Restoring and Installing Software

Most of the software comes factory-installed when you receive your logic analyzer. Refer to this section if you need to reinstall the operating system and the TLA appli application software and operating system. This section also provides information on installing related logic analyzer software on a PC for remote operation or for ofﬂine applications.

NOTE. If you install or reinstall software on a remote PC, make sure that the

software version matches that of the main application on the logic analyzer.

Restoring the Instrument Operating System

You can restore the instrument operating system from either a ﬁle on the instrument hard disk drive or from the set of instrument restore discs. (See page 8, Creating Operating System Restore Discs.) The preferred restore method is to use the hard disk restore ﬁle.

Self Calibration

Protect th waterproof.

Do not sto direct sunlight for long periods of time.

CAUTION. To avoid damage to the instrument, do not expose it to sprays, liquids,

or solvents.

Use the Self Calibration property page to run self calibration procedures for the instrument. You will w ant to run these procedures after repair. At a minimum, run these procedures once a year.

Perform self-calibration after a 30 minute warm up.

Complete the following steps to run the self-calibration procedure:

1. From the System menu and select Calibration and Diagnostics.

2. Click the Self Calibration tab.

3. Select the

e instrument from adverse weather conditions. The instrument is not

re or leave the instrument where the LCD display will be exposed to

instrument to calibrate.

4. Click the Run button.

Preventive Maintenance

Once a year the electrical performance should be checked and the instrument accurac aqualiﬁed service technician using the procedures outlined in the appropriate service manual for the Tektronix Logic Analyzer product.

Preventive maintenance mainly consists of periodic cleaning. Periodic cleaning reduces instrument breakdown and increases reliability. Clean the instrument as needed, based on the operating environment. Dirty conditions may require more frequent cleaning than computer room conditions.

The LCD ﬂat pane cleaning.

CAUTION. Improper cleaning agents or methods can damage the ﬂat panel

display.

Do not use abrasive cleaners or commercial glass cleaners to clean the display surface.

Do not spray liquids directly on the display surface.

Do not scrub the display with excessive force.

Avoid getting moisture inside the instrument while cleaning the display; use only enough solution to dampen the wipe.

Clean the ﬂat panel display surface by gently rubbing the display with a cleanroom wipe (such as Wypall Medium Duty Wipes, #05701, available from Kimberly-Clark Corporation).

If the display is very dirty, moisten the wipe with distilled water or a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution and gently rub the display surface. Avoid using excess force or you may damage the plastic display surface.

Exterior Surfaces

In Case of Problems

Clean the exterior surfaces with a dry, lint-free cloth or a soft-bristle brush. If dirt remains, use a cloth or swab dampened with a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution. A swab is useful for cleaning in narrow spaces around the controls and connectors. Do not use abrasive compounds on any part of the instrument.

CAUTION. To avoid damaging the instrument, follow these precautions:

Avoid getting moisture inside the instrument during external cleaning and use only enough solution to dampen the cloth or swab.

Do not wash the front-panel On/Standby switch. Cover the switch while washing the instrument.

Use only deionized water when cleaning. Use a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution as a cleanser and rinse with deionized water.

Do not use chemical cleaning agents; they may damage the instrument. Avoid cleaning agents that contain benzene, toluene, xylene, acetone, or similar solvents.

This section provides information to help you address problems you may encounter while installing and using your logic analyzer.

Diagnostics

The logic analy instrument. You can view the results of the diagnostics by selecting Calibration and Diagnostics from the System menu. You can run more detailed diagnostics by selecting Extended diagnostics. Here you can run all tests, loop on one or more tests, or loop on a test until a failure occurs.

The following diagnostic tools are available with your logic analyzer:

Power-On Diagnostics. Power-on diagnostics run when you turn on the logic analyzer, diagnostic failures occur during turn on, the Calibration and Diagnostics property page appears.

Extended Diagnostics. Extended diagnostics test the logic analyzer more thoroughly than the power-on diagnostics. You can use the extended diagnostics to isola

Before running the extended diagnostics, disconnect any attached probes.

instrument and accessible from the Windows Start menu. This diagnostic software may vary depending on your instrument. Use the online help that comes with the diagnostic software or check with your local Tektronix representative for additional information on troubleshooting instrument problems.

Your logic analyzer comes with most software installed. Before running any of the diagnostics, check the online release notes to verify that the logic analyzer software is compatible with the module ﬁrmware.

Many software problems can be due to corrupted or missing software ﬁles. In most cases the easiest way to solve software problems is to reinstall the software and follow the on-screen instructions. (See page 13, Restoring and Installing Software.)

If you suspect problems with the application software, contact your local Tektronix representative.

If you are certain that you have installed the logic analyzer correctly, run the extended diagnostics (located under the System menu) to identify any problems. If your logic analyzer powers on so that you have access to the desktop, run any other diagnostic software on your instrument to identify possible problems.

igher of the TLA application software allows you to connect your instrument to a network where you can control the instrument from a PC. Verify that the PC and the logic analyzer are connected to the network. The TLA application software must be installed on the PC and the logic analyzer. The TLA server must be running on the logic analyzer.

Complete the following steps to start the TLA server:

1. On the logic analyzer, click Start > Programs > Tektronix Logic Analyzer >

TLA Server. An icon with a red circle appears in the toolbar.

2. Right-click the TLA Server icon and select Start TLA Server.Theredcircle
