Chapter 2. Getting Started – Quick Setup

2.1 HIGHLIGHTS

This chapter discusses:

• Using the LIN Serial Analyzer for the First Time

• Software Installation

• Running LIN Serial Analyser Program

2.2 USING THE LIN SERIAL ANALYZER FOR THE FIRST TIME

The LIN Serial Analyser is shipped preprogrammed and ready for use. The user needs

to supply:

• A wiring harness with appropriate connections to its system network

• A power supply (nominal 13.8V)

Before making any connections, the software must be installed on the host system. The

user must have administrator level rights to install some of the required programs. For

more information, see Section 2.3 “Software Installation”.

Power is supplied either through the round, power plug or the terminal block. The

positive and negative terminals and power plug are common. Supplied power must be

in the range of 8.0V to 30.0V with a nominal value of 12.0-14.4V. Less than 5.0 mA of

current is required to power the LIN transceiver section of the unit.

Internal jumper, E1, configures the unit as either a master or slave node. A 1.0 kΩ bus

pull-up resistor is enabled when E1 is connected across A and B. With the jumper

removed, an internal 30 kΩ resistor is retained.

The unit is configured as a master node as shipped.

2.3 SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

All necessary files are contained on the Compact Disc (CD) supplied with the device.

2.3.1 Installing the LIN Serial Analyser Program

1. Run setup.exe from the CD.

2. Select Install when prompted and follow any instructions.

The PC host program is uninstalled with the control panel’s add/remove utility.

2.4 RUNNING LIN SERIAL ANALYSER PROGRAM

Before starting the LIN Serial Analyser software:

• The analyzer must be connected to the PC by a USB cable

• The analyzer must be powered up

The analyzer’s green USB and blue LIN lights will be on when these conditions are

met.

Note: The LIN Serial Analyser program requires the Microsoft

.NET Framework

version 2.0.
