Figure 5 Analyzer Tool Bar
In the event that no LPT port connected to the hardware is found, the
software will display the Hardware Not Detected message. To
configure an LPT port see LPT Port Setting on page 13
Simulation Mode
Clicking OK in this dialog box will launch the analyzer
software to operate in the simulation mode.
LPT Port Problems
If your analyzer hardware is connected to an LPT port and
there is power to the analyzer, but you are still getting the
message Hardware Not Detected then see the section on
LPT Port setting below.
Bi-directional Port
The host system LPT port must be a Bi-directional port. See
LPT Port Setting below.
Launch Problems
In the event that you experience difficulties in launching
your software, please see section on LPT Port Setting.
Operating in Simulation Mode
Your system will operate in the Simulation Mode as default if the
hardware is not detected, however, you may operate in Simulation
Mode directly without installing the analyzer hardware. To operate
without hardware, select Hardware Not Installed (Simulation
Mode) in the LPT Port Setting dialog box and click OK.
The Analyzer program will launch and display the tool bar as shown
in Figure 5, but with the limitation that the analyzer will display
previously captured bus data.
Limitations
The Simulation mode lets you try all of the available
functions, but keep in mind that the system is not
capturing any real data and is displaying pre-captured
results.
