Teledyne LeCroy UWBTracer Getting Started Guide - Manual (Page 2)

Setting Up the Analyzer
Note: You must install the software before connecting the
analyzer to the host machine for the first time.
To set up the analyzer:
1.
Remove the UWBTracer/Trainer analyzer, external power
supply, and power cord from the shipping container or
carrying case.
2. Ensure that the analyzer plug-in is in the right-hand slot and
the exerciser plug-in is in the left-hand slot (as seen with the
front panel facing you).
3. Connect the analyzer to the power supply. Connect the power
cord to the power supply. Connect the power cord to a
100V–240V, 50Hz–60Hz, power outlet to turn on the
analyzer (the power supply and the analyzer have no switch).
Note: It is not recommended to connect the analyzer to the
power supply after connecting the power supply cord to a
power outlet.
At power on, the Status LED of the CATC 5K platform turns
green and remains on 20 seconds while the analyzer
performs self-diagnosis.
If the diagnostics pass, the Status LED turns blue.
If the diagnostics fail, the Status LED blinks red to indicate
hardware failure (call Customer Support).
4. Connect the USB cable between the HOST USB port on the
back of the analyzer and a USB port on the PC. The host
operating system detects the analyzer and begins to install
the USB driver.
5. Step through the Microsoft
®
Windows
®
hardware wizard. The
wizard automatically installs UWBTracer/Trainer as a USB
device on the PC. The required USB driver files catc5k.sys
and uwb5k.sys were placed in the correct directory during
software installation.
For synchronized multi-analyzer operation, the analyzers
must be connected in a daisy-chain topology to each other
using the Green/Purple cable.
