SETTING UP THE ETEHRNET OF THE LOGIC ANALYZER AND TRANSFERRING PLOTS USING FTP

The Ethernet Configuration is already setup.
The IP Address of the logic analyzer is 128.100.51.180, its hostname is hp1663.eecg .

TO CONNECT TO THE NETWORK

Turn off the logic analyzer.

Connect the analyzer to the network using RJ-45 connector. (The ethernet blue cable).

Turn on the analyzer.

TO CONFIGURE THE NETWORK ADDRESS

The configuration is already setup, here are the steps involved if you wish to check this setup:

Turn the logic analyzer on and press the system key from the top menu.

In the system External I/O menu, select the LAN settings box.

The info in the internal settings popup menu should be as follows:
1. Lan port: LAN TP
2. Analyzer IP Address: 128.100.51.180
3. Gateway IP Address: No need to enter a Gateway IP address since the analyzer is on the same subnet as the workstation.
4. File Timeout: 1.5s.
The logic analyzer file timeout is how long the analyzer keeps a file in the active portion of memory. For slow network connections, a large file timeout decreases the total time fo a file transfer. Too high a file timeout for a fast network connection can actually slow file transfers because too much is in active memory. A good guideline for file timeout is 1.5 seconds.
5. Analyzer name: 1663CS

NOTE:
To verify connectivity, use the "ping" utility as follows:
ping [IP address / analyzer hostname]

TO ACCESS THE FILE SYSTEM VIA FTP

To access the logic analyzer's file system using ftp, enter the following command on your computer:

ftp [analyzer's hostname / IP address]
i.e ftp hp1663.eecg
or
ftp 128.100.51.180

When the communication is made and you are prompted for a login name, enter either "data" or "control" as your name.

A Control user has read/write access to the file system. There can only be one control user at any time.
A Data user has read access to the entire file system, but can only write to /system/disk/hard and system/disk/flexible directories (the logic analyzer disk drives). Multiple data users can access the logic analyzer simultaneously.

There is no password protection built into the logic analyzer, but in case you were prompted for a password when you ftp, just hit the Return key.

TO COPY SCREEN IMAGES

FTP the logic analyzer as explained above.

Set up the screen you want to copy.

Copy the screen image file from the /system/graphics directory. The /system/graphics directory contains the following files:
- screen.tif a grayscale TIFF file, in TIFF version 5.0 format.
-screenbw.tif a black-and-white TIFF file, in TIFF version 5.0 format.
-screen.pcx a grayscale PCX file.
-screenbw.epi a black-and-white Encapsulated PostScript file in EPS version 3.0 format.

NOTE: These graphics files contain the current display on the logic analyzer screen. The contents of the files change whenever you change the display.

USING THE X WINDOW INTERFACE

To start the interface

On your workstation enable the analyzer to initiate windows by entering the "xhost" command:
xhost hp1663.eecg .

In the analyzer's System External I/O menu, select the X-Window settings field.
In the menu that pops up, enter the IP address of the X windows server, the display number and the screen number.
NOTE: The display number and the screen number are usually 0. The display number is not zero when you have multiple displays.

Select Doen, then select Connect.

Your X server opens an analyzer window like the one below, and the Connect field changes to Disconnect.

To duplicate the Front-Panel Knob Control

To duplicate turning the knob, hold down the right mouse button, and move the mouse up or to the right for clockwise knob movement; move the mouse down or to the left for counter-clockwise knob movement.

You can also use the keyboard's Shift-up or -right arrow keys to duplicate clockwise knob movement. Use the shift-down or -left arrow keys to duplicate counter-clockwise knob movement.
