Separate Systems

When using the analyzer, it is recommended to use a system to generate bus traffic and a
second system to run the software, to avoid characterization of traffic generated by the
analyzer.

Connecting in General

Note:

You must install the software before connecting the analyzer to the host machine for the first

time.

To set up the analyzer:

1. Plug the power adapter into the unit, and then plug the power adapter into a 100V–

240V, 50Hz–60Hz, power outlet. Turn on the Power switch.
At power on, the analyzer will go through initialization as shown on the LCD display.

2. Connect the USB cable between the Sierra M6‐2 USB port and a USB port on the

host machine. The host machine operating system detects the analyzer and driver
files.
(See

“Connecting via Ethernet” on page 34

for Ethernet connectivity.)

3. Connect the analyzer as shown in Figure 1.4: .
