standard driver directory on your PC.
Step 6 When the software installation is complete, connect the USB
cable from the host PC to the PeRT
3
Eagle chassis.
Step 7 Turn on the PeRT 3 system.
Step 8 The operating system will prompt you to install the USB drivers
for the PeRT
3
system. Follow the on-screen prompts to install
the USB drivers. You will be prompted to install a USB driver for
both the Eagle R6 and for the Eagle FE6. Follow the same
procedure for both.
Note: Do NOT let the operating system connect to the Internet to
search for drivers.
Note: Allow the operating system to automatically install the
drivers.
Note: If for some reason the operating system does not
automatically find the drivers, you can manually browse to
C:\Program Files\LeCroy\PeRT3\drivers (or other directory
if you did not select the default directory on installation) and
have the operating system install the drivers from there.
Step 9 Restart the host computer system.
Connecting to the PeRT

Eagle
Overview of
Connection
The PeRT 3 Eagle System allows the user to be directly connected to the PeRT 3 system
in use, or connected remotely via a network. This latter method is very useful when the
system is located in a lab or other remote location, and the user wishes to conduct testing
from their office (or home).
To support this flexibility, the software application includes both a client, which contains
the user interface displayed to the user, and a server, which communicates directly with
the PeRT
3 hardware. The server must exist on the PC directly connected to the
hardware, the client may exist on any PC that has a network connection to the server.
By default, the PeRT
3
installer installs both client and server programs.
When the client is launched, it will first search for a PeRT 3 server on the local PC. If it
finds a server, it will display "LOCALHOST(local)" in the PeRT 3 field of the PeRT 3
Selection panel on the Main tab. It then attempts to connect to the local hardware
attached to the PC.
