First-Time Power Up Considerations The first time you turn on the logic analyzer, 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. NOTE Use the Enter and arrow keys on the attached keyboard. The logic analyzer front-panel keys do not work until Windows is running.
Information you may require to complete your network configuration may include, but is not limited to, • The Workgroup or Domain name. • Methodology for assigning IP addresses at your site (for example, DHCP). • Domain Name Service (DNS). Other network information that may be readily available from your network administrator.
Answering Windows Welcome Questions Once you have determined how you want to use your logic analyzer and your network configuration, power up your logic analyzer and answer the Windows Welcome questions. Table 1 Answering Windows Welcome Questions Standalone (No LAN) Workgroup Domain Help protect your PC N/A What's your computer's name? (After answering, wait several minutes for next question to appear) If your organization has a standard naming scheme, use that scheme.
Table 1 Answering Windows Welcome Questions Standalone (No LAN) Workgroup Domain (If LAN connected) Will this computer connect to the Internet directly, or through a network? N/A Choose "Yes, through a network" (Agilent does not support connecting to the internet through a modem directly connected to the logic analyzer.) N/A (If LAN is not connected) Windows unable to determine LAN connectivity. N/A You are told to set up LAN later.
Additional First-Time Setup Steps Establishing an Administrator Account (recommended for standalone and networked instruments) Agilent recommends that you set up an Administrator account for your logic analyzer. You have to be logged in to the Administrator account to do the following: • Install most software (applies whether the instrument is networked or standalone). • Change the workgroup. • Perform "Windows Updates". • Change firewall settings.
Making a Measurement 1 Start up the logic analyzer, connect to your target system, and select Setup>Bus/Signal. 2 Assign buses and signals and click OK.
3 Enter a trigger value. 4 Acquire and view data.
Snap to Edge Markers You can set the markers to jump to the nearest edge of a waveform. A yellow target will show which edge the marker will jump to.
Left-Click Menus Drag a box around parts of the data. When you release the mouse button, a menu appears. Tree Structure Labels Show individual signals in buses by clicking on the + to expand.
Offline Analysis Install the Agilent Logic Analyzer application on another Windows XP or Windows 2000 computer and you can analyze data without the 1680-series logic analyzer. 1 Follow the instructions in “Software Installation and Upgrades" on page 20 to load the 1680-series logic analyzer software on your PC. 2 Acquire a trace with the logic analyzer. 3 Save a configuration file with data. 4 Copy the file to the PC being used for offline analysis.
Trigger History Save and recall trigger settings.
Probing Probing is the key to effective and efficient use of logic analyzers. Agilent Technologies offers a wide variety of probing accessories that support general-purpose and application-specific measurement needs. We provide reliable, electrically and mechanically unobtrusive probes that make it easy to connect your Agilent logic analyzer to your system under test.
Changing Windows Firewall Settings When 1680-series logic analyzers are shipped from the factory, the Windows Firewall is enabled and set up with the exceptions required by the logic analyzer. To give other applications/ports access through the firewall For example, you may need to change firewall settings in order to: • Use NetOp to remotely control the logic analyzer. • Use RealVNC to remotely control the logic analyzer.
3 In the Windows Firewall dialog, click the Exceptions tab. 4 In the Exceptions tab, if the program or service is listed, check its box to enable it; otherwise, click Add Program... to give unlisted applications permission to penetrate the firewall, or click Add Port... to give unlisted ports access through the firewall. Refer to the application’s documentation for information on port numbers or other firewall setup information.
To restore the logic analyzer firewall defaults 1 From the Windows Start menu, choose Start>Control Panel. 2 In the Control Panel window, open Windows Firewall.
3 In the Windows Firewall dialog, click the Advanced tab. 4 In the Advanced tab, click Restore Defaults to restore the default Windows Firewall settings. 5 In the confirmation dialog, Click Yes. 6 Click OK to close the Windows Firewall dialog. 7 From the Windows Start menu, choose Start>Run; then, enter or select the file “C:\Program Files\Agilent Technologies\Logic Analyzer\ agFirewSP2.wsf”, and click OK.
The logic analyzer firewall defaults also enable the following ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) settings: • Allow incoming echo request. • Allow outgoing destination unreachable. • Allow outgoing time exceeded. NOTE Note that there are separate Windows Firewall profiles: Domain for when the computer has domain membership, and Standard for when the computer has workgroup membership. When you restore the logic analyzer firewall defaults, the defaults for both profiles are restored.
Optional Products If applicable, follow the instructions on the entitlement certificate that came with your purchase to enable the optional tool. Proper Cooling Allow at least 5 cm (2 inches) of space between instruments for proper cooling.
Self-Test To run self-tests go to Help>Self Test and then select the desired test. Emergency Recovery Follow the instructions provided with the recovery CD to restore your system software. This will only restore factory program files. User files and other programs will then need to be restored from your backup files.
