Setting Up and Connecting the Summit T3-8 Analyzer
You can connect the Analyzer to the host machine using USB or Ethernet.
Using an Ethernet Connection
To set up the Analyzer using an Ethernet connection:
1.
Install PETracer software on the host machine.
2. Connect the Analyzer to a 100-volt to 240-volt, 50 Hz to
60 Hz, 120 W power outlet using the provided power cord.
3. Connect the Ethernet cable between the Ethernet port on the
Analyzer and a Ethernet port in the local network.
4. Turn on the power switch on the front of the analyzer.
Note 1: No driver installation is needed for Summit T3-8 to
operate over a network.
Note 2: At power-on, the Analyzer initializes and performs a
self-diagnostic. The results are reflected by messages on the
Summit T3-8 LCD display. If the LCD display indicates
failure, call Teledyne LeCroy Customer Support for
assistance.
Note 3: Summit T3-8 is configured at the factory to use dynamic
IP setting and will get all required network parameters from
the DHCP server on your network. If the DHCP server is not
available, or to connect Summit T3-8 directly to the host
machine, you can reconfigure the network settings of Summit
T3-8 using the menus in the LCD display on the front of the
analyzer (see the “LCD Menus” part of section 4 of this
document).

Start the PETracer software and perform the following procedure to
connect to a Summit T3-8 analyzer over the network.
1.
Select the Setup > All connected devices… menu in the
PETracer application to display the Analyzer Devices dialog.
The Summit devices in the list are marked:

message box allowing you to connect to the named
device.
• Take no action: When you start the application or when
the named device appears on the network while the
