Basic Installation This chapter describes all of the steps needed to install the TLA 700 Series Logic Analyzer. 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 all of the information in this chapter and perform those steps that apply to your specific situation. This chapter deals mainly with hardware installation.
Basic Installation Check the Environmental Requirements Read this section before attempting any installation procedures. This section describes site considerations, power requirements, and ground connections for your logic analyzer. Site Considerations: Portable Mainframe The portable mainframe is designed to operate on a bench or on a cart in the normal position (on the bottom feet). For proper cooling, at least two inches (5.1 cm) of clearance is recommended on the rear and sides of the mainframe.
Basic Installation Operating Requirements Table 1 lists the operating requirements for the logic analyzers. Refer to the TLA 700 Series Logic Analyzer User Manual for a complete specification list.
Basic Installation Chassis Ground Connections Figure 1 shows chassis ground connections. Use the chassis ground connections to connect the grounds of one or more instruments to the logic analyzer to ensure a common ground connection between instruments. WARNING. Do not remove the safety ground screw from the benchtop mainframe. The safety ground screw must always be in place to ensure the proper bonding of the power supply to the mainframe.
Basic Installation Install the Modules CAUTION. Do not install or remove any modules while the mainframe is powered on; doing so can damage the modules or the logic analyzer. If your logic analyzer does not have the modules preinstalled, install the modules as shown in Figure 2. You can install the modules in any slot. Use a Phillips screwdriver with a Number 1 tip to tighten the retaining screws after seating the modules in place.
Basic Installation Cover Empty Slots If you have any unused (empty) slots in your mainframe, you must install blank slot panel covers to meet EMC specifications. Install a blank slot panel cover for each empty slot as shown in Figure 3. Make sure that the EMI shielding is in contact with the adjacent panel or module cover. Installing the covers provides proper EMI shielding and reduces audible noise. CAUTION. Use only Tektronix TLA 700 Series slot panel covers on the benchtop mainframe.
Basic Installation Connect the Standard and Other Accessories The accessory connections are the same as those you would make on a personal computer. The connection points are shown in Figure 4. Use the icons that appear in the circled areas as a guide. See Table 2 on page 8 for additional connection information.
