78 16900 Series Logic Analysis Systems Installation Guide
4 First-Time Set Up
First-Time Set Up Considerations
The first time you turn on the logic analysis system, the Windows
Welcome session starts. Your logic analyzer configuration and the answers
to the Windows Welcome questions are affected by how you choose to use
the logic analyzer.
Determine Whether the Instrument will be Connected to the Network
Standalone
You are going to use the logic analysis system as a standalone instrument
(no LAN connection). Printing requires a printer attached to the logic
analyzer, sharing files is done via CD, USB flash drive, etc.
Connected to a Network
If you require the ability to print, share files, remotely control the logic
analyzer, etc. over the network, you need to either join a workgroup or
domain.
Get Network Setup Information
For networking, find out whether the network that your instrument will be
connected to uses the Microsoft Workgroup model or Microsoft Domain
model. In order for your instrument to perform tasks over the network
(print, transfer files, etc.) your instrument must be configured
appropriately for the networking model in use at your site.
NOTE
Use the Enter and arrow keys on the attached keyboard. The logic analyzer front-panel keys
do not work until Windows is running.
NOTE
If you plan to use COM automation to programmatically control a logic analysis system
from a remote computer, be aware that the remote computer and the logic analysis system
must both have the same kind of network membership; that is, they must both be members
of a "Workgroup", or they must both be members of a "Domain". This is due to the security
requirements of Distributed COM.
