TLA700 Series Logic Analyzer Installation Manual
You can use the TLA715 Portable Mainframe on a bench or on a cart in the
normal position (on the bottom feet). You can also use the logic analyzer while it
rests on the rear feet. If you use the instrument while it is resting on the rear feet,
make sure that you properly route any cables connected to the rear of the
instrument to avoid damaging them.
The TLA721 Benchtop and TLA7XM Expansion Mainframes are designed to
operate on a bench or in a rackmount environment. If you need to stack more
than two benchtop and expansion mainframes, install the mainframes in a rack.
Please refer to the online help under Standard and Optional Accessories for
rackmount kit part numbers.
WARNING.
To avoid personal injury, never lift or move a benchtop or expansion
mainframe by yourself. The size and weight of these mainframes requires two
people to lift or move them.
Do not stack more then one expansion mainframe on top of a benchtop main-
frame or another expansion mainframe. Always use a rackmount kit to ensure
that the expansion mainframes are secure and will not fall.
Installing TLA7XM Expansion Mainframes
If your logic analyzer does not contain any expansion mainframes, skip this
section. Observe the following guidelines when installing expansion mainframes:
CAUTION.
Verify that all mainframes are powered off before continuing the
installation procedure. If you are installing more than two expansion main-
frames, always use a rackmount kit. Contact your local Tektronix representative
for information on site considerations for multiple mainframes.
If you have a benchtop mainframe, install the expansion module in any slot of
the mainframe except 0 through 2; these slots are reserved for the benchtop
controller module (refer to Figure 1 on page 3). If you have only one expansion
mainframe, install the expansion module in slot 12 to keep the expansion cables
out of your way.
If you are installing two expansion mainframes, consider installing the two
expansion modules next to the benchtop controller module to maximize the
number of open slots as shown in Figure 2 on page 4.
