Welcome to Administering Agilent 3070 Systems (MS
Windows NT and 2000) This manual contains
information for administering 3070 board test systems
running on MS Windows 2000 Professional and NT
operating systems.
Use this manual as a guide for performing general 3070
system administration tasks. This manual does not
describe general NT system administration.

Who Should Use This Manual

This manual is intended for anyone who performs
system administration for 3070 MS Windows systems.
To perform the tasks described in this manual, you must
have Administrator log in privileges on the systems you
administer.

Summary of System
Administration
Tasks

How Many Administrators are Necessary?

Responsibilities

Ideally, a system should have one system administrator

and a backup. It could be necessary to have one system
administrator per shift.

The system administrators responsibilities include

managing system installation, setup, configuration,
networking, and security.

Avoid maintenance conflicts by keeping as few system

administrators as necessary.

Be prepared to allow time for the training required to

administer 3070 systems. Without adequate training, a
system administrator has both the potential to solve
problems and to make a system inoperable!

Required Knowledge
Day-to-day tasks are required to keep a system running
efficiently. Depending on the number of 3070 systems
and the level of support needed, system administration
can be either a part- or full-time job.
A 3070 system administrator should acquire basic
knowledge of:

Agilent Technologies 20012003

the 3070 system hardware.

the Agilent3070 directory structure and file

system.

Administration Tasks
The system administrator routinely performs the
following tasks:

Installs and configures computer systems.

Installs, configures, and connects computers to a

network.

Manages users and user accounts.

Manages the file system and access permissions.

the 3070 program software.

Performs incremental and full system backups.

the MS Windows operating system.

the Windows directory structure and file system.

Creates system recovery tapes (after installing

software packages or changing the systems
configuration).

utilities for performing administration tasks, such

as System Tools, Administrative Tools, and
Backup and Recovery Tools.

Recovers files from backups.

Installs and manages peripheral devices.

CAUTION

NO NOT edit any files in these directories; they are not customer-editable.
Advantages of a LAN
Connecting 3070 systems together on a common LAN
allows users to share peripherals and access files
remotely. Programmers can edit testplans remotely from
their local system without physically transporting the
data. Without networking, a testplan file might have to
be transferred via tape, then loaded onto the local
system for editing.
Centralized storage of applications, testplans, and board
data can reduce software maintenance costs and can
maximize the integrity of the 3070 software. It can also
simplify the process of revision and backup control.

3070 Program Software

Files and Directories
3070 systems come with directories, files, and utilities
that are not a part of the MS Windows operating
system.
Test Programming Languages
The 3070 supports several test programming languages
to develop board tests, including:

Board Test BASIC (BT-BASIC) is a set of

fundamental BASIC statements with many
1-5

Chapter 1: Introduction

additional test-oriented statements. BT-BASIC

testplans are used to control and manipulate the
board test system and to run tests on the circuit
boards.

Analog Test Language (ATL) is a set of special

statements used to make in-circuit measurements
on analog devices.

Vector Control Language (VCL) is a set of

statements used to write tests for individual digital
devices (in-circuit testing).

Agilent Technologies 20012003

Quality Reporting Software

The 3070 program software includes a datalogging
feature and Pushbutton Q-STATS Quality Management
Software for reporting board test results.
Datalogging automatically gathers test data on circuit
boards, including board identification, failing
component information, and measurement data on
selected components. The logged information is stored
in files used by Pushbutton Q-STATS, that generates
informative reports which can be used to analyze board
production processes.

Preparing to Set Up
a System

Setting up a system involves establishing a computer

name, user account, and both Administrator and user
passwords. Use the Windows 2000 Setup Wizard to set
up your system.
If you plan to connect your computer to a network, you
must configure the appropriate Local Area Connections
in Network and Dial-up Connections before connecting
to your network.
After configuring Network and Dial-up Connections,
use the Network Identification Wizard and follow the
on-screen instructions to ensure that your system is
recognized by your network.
Use this chapter to gather configuration information
from the network administrator. Then, use this
information to complete the tasks in the Setup and
Network Identification Wizards.
NOTE
If you have a new test system that includes a
testhead, an Agilent customer engineer (CE) or
system engineer (SE) should be involved in the
set-up.

