Basic Installation
This chapter describes all of the steps needed to install your Tektronix logic
analyzer and its related accessories.
Check the Shipping List
Check that you have received all of the parts of your logic analyzer using the
shipping list. Also check the following:
That you have the correct power cords for your geographical area.
That you have backup copies of the installed software. Store the backup
software in a safe location where you can easily retrieve the software for
maintenance purposes.
That you have all the standard and optional accessories that you ordered.
Fill out and return the customer registration card that is packaged with this manual.
Environmental Considerations
Read this section before installing the logic analyzer. This section describes
site considerations, power requirements, and ground connections for your logic
analyzer.
CAUTION. Allow a 5.1 cm (2 in) clearance around the top, back, and sides of
the inst
instrument to overheat and shut down.

For additional information o n the individual probes, refer to the instructions that
accompanied your probes.
CAUTION.
When attaching the probe to the logic analyzer, you must use care to
tighten probe screws evenly until they are snug. First slightly tighten screws, then
snug each screw to 4 in-lbs (max). Undertightening the probe screws can result in
intermittent performance. Over tightening can result in stripped screws.
Connect the logic analyzer probes and the optional retaining brackets as shown.

these procedures once a year.
Perform self-calibration after a 30 minute warm up.
Complete the following steps to run the self-calibration procedure:

This section provides information to help y ou address problems you may
encounter while installing and using your logic analyzer.
The logic analyzer runs power-on diagnostics every time you power on the
instrument. You can view the results of the diagnostics by selecting Calibration

The following diagnostic tools are available with your logic a nalyzer:
Power-On Diagnostics. Power-on diagnostics run when you turn on the logic
analyzer, or when you start the TLA or the pattern generator application. If any
diagnostic failures occur during turn on, the Calibration and Diagnostics property
page appears.
Extended D iagnostics. Extended diagnostics test the logic analyzer more
thoroughly than the power-on diagnostics. You can use the extended diagnostics
to isolate problems to an individual module.
Before running the extended diagnostics, disconnect any attached probes.
TLA Mainframe Diagnostics. The TLA mainframe diagnostics program is a
stand-alone application. These diagnostics check the operation of the mainframe
beyond the basic PC circuitry. These diagnostics also check the front-panel knobs
of the instrument.
Other Diagnostic Software. Other diagnostic software may be installed on your
instrument and accessible from the Windows Start menu. This diagnostic software
may vary depending on your instrument. Use the online help that comes with

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.
Version 5.0 or higher of the TLA application software allows you to connect
your instrument to a network where you can control the instrument from a PC.
