l Analyzer Module Controls and Connectors
This section briefly describes the logic protocol analyzer controls and connectors.
Front Panel
The front panel provides indicators for checking the status of the logic protocol
analyzer. It includes probe connectors, two probe power connectors, and four
connectors for a reference clock. The TLA7S16 has four probe connectors. (See
Figure 2 on page 3.) The TLA7S08 has two probe connectors. A description of
the indica
tors and connectors is provided in the following table. (See Table 1.)
The functions of the indicators and connectors are the same for both modules
except where noted.

Four connectors for the TLA7S16 module (two for the TLA7S08 module) provide the
probe connections for the module. Each connector is labeled with a letter A, B , C, or D
for the TLA7S16 module (A or B for the TLA7S08 module). The letters correspond to
the graphic display in the Setup window.
The Reference Clock Output SMA connectors (labeled + and – ) provide a means of
passing the differential clock signal from the Reference Clock Input connectors to another
external module.
Two SMA connectors (labeled + and – ) provide differential clock input connections from
the SUT or from another module.

Installing the Tektronix Logic Protocol Analyzer Module
This manual is written assuming that your logic analyzer mainframe is already
installed properly. However, a high-level module installation overview is
provided. If you need additional help installing your mainframe, refer to the
TLA7000 Series Logic Analyzers Installation Manual.
CAUTION. To avoid damaging the mainframe, do not install or remove any
modules while the mainframe is powered on. Always power off the instrument
before installing or removing modules.
Cover any empty module slots with a blank cover (Tektronix part number,
333-4206-xx).

Handling the Probe Heads
Handle the probe heads with care. Keep the following points in mind:
NOTE. Be careful when handling the probe heads while the midbus probe is
connected to a powered module. The probe head may become warm to the touch;
the probe is operating normally.
CAUTION. Static discharge can damage the probe heads. Always wear a
grounded antistatic wrist strap whenever handling the probe heads. Also verify
that anything to which the probe heads are connected do not carry a static charge.
Handle the probe heads by the outer casing. Do not touch the contacts in the
center with fingers, tools, wipes, or any other devices.
Do not expose the connector to liquids or dry chemicals.
When connecting the probes, be careful not to touch the probe head contacts
to any other surfaces or components on your circuit board.