License Activation

Codeword and License Management

Agilent will begin issuing license keys to replace the
current codeword scheme for new 3070 features starting
with software release 05.20p. At present, only new
features will require the license key. This is the first step
in a process that will eventually replace all Agilent 3070
codewords with license keys in future software releases.

Required Tools and Materials

Before you contact Agilent to activate your software
license key, you will need the following:

Agilent 3070 software revision 05.20p or newer,

entitlement certificate which contains the order
number and certificate number,
hardware (MAC) address of the target controller
or test development station which will utilize the
software activation key,
Agilent serial number from your controller (if the
controller was not supplied by Agilent, use the
controller manufacturer's serial number),
internet connection*.

You will receive an Entitlement Certificate with a new

system or when new features are purchased. You will
need the information on the Entitlement Certificate to

redeem your license activation key on upgrades, new

features, or for recovery.
NOTE
New systems shipped from the factory will have
the software license keys installed and activated.
The Software Entitlement Certificate evidences Agilent
Technologies' grant of the right to use the software
products listed on the certificate. Please refer to your
Software License and Software License Redemption
Certificate for information regarding Agilents Software
Terms and Conditions of Use.
Each license redeemed from this certificate authorizes
the use of the software product on one system controller

Planning a Backup
Strategy

Data is sometimes lost when a user accidentally deletes

or overwrites a file, or misuses a command. Also, a
power failure or hard disk crash can result in lost or
corrupted data. Data can be restored if you use effective
backup procedures.
One of the most important responsibilities of the system
administrator is to implement an effective backup
strategy. The backup strategy you use to protect from
data loss depends on a number of variables:

2 Create a full system backup once each week.

NOTE
You can recover individual files from a full or
partial backup tape.

How frequently is the system used?

How often does the data change?

For instructions, see Making a Full Backup Tape on

page 4-9.

How critical is it that files can be restored

quickly?

3 Create an incremental backup once each day.

One typical three-tiered backup strategy follows:

1 Make a new set of boot Recovery Diskettes for
booting your system periodically, as magnetic
media can deteriorate. Also, create a new set
every time you:

Agilent Technologies 20012003

For instructions, see Creating Boot Recovery

Diskettes on page 4-6.

install new software or update existing software or

operating system.

add or remove users.

change logical volumes in any way.

change the Windows Administrator password.

Administering Agilent 3070 Systems (MS Windows NT and 2000)

Incremental backups are faster to create than full

backups, and they require less backup media.
However, recovering a system may require several
backup tapes: the full backup, in addition to multiple
incremental backups.

Disaster Recovery
for an Industrial PC
Controller

This information applies to 3070 systems with Industrial

PC (IPC) controllers with DVD drives.

Backup vs. Disaster Recovery

Backup is the copying of files (board directories) to a
removable media or network. Disaster recovery is the
process of restoring the system to operational readiness
after a major catastrophe like a hard disk failure.
For backup you can use File Explorer for copying to a
network device, or HP RECORD NOW to copy the files
to a removable media like CD or DVD. These files can
then be copied back to the hard drive as needed.

This software is provided as a third-party software

solution. Agilent is not responsible for support of this
product. Refer to the support information in the
documentation accompanying the PowerQuest product.
IN NO EVENT WILL AGILENT OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE
LIABLE FOR LOSS OF DATA OR FOR DIRECT,
SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL
(INCLUDING LOST PROFIT OR DATA), OR OTHER
DAMAGE WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT,

Disaster Recovery Solution

Provided for your 3070 system, is a separate software
package called PowerQuest Drive Image. This software
allows you to:

Backup without leaving Windows

Backup to the DVD drive

Restore your entire system or individual files

Schedule automatic backups

Agilent recommends that you install this software and

Making a Full
Backup Tape

Overview
Your 3070 system includes an HP SureStore DAT 24
tape device and TapeWare software for performing data
backups. This section describes how to perform full data
backups using the TapeWare Wizard and a system
compatible DDS tape drive.
A full backup tape can be used to recover your operating
system, application software, and data files. An
effective disaster recovery policy involves creating full
backup tapes on a regular basis.

