Probe Adapter
The probe adapter board contains pins for microcontroller signals that
are not acquired by the 92DM927 software. You can connect extra
podlets to these pins, because they can be useful for general purpose
analysis. However, these signals are not defined in the Channel setup
menu; you must enter the Channel setup menu and assign those signals
to a new channel group.
Table B-1 shows the microcontroller signals available on the probe
adapter’s square pin grid; the rest of the microcontroller signals on the
grid are connected to the probe adapter. Refer to the PQFP100Converter Chip Instructions included with this product for a pin
number locator diagram.
Figure B-4 shows the square pin grid on the probe adapter.

PROBE ADAPTER DESCRIPTION
The probe adapter is a nonintrusive piece of hardware that allows the
92A96 to acquire data from an Am29205 microcontroller in its own
operating environment with little affect, if any, on that system. Refer to
Figure C-1 while reading the following discussion.
C-2
PROBE
ADAPTER
Figure C-1. Overview of the standard probe and probe adapter.
The probe adapter consists of a circuit board and a socket for the
Am29205 microcontroller. The probe adapter connects to the SUT.
Signals from the Am29205 system flow from the probe adapter to the
podlet groups. The signals flow through the probe signal leads to the
92A96 Module.
All circuitry on the probe adapter is powered from the SUT (system
under test).
The probe adapter accommodates the AMD Am29205 microcontroller
in a 100-pin PQFP package.
92DM927 Am29205 Instruction Manual

Service Information
Configuring the Probe Adapter
The Normal/Timing jumper (J1220) 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.)
Probe Adapter Circuit Description
The probe adapter uses a 74F373 to latch 8 bits of the RAS address
during a DRAM access, and three 74F157As to demultiplex the DRAM
(RAS and CAS) address onto the 92A96 address podlets. During any
other access, the multiplexers are set to pass the signals straight
through.
Two 16L8s funnel the control signals down into 8 Clocks/Quals and
generate the latch enable signal (RAS_D*). They also latch the 19th
and 21st bits of the RAS address, demultiplex the 23rd bit of the RAS
address, generate the mux-select signal, and distinguish a refresh from a
real access by latching the logical value of (CAS2* or CAS3*) when
RASx goes low.
The probe adapter supports both page-mode and static-column DRAM
access by latching the upper address (RAS) in hardware and logging
these cycles with their proper addresses. The acquired data’s timestamp
is the only indication, in a static column or page block mode, that the
read was a single read or a group of reads.
Jumper J1220 on the probe adapter holds the multiplexer chips in
“straight through” mode. This allows asynchronous clocking to capture
the actual address regardless of the type of access.
The PDT jumper provides support for the PDT reset line; pin 1 is
ground and pin 2 is the RESET* signal.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The probe adapter does not require scheduled or periodic maintenance.
To maintain good electrical contact, keep the probe adapter free of dirt,
dust, and contaminants. Also, ensure that any electrically conductive
contaminants are removed.
Dirt and dust can usually be removed with a soft brush. For more
extensive cleaning, use only a damp cloth. Abrasive cleaners and
organic solvents should never be used.

Service Information
CAUTION
The semiconductor devices contained on the probe adapter
are susceptible to static-discharge damage. To prevent
damage, service the probe adapter only in a static-free
environment.
If the probe adapter is connected to your system, grasp the
ground lug on the back of the DAS 9200 mainframe to
discharge your stored static electricity. If the probe adapter
is not connected, touch any of the ground pins (row of
square pins closest to the edge of the probe adapter circuit
board labeled GND) to discharge stored static electricity
from the probe adapter.
Always wear a grounding wrist strap, or similar device,
while servicing the instrument.
Exercise care when soldering on a multilayer circuit board.
Excessive heat can damage the through-hole plating or lift
a run or pad and damage the board beyond repair. Do not
apply heat for longer than three seconds. Do not apply
heat consecutively to adjacent leads. Allow a moment for
the board to cool between each operation.
If you must replace an electrical component on a circuit board, exercise
extreme caution while desoldering or soldering the new component.
Use a pencil-type soldering iron of less than 18 watts and an approved
desoldering tool. Ensure that the replacement is an equivalent part by
comparing the description as listed in the replaceable parts list.

REMOVING AND REPLACING PROBE PODLETS
Each 8-channel probe consists of 8 single-channel podlets ganged
together in a podlet holder. You may need to remove these podlets from
the 8-channel probe to use for alternate connections to Am29205
system signals.
Refer to the discussions on Alternate Microcontroller Connections in
Appendix B and Channel Assignments in this appendix for information
about which channels you can use to make alternate connections
between the DAS 9200 and system under test without disturbing the
channel connections required by support software.
You can also use these procedures to replace a defective clock probe or
a defective podlet from an 8-channel probe.
Removing Probe Podlets from the Interface Housing
Refer to Figure C-4 and the following procedure to remove a clock
probe or an 8-channel probe podlet from the interface housing.
