Step 2
Click Reset Analyzer
The Analyzer resets, performs self-diagnostics, and returns to service.

The self-diagnostics should complete about five seconds after the trigger LED
lights. If the diagnostics fail, the trigger LED blinks on and off continually,
indicating faulty hardware. If this occurs, contact CATC for customer support.
Downloading New Code
The BusEngine core is the heart of the USB Chief Analyzer. Using state-of-the-art
PLD technology, it incorporates both the high speed recording engine and the
configureable building blocks that implement data/state/error detections,
triggering, capture filtering, external signal monitoring, and event counting and
sequencing. Both the BusEngine program and the Firmware that manages the
internal microcontroller are fully field upgradeable.
Upgrading the BusEngine
Within a new software release, it may be necessary to update the Analyzer’s
BusEngine hardware for proper operation. The Readme file lets you know if this
is necessary.
To update the BusEngine, follow these steps:
Step 1
Click Update BusEngine on the Analyzer Setup screen.