Prerequisites
Before performing data backups, determine:

the device file of the storage device on which to

create your backup.

the disk drives, folders, and files to backup.

when the backup should occur.

the type of backup. Options include:

Differential - backup only files that have

changed since the last Full backup.
Snapshot - backup all selected drives, folders,
and files without updating archive flags.

Required Tools and Materials

To perform the backup procedures described in this
section, you need:

TapeWare software.

An HP SureStore DAT 24 tape drive or system

compatible tape device.

A DDS tape with enough capacity to perform a

full backup. 24 Gb or more is recommended.

Full - backup all selected drives, folders, and

files.
Incremental - backup only files that have
changed since the last backup of any type: Full,
Incremental, Differential, or Snapshot.

About User Accounts

Windows 2000 requires a valid user account to log on to
a local computer system. A user account consists of a
unique user name and password. The first time you start
your computer, you must establish a user account using
the Setup Wizard. User accounts can be added as
needed.
On a client-server network, there are two types of user
accounts: domain accounts and local accounts.

Agilent Technologies 20012003

Administering Agilent 3070 Systems (MS Windows NT and 2000)

Domain accounts provide access to the network

and its resources, based on defined user
permissions.

Local accounts are valid only on a local computer

system.

Group Accounts
Group accounts can be used to assign user rights and
permissions to many users. You can create groups and
assign users to one or more groups. Members of a group
have all rights and permissions assigned to the group.

Chapter 5: Adminstration Tasks

User Rights
User rights define the actions a user can perform on a
computer. Rights can be assigned to both users and
groups. By carefully planning and assigning user and
group rights, you can provide secure access to files.

Using the 3070 User Accounts Across a Domain

If you are logging into the 3070 using a domain user
account, there are no differences EXCEPT if you are
logging in as the operator. Before anyone can use the
operator account across a domain successfully, you
must copy the operator policy file to the Primary
Domain Controller (PDC). To do so:

Datalogging

This section describes several datalogging tasks.

Datalogging is described in Information Management,
Chapter 2; see Structure of the Datalogging Files.
Occasionally, the datalogging process may require your
attention. If a 3070 system fails to log data, do the
following:

Verify that the translogd process, which

automatically transfers log data from source
queues to destination queues, is running. To do
this, use the Processes tab in the Windows Task
Manager. If datalogging files are present in the
source queues, translogd transfers them to the
destination queues for processing by quality
management software.

CAUTION

You must never delete the

$AGILENT3070_ROOT/qm/logdata/

Unless you have modified this file, it should be

exactly like the original in the directory
$AGILENT3070_ROOT/standard.

Use an ASCII editor, such as Notepad or Wordpad

to examine the translogd error file to see if any
error messages were logged there. The error file
is:

tld.log

error file.

A repetitive error will cause the

$AGILENT3070_ROOT/qm/logdata/tld.log

Verify that the tld.conf configuration file used

by translogd is present and is not corrupt.
Locate the file in the directory:

After you have corrected a datalogging problem,

you can delete the error messages, but do not
delete the file.

error file to grow without bounds. If the size of the

file exceeds 2.5 Megabytes, the following
message will be printed on a DOS window which
will pop up:
WARNING -- TRANSLOGD IS
EXPERIENCING ERRORS. LOG FILE IS

LOG FILE SIZE TOO LARGE
(LIMIT=<number> SIZE=<number>)
PLEASE EXAMINE (THEN TRUNCATE) THIS
FILE!
You may need to clear out the directories where
datalogging information is stored (the board
subdirectories beneath the testerq directory or
the log data files beneath the pbqmq directory).
Under normal circumstances, these files are
removed automatically once they have been
processed.

