TLA700 Series Logic Analyzer Installation Manual

Basic Installation

Check the Shipment

This chapter describes all of the steps needed to install your Tektronix logic analyzer and its related accessories. It is written from the perspective that you purchased most of the items uninstalled and you intend to install all of the pieces. If you purchased a logic analyzer with modules already installed, you should still review this chapter and perform the steps that apply to your situation.

Check that you have received all of the parts of your logic analyzer that you ordered. Also check the following:

H That you have the correct power cords for your geographical area.

H That you have the correct probes and modules.

H 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 on each side, 2.54 cm (1 in) at the bottom, and 10.16 cm (4 in) at the back of the instrument to ensure proper cooling. Inadequate clearances can cause the instrument to overheat and shut down.

Expansion Mainframe Site

Considerations

You can use the TLA715 Portable Mainframe on a bench or on a cart in the normal position (on the bottom feet). You can also use the logic analyzer while it rests on the rear feet. If you use the instrument while it is resting on the rear feet, make sure that you properly route any cables connected to the rear of the instrument to avoid damaging them.

The TLA721 Benchtop and TLA7XM Expansion Mainframes are designed to operate on a bench or in a rackmount environment. If you need to stack more than two benchtop and expansion mainframes, install the mainframes in a rack. Please refer to the online help under Standard and Optional Accessories for rackmount kit part numbers.

WARNING. To avoid personal injury, never lift or move a benchtop or expansion mainframe by yourself. The size and weight of these mainframes requires two people to lift or move them.

Do not stack more then one expansion mainframe on top of a benchtop mainframe or another expansion mainframe. Always use a rackmount kit to ensure that the expansion mainframes are secure and will not fall.

Installing TLA7XM Expansion Mainframes

If your logic analyzer does not contain any expansion mainframes, skip this section. Observe the following guidelines when installing expansion mainframes:

CAUTION. Verify that all mainframes are powered off before continuing the installation procedure. If you are installing more than two expansion mainframes, always use a rackmount kit. Contact your local Tektronix representative for information on site considerations for multiple mainframes.

Install the Expansion

Module

If you have a benchtop mainframe, install the expansion module in any slot of the mainframe except 0 through 2; these slots are reserved for the benchtop controller module (refer to Figure 1 on page 3). If you have only one expansion mainframe, install the expansion module in slot 12 to keep the expansion cables out of your way.

If you are installing two expansion mainframes, consider installing the two expansion modules next to the benchtop controller module to maximize the number of open slots as shown in Figure 2 on page 4.

TLA700 Series Logic Analyzer Installation Manual

Basic Installation

If you have a TLA715 Portable Mainframe, install the expansion module in any slot. If you install one or two expansion mainframes, you can install the expansion module in slot 1 as shown in Figure 3 on page 4.

You can configure up to four expansion mainframes with the TLA715 Portable Mainframe and up to ten expansion mainframes with a TLA721 Benchtop Mainframe.

To install the expansion module complete the following steps:

1. If the expansion module is not already installed in slot 0 of the expansion mainframe, install it now.

CAUTION. To avoid damaging the chassis, do not use the retaining screws to seat the expansion module. These screws are intended for securing the module and reinforcing the grounding.

2. Seat the expansion module by pushing it into place.

3. Use a screwdriver to tighten the retaining screws (maximum of 2.5 in-lbs).

4. Place the EXPANSION 1 label in the outlined area on the upper right side of the expansion mainframe.

TLA700 Series Logic Analyzer Installation Manual

Basic Installation

When you install two expansion mainframes, software determines which chassis is expansion 1 and which is expansion 2 by the order in which you install the expansion modules in the TLA721 Benchtop Mainframe. The expansion module in the lower numbered slot will be expansion 1, and the expansion module in the higher numbered slot will be expansion 2.

5. For the setup in Figure 2 or Figure 3, place the EXPANSION 1 label in the outlined area on the upper right side of the expansion mainframe to the left of the TLA721 Benchtop Mainframe or TLA715 Portable Mainframe. Place the EXPANSION 2 label in the outlined area on the upper right side of the expansion mainframe to the right of the TLA721 Benchtop Mainframe or TLA715 Portable Mainframe.

Install the Expansion

Cables

To connect the three cables from the expansion modules together, complete the following steps:

1. Examine the gray expansion cable to determine if the connectors have labels. If the connectors are not labeled, apply the C labels to each connector.

2. Connect one end of the gray expansion cable to connector C of the expansion module on the expansion mainframe side. Connect the other end of the gray expansion cable to connector C of the expansion module on the TLA721 Benchtop Mainframe or TLA715 Portable Mainframe side.

3. Fasten the expansion cable connector to the expansion module by tightening the two hold-down screws.

4. Examine the two blue expansion cables to determine if the connectors are labeled A and B.

a. If the cables are labeled A and B, select the B cable and proceed to

step 5.

b. If the cables are not labeled, select either blue expansion cable and label

each connector with the B label. Select the other cable and apply the A labels to each connector.

5. Connect one end of the blue expansion cable to connector B of the expansion module on the expansion mainframe side. Connect the other end of the blue expansion cable to connector B of the expansion module on the TLA721 Benchtop Mainframe or TLA715 Portable Mainframe side.

6. Fasten the expansion cable connector to the expansion module by tightening the two hold-down screws.

7. Connect one end of the blue expansion cable to connector A of the expansion module on the expansion mainframe side. Connect the other end of the blue expansion cable to connector A of the expansion module on the TLA721 Benchtop Mainframe or TLA715 Portable Mainframe side.

Installing TLA700 Modules

This section describes how to install modules in your TLA700 mainframe.

CAUTION. To avoid damaging the instrument, do not install or remove any modules while the instrument is powered on. Always power down the instrument before installing or removing modules.

Basic Installation

Logical Address Switches

Every module in the instrument must have a unique logical address; no two modules can have the same address. Use the two rotary switches on the rear panel of the modules to select the logical address (see Figure 5).

The factory default switch setting is FF (Dynamic Auto Configuration). With dynamic logical address auto configuration, the instrument automatically sets the address to an unused value.

Normally, you would not want to change the default settings. However, you can set the address to a fixed static logical address value. You can select any static addresses between 01 and FE hexadecimal (1 to 254 decimal). If you set the logical address switches to any other setting than FF, you must verify that no two modules (or devices) share the same address.

NOTE. Do not set any module to logical address 00. Logical address 00 is reserved exclusively for the controller.
