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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