The .hp3070 File

The system first searches the current working directory

for a .hp3070 file. If one is not found, the users home
directory is searched. This method allows a .hp3070
file for each board.
The .hp3070 file can affect system behavior in many
ways.

.BackupLevel

The value of this option sets the global backup style for this user and determines whether the system compilers keep an
unchanged copy (a backup) of files before modifying them, and how the backup is stored. The backup style can be:
none No file backup is made.
numbered Multiple backups are made as files change. To identify a numbered backup file, its name has a period, a
tilde (~), and a unique number from 1 to 9 appended to its name; for example, file.1~. Number 1 is the most recent
backup, and number 9 is the oldest. When more than 9 backups occur, the oldest backup file in the set is discarded and
those remaining are renumbered.
unnumbered A single backup is made as files change. Each new backup file overwrites the contents of the previous
backup file. To identify an unnumbered backup file, a tilde (~) is appended to its name; for example, file~. For
example, .BackupLevel: unnumbered
Besides the global value for backup style, you can individually specify a backup style for some of the software modules in
your system. For example, Mpa.BackupLevel: numbered
overrides the global default and sets the backup style for the pin assignment software to numbered.

Debug.Source

The value of this option determines whether the Agilent Pushbutton Debug environment is automatically invoked when a
debug statement is executed on the BT-BASIC command line. The value of this option can be:
Debug.Source: no Use the standard debug environment by default.
Debug.Source: yes Use the Agilent Pushbutton Debug environment by default.
For more information, see Test Methods: Digital.

FXT.WIRECOLORS

This option lets you specify user-defined wire colors for fixturing. The values following this variable are the colors that are
requested in fixture building reports. This lets you customize wiring reports so they ask for colors (in any language)
matching the colors of the wires being used.
The first color is used for all non-ground wiring (positive and negative) and should be the local word for red. The second
color is used for all ground wiring and should be the local word for black. The remaining colors are used in sequence, one
per node. The sequence of colors repeat after the last color has been used. For example, FXT.WIRECOLORS: "red
black blue green yellow aqua white"

In the example, red is used for all non-ground wires, and black is used for all ground wires. The color of wires specified
for wiring nodes cycle through the list from blue to white. After white has been used, the sequence starts over with
blue.
For more information, see Test and Fixture Development.
Operator.ForceWidgets

This option lets you specify whether the operator keypad appears on the screen for operator logins. Specify Yes to have
the keypad automatically appear, or No to have it not appear. For example,
Operator.ForceWidgets: Yes

Operator.Footswitch

This option lets you specify whether the foot switch on the Agilent 3070 is enabled. Specify Yes to have the foot switch
enabled, or No to have it disabled. For example, Operator.footswitch: Yes
The majority of the .hp3070 file contains definitions for
the operator keypad, which are invoked by an operator
statement if the Operator.ForceWidgets option is set
to Yes (see Syntax Reference). When a set of labels is
specified in the operator statement for example,
operator waitforstart invokes the set of labels and
functions defined as waitforstart that set of label
definitions becomes active. The boxes in the operator
keypad are labeled with those definitions, and selecting
a box (with the mouse or the touchscreen) invokes the
function associated with the label in that box.
If no label specifier is included in an operator
statement, the default label definition is determined by
the value of either of two variables in this file. The
Operator.Default variable sets the default for a user
who is not using a board handler with the system, and
the Operator.ABH_Default variable sets the default for
a user who is. The values of both of these variables are
typically defined as standard.

Agilent Technologies 20012002

Administering Agilent 3070 Systems (MS Windows NT and 2000)

The label and function definitions are arranged into

groups that each contain three specifications:

A physical description of the operator keypad,

including the X and Y coordinates and how many
boxes should appear in the keypad.
What label (text) should appear in each box.
Labels can contain any combination of upper or
lowercase letters and are treated as lowercase
when invoked in an operator statement.
Which function is invoked by selecting a
particular box. Function names are case-sensitive.

