Installing the probe interface card in your
personal computer
CAUTIONS...
THE PROBE INTERFACE CARD IS SUBJECT TO DAMAGE BY STATIC
DISCHARGE. IT IS THEREFORE RECOMMENDED THAT THE USE OF AN
ANTI-STATIC WRISTBAND, CONNECTED TO A SUITABLE EARTH
POINT, IS EMPLOYED WHENEVER THE CARD IS HANDLED.
MOVEMENT, WHICH CAN GENERATE STATIC ELECTRICITY, SHOULD
ALSO BE KEPT TO A MINIMUM.
THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS ARE OF A GENERAL NATURE. FOR
SPECIFIC INFORMATION/INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW THE PROBE
INTERFACE CARD MUST BE INSTALLED INTO YOUR PERSONAL
COMPUTER (PC), REFER TO THE USER/TECHNICAL REFERENCE
MANUAL SUPPLIED WITH YOUR PC.
Preparation of the CC1 probe interface card
Note...
If the base address setting of the probe interface card is changed, it is
important to ensure that, following installation of your TRACECUT
software, the base address setting in TRACECUT is also changed. This
can be achieved by accessing the RETROSCAN specific parameters
within the Utilities section of the TRACECUT software and entering the
correct address. Refer to your TRACECUT on-line help for instructions
on how to perform this task.
The probe interface card (see Figure 2.2) is supplied pre-set to I/O base
address 300 hex. Whilst this setting should be correct for most installations, if
this base address is already being used by another card within your PC (or
your PC has difficulty in accessing the card), the base address may be
changed to one of the following:
•
200 hex
•
210 hex
•
310 hex
