Figure 25: Front panel upgrade label location

Connect the Instrument TekLink is a mainframe real-time communication system that coordinates trigger
Through TekLink signals, input/output signals, and time references between mainframes.
TekLink uses a 2-meter cable (included with this kit) to connect between two
TLA7000 Series logic analyzers. If you want to connect more than three benchtop
mainframes together, you need a TekLink TL708EX Hub and more TekLink
cables.
For more information on connecting TekLink components, refer to the TLA7000
Series Logic Analyzer Installation Manual.

Preset IP Addresses You may need to change the IP address of the benchtop mainframe, depending
on the requirements of the network that it will be connected to. A preset list of
recommended IP addresses is programmed into the TLA7016 Interface Module.
For information about entering other IP addresses, refer to the TLA7000 Series
Logic Analyzer Installation Manual.
To cycle through the list of preset IP addresses, do the following:
1. Press and hold the recessed RESET button on the TLA7016 Interface Module.
(See Figure 26.) The front-panel display cycles every 2-3 seconds to the
next preset IP address (See Table 4.).

Installing the Bracket Kit


If you are using your benchtop logic analyzer outside of a rackmount environment,
you can use the bracket kit to mount the TLA7PC1 controller, GbE switch, and
TL708EX Hub together with your benchtop mainframe.
Left and right-side brackets and mounting screws are included in the kit. (See
Figure 27.) Use the following procedure.

TLA7KUP Logic Analyzer Field Upgrade Kit 27


TLA7KUP Option 19: TLA700 Series Benchtop Mainframe Upgrade

1. Place the components you want to mount on top of the logic analyzer, putting
the heaviest units lowest in the stack.
2. Align one of the brackets to the frame of the logic analyzer so that the bracket
reaches all of the components, but does not extend above the top unit.
3. Fasten the bracket to the logic analyzer with one of the 8-32, P2 Pozidriv
screws preinstalled on the bracket.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the bracket on the other side of the logic analyzer.
5. If necessary, relocate the instrument brackets on the components you are
mounting. For example, the brackets on the TL708EX Hub come mounted to
the back of the unit, with installation instructions on the bottom of the unit.
6. Using the 10-32, P2 Pozidriv screws preinstalled on the brackets, fasten the
components to the brackets.

TLA7KUP Option 19: TLA700 Series Benchtop Mainframe Upgrade

Troubleshooting Tips If you cannot establish a communication link between the controller and the
mainframe, do the following:
1. Bring up the DOS window on the controller and enter ipconfig.
The address that returns should be 169.254.x.x with a subnet mask of
255.255.0.0 (the default IP address of the controller).
2. If the above address is not returned, enter ipconfig release and then ipconfig
renew.
3. Enter ping 169.254.0.19 (the factory-set IP address of the mainframe). See
the following figure for an example of the expected reply from the mainframe.

Figure 28: Seeking a reply from the mainframe


4. If you get a reply using the ping command, but cannot see the mainframe in
the configuration dialog box, check to see if a firewall is enabled.

Attach the Upgrade Kit After completing all of the previous steps, you need to install the upgrade kit label
Label to the Instrument on the instrument to indicate that the kit is installed. Locate the big label on the
side of the TLA7016 Interface Module and attach the TLA7KUP kit label as
shown. (See Figure 45.)

NOTE. If there already is an upgrade kit label installed, install the new label just
above or below the old one.

Supply 1. Reinstall the power supply handle.
2. Slide the power supply into the mainframe.
3. Push the power supply handle in firmly to ensure that the connectors are
completely seated into the back plane connectors.
4. Reinstall the blower assembly, making sure that the slot at the bottom of the
blower assembly fits to the lip on the mainframe, and the fan cable protrudes
through the fan cable opening in the blower assembly shroud.

Set the Jumpers on the


Enhanced Monitor Card

CAUTION. Do not pull on the fan cable to disconnect the fan cable connector.
Pulling on the fan cable can damage the connector or the wires. To remove the
fan cable connector, disengage the locking connector on the fan cable connector
before removing the fan cable.

1. Note whether there is a 3-inch adapter cable on the end of the fan cable. (See
Figure 34.) The cable configuration will be used to determine the proper
jumper settings in step 4.

4. Note the pair of jumpers at the top of the Enhanced Monitor Card. (See
Figure 36.) Also note the circuit board number label near the bottom of the
Enhanced Monitor Card.
If your fan has an adapter cable, insert both jumpers a and b.
If your fan does not have an adapter cable and the circuit board number
starts with 679-3982, remove both jumpers a and b.
If the circuit board number is 679-6146, there should not be an adaptor
cable. Insert both jumpers a and b.

NOTE. Correct jumper configuration is important for the new firmware to


properly control the fan and to monitor the power supplies.

Figure 36: Set the jumpers on the Enhanced Monitor Card


5. At the back of the Enhanced Monitor Card, connect a jumper (with a pull-tab)
on the bottom two flash programming pins. (See Figure 37.)
6. If there are three pins above the flash programming pins, verify that there is
another jumper on the upper two pins.

Upgrade Instruction Overview


NOTE. Third-party software applications are included to use with your logic
analyzer. These applications may include software license agreements. Be sure
to abide by those license agreements.

TLA7KUP Logic Analyzer Field Upgrade Kit 57


TLA7KUP Option 46: TLA Application Software Upgrade

While performing the upgrade procedures, keep the following items in mind:
Throughout this procedure you will see the term "log on as Administrator."
The instrument is set up to automatically log on as Administrator (with no
password) so you may not see the log on prompt. If the network setups have
been changed on your instrument, make sure that you log on as Administrator
or as a user who has administrator privileges. Failure to do so can prevent the
software upgrade from completing successfully.
After logging on as administrator, quit any applications.
If your instrument does not display the file extensions, you need to change
your folder options to display the file extensions. (From the Control Panel,
double-click Folder Options, select the View tab, and then deselect the "Hide
file extensions for known file types" selection.)
Use the Microsoft Windows Add or Remove Programs Control Panel utility
to remove existing software.
You may be asked to restart the instrument after you install each software
package. If you do not restart the instrument when prompted, your software
may not install properly and can cause unpredictable behavior.
If the instrument does not restart normally, press and hold the On/Standby
button for five or six seconds to force a shutdown.

Update the Software


NOTE. You may want to compare the software version listed under Software
Compatibility in the release notes against the software on your instrument. If the
software versions do not match, remove the old software using the Microsoft
Windows Add or Remove Programs utility and then install the new software from
the TLA Application CD.
When you reinstall the CheckIt Utilities software, you will be prompted for a
serial number; use U7-999999.
Follow the instructions to install the NI-GPIB software to use with iView. (See
page 65, Install the NI-GPIB Software.)

The TLA Application software uses a wizard to remove older software and install
the new software for your instrument.