For example, standard, which is the default definition

for the operator keypad, might look like the following:
Standard.Boxes:
Standard.X:
Standard.Y:
Standard.Columns:

8

Introduction

A network is a collection of computers that

communicate with each other using a set of agreed upon
protocols.

3070 Networking Facilities

3070s contain networking software for:

LANs (local area networks).

Internet services.

File sharing.

Additional facilities include software to enable:

remote log ons.

file transfers.

remote execution.

network printer servers.

a full range of Internet services.

To Configure Networking
The first time a 3070 is booted, system configuration
information will need to entered. This includes
networking information. See Chapter 3, Setting Up
and Configuring New Systems for the procedure.

Addresses

This section contains:

3070 System IP Addresses, 7-3

Implications for Custom Applications, 7-3

All 3070 MS Windows systems are configured with

Agilent IP addresses in the 10.3.112.XX series.
To avoid network conflicts, including the inability to
boot a testhead, all 3070 systems on the same network
must share the same IP address series.

3070 System IP Addresses

The following Agilent board test systems have IP
addresses in the 10.3.112.XX series:

3070 MS Windows systems.

3070 UNIX systems shipped with B.03.80

software.

3070 UNIX systems updated or ignited with

B.03.80 software.

Because of the Hewlett-Packard / Agilent Technologies

split, 3070 Board Test systems are no longer shipped
with LAN IP addresses in the 15.3.112.XX series.
This should not cause any networking problems because
the systems are configured to use local hosts for
testhead IP address resolution.

Agilent Technologies 20012002

Administering Agilent 3070 Systems (MS Windows NT and 2000)

Using a Nameserver for Existing Systems

If you are using a nameserver for name resolution, we
recommend, but do not require, that all IP addresses
match. This means they should all use the 10.3.112.XX
IP address convention.
NOTE
Only 3070 IP addresses in the 10.3.112.XX
format are supported by Agilent.

Implications for Custom Applications

If there are any custom applications that are hard-coded
to look for a 15.3.112.XX address, they must be modified to look for a 10.3.112.XX address.
NOTE
If you have existing devices on your public LAN
using addresses in the 10.3.112.XX range or if
you experience conflicts, contact your Agilent

Introduction
Local Area Connection 2 is the public LAN interface
used for connecting to your site network. This LAN
interface can be connected to your network with an
RJ45 cable that is compatible with 10Base-T or
100Base-T.
A 3070 MS Windows system includes an RJ45 LAN
cable located at the base of the controller. Figure 7-2
shows the location of the LAN cable and coupler on the
back of a 3070 MS Windows controller. Use this cable
to connect to your site network.

Bridges, Routers,
and Gateways

Bridges, routers, and gateways are used to connect

multiple segments of a network into a unified, larger
network.
Typically, you will not have to worry about these
devices. If installing systems onto an existing network,
you may have to configure the 3070 to take advantage
of the facilities that your network provides.

Clients and Servers

Network
A network is a group of computers that are connected
and used for sharing resources such as files, software,
and peripheral devices.

Hosts and Nodes

Each computer or device on the network is host (also
known as a node). A host can be a client, server, or both.
In most cases, each host functions as both a client and a
server.

Client
A client is a computer or program that requests the
services of another computer or program.

Server

services are called clients and are considered to be part

of the domain.

The MS Windows Controller as Server

The terms client and server relate to communication
from the computers point of view. An example of this is
the use of a personal computer (MS Windows) as an
X-Terminal to communicate with an 3070 controller.
From the users point of view, the 3070 is the server and
the MS Windows controller is the client. But from a
networking point of view, the MS Windows controller is
the server because it is running a program called
X-Server. The 3070 requests services from the MS
Windows controller, such as displaying a window or
drawing board graphics. The MS Windows controller
does not request services from the 3070.

A server is a centralized computer that manages

requests and controls access to shared network
resources.

Client/Server
In a Client/Server network, a central computer, the
server, manages access to shared network resources.
The computers that connect to the server and request

Domain Names

A domain name is a unique combination of a hostname

and a network domain name. A hostname is a unique
name assigned to node within the network domain to
which the node is connected. It is not valid to have two
nodes with the same name in the same domain.
TCP/IP protocols provide a number of mechanisms for
mapping domain names to IP addresses.

Introduction
3070 systems now establish a root directory
environment variable.
Beginning with software revision 3070 04.00pa, an
environment variable is used to allow 3070 board files
to be easily transferred between 3070 systems running
either MS Windows or UNIX.
The environment variable is named
$AGILENT3070_ROOT. It replaces the root directory path
(upper path names) on both operating systems.
The directories, /var/hp3070 and /opt/hp3070, are
replaced by $AGILENT3070_ROOT on all MS Windows
systems.

Agilent Technologies 20012002

The root directory environment variable is usually set to

D:\Agilent3070 , but could change.

NOTE
The btgetenv$ ("AGILENT3070_ROOT") & is only required for BT-BASIC commands which are referenced to the root.
If the BT-BASIC msi btgetenv$ ("AGILENT3070_ROOT") & <command> is typed prior to the next BT-BASIC command (for example
compile or faon), then using the environment variable which defines the path from the root is unnecessary. BT-BASIC commands which
normally contain paths (msi, load, copy, save, get, store, unlink, rcall) for example, will require:
btgetenv$ ("AGILENT3070_ROOT") & <rest of path>

Use of the Root Directory Environment Variable

in a Korn Shell Window

Table 8-2 illustrates new path usage when working in a

Korn shell window.

In a Korn shell window, follow the UNIX syntax:

Use $<variable> (instead of %<variable>%).

Use the correct case.

Use / (forward slash) instead of \ (backslash).

Forward-Slashes versus Back-Slashes in

Command Lines Containing File Paths
A general rule for commands using a path to a directory
or file is to use a forward-slash (/) for commands tied to
a 3070 application, and use a back-slash (\) for operating
system-related commands.
If a command line containing a file path fails to execute,
it may be because the slash used is of the wrong type.
Reversing the slash(es) may resolve the issue.
This is because:

Agilent Technologies 20012002

In MS Windows, when opening a file from the

Start > Run... menu, both forward-slashes (/) and
back-slashes (\) are recognized.

A command may be performed in or with some

relationship to the MS-DOS environment, which
can require back-slashes in command lines
containing file paths.

Use BT-BASIC
BT-BASIC is the designated file-editing tool. Unless
otherwise specified, editing described in this chapter is
performed using BT-BASIC.
Korn shell, vi, and viw editors can also be used to edit
files.
Reference information for all these tools:

NT Korn Shell Quick Reference on page 8-18.

vi and viw Editor Quick Reference on

page 8-21.

Many Korn shell commands are used in the MS

It will be necessary to edit the system config file if the

testhead cards or locations of the testhead cards have
changed.

It is contained on a printout shipped with the system,

and can be used as a model if it should be necessary to
customize the system config file.

To edit the system config file:

The "actual" system config file is the system config file

in use which reflects the actual cards and card locations
in the testhead.

Descriptions of Some Statements in the System

Config File
The testhead name Statement
The testhead name statement in the system config file
identifies, via the hosts file, the block in the bootptab
file that contains the hardware and internet protocol
addresses for the System Card and ControlXT Card.
The testhead name statement in the system config file
includes only the modules that are present; for a
four-module system it looks like:
testhead name "testhead1" "module3" "module2"
"module1" "module0"

The System Card is represented by testhead1

The ControlXT Card in each module is represented by
module<n>

Modules are mapped in the hosts file. Using this

information, specific hardware addresses (HAs) can be
determined in the bootptab file.
The line frequency Statement
In this statement, the unused frequency is commented.
For example, if the system power is connected to 60
hertz, 50 is commented.

Agilent Technologies 20012002

Administering Agilent 3070 Systems (MS Windows NT and 2000)

NOTE
"Commented" means that the comment character,
an exclamation mark (!), has been placed at the
beginning of a line.
"Un-commented" means the "!" has been deleted
from the beginning of the line.
The relay Statement
See Vacuum Control on page 8-42.
The cards <keywords> Statements
These statements identify to the system which cards are
installed and where they are installed.
See Table 8-15 on page 8-44 for available 3070 testhead
cards with diagnostics names, cards <keywords>
statements, pattern applications rates and part numbers.
The cards <keywords> statements can be delimited by
commas (,); a range can be separated by the word "to."
Valid examples are:
cards 2, 3, 4, 5 hybrid standard double
density
cards 2 to 5 hybrid standard double density
cards 2, 4, 7 to 11 hybrid standard double
density

8-27

Chapter 8: Reference

NOTE
Single-density Hybrid Pin Cards cannot be used.
The supplies <keywords> Statements
Numbering of the supplies in the supplies
statements is arbitrary.

<keywords>

The software will accept any mapping of supply

numbers to modules.
If the customer plans to share board test fixtures with
other systems, it is possible they may have modified the
default power supply setting.
If so, reconcile the supplies numbering with existing
systems.

Vacuum Control

Location of Vacuum Control Statements

These are contained in the system config file:
$AGILENT3070_ROOT/diagnostics/th1/config

Vacuum Control Specifics

The relay <x> controls vacuum <y> statements
need to match the actual hardware configuration after
the customer decides how to implement vacuum control.

There is nothing special about the defaults except that

each matches a configuration shown in the site
preparation manual.
See the Agilent 3070 / 79000 Family Site Preparation
Manual 03066-90114 for a drawing of this default
vacuum hookup.
Modify the relay statements so they will work with your
customer's hardware.

For testheads without internal vacuum valves, the

default statements are:

For example, to turn on all four vacuum ports with a

single relay, the following statement might be used in
the system config file:

relay 1 controls vacuum 2,3

relay 1 controls vacuum 0,1,2,3

relay 2 controls vacuum 0,1

For testheads with the Agilent E9945A two-module

internal vacuum system, the default statements are:
relay 1 controls vacuum 3
relay 2 controls vacuum 2

For testheads with the Agilent E9946A four-module

internal vacuum system, the default statements are:
relay 1 controls vacuum 3
relay 2 controls vacuum 2
relay 3 controls vacuum 1
relay 4 controls vacuum 0

Testhead LAN and

Serial Port MUX

Testhead LAN IP Address

The testhead LAN IP address is 10.3.112.10 with a
subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
System Card / Control Card LAN Information
The System Card and the ControlXT Cards
communicate via a private LAN.
Because the System Card and ControlXT Card IP
addresses are local to each system, their assigned
addresses are the same from one system to the next.
However, their hardware addresses (ha) are unique in
each system.
The hardware address of the System Card is printed on
its sheet-metal panel.
The last four digits of the ControlXT Card's hardware
address are printed on one of its ROMs; it's the last line
(hexadecimal number) on the label.
To verify communication to the testhead (system card),
use the ping command.

If the communication test fails, check that the LAN

ports in the testhead are terminated properly.
See Controller Cables and Devices on page 8-52 for
the locations of the LAN terminations.

Serial Port MUX

The Kayak 700 controller contains a Digi AccelePort
Xp serial port MUX as standard equipment.
This 8-port EIA-232 serial MUX adapter provides eight
8-pin RJ-45 EIA-232 ports for supporting PPU, JOT,
and other optional serial-controlled devices.
CAUTION
SCSI adapters use the same HD-68
Many
connector type as the AccelePort Xp. DO NOT
plug SCSI devices into the Digi connector, and
DO NOT plug Digi peripheral cables into SCSI
adapters. Damage can result.
Connect cabling for serial devices as listed in
Table 8-21 or communication errors can result.
