Restoring and Installing Software
Installing the TLA Application Software
The TLA application software is installed when your instrument is shipped from
the factory. The TLA application software includes the TPI client software
that allows you to programmatically control the logic analyzer from a remote
PC. Perform the following procedure to reinstall the latest version of the TLA
application software on your logic analyzer or to install the software on a PC for
remote or of
fl
ine operation. Use these steps as a
fi
rst resort to recovering from
application software problems. If you experience problems with the software after
completing these steps, you may have to restore your software. (See page 11,
Installing the TLA
Application Software on
the Logic Analyzer
When using this procedure with the logic analyzer you will be asked to log on
as Administrator. The logic analyzer is initially set up to automatically log on as
Administrator (with no password) so you may not see the login prompt. If the
network setups have been changed on your instrument, make sure that you log on
as Administrator or as a user who has administrator privileges. Failure to do so
can prevent the software upgrade from completing successfully.
1.
Log on to the instrument as Administrator and quit any applications.
2.
Install the TLA Application Software CD in the CD-ROM drive of the logic
analyzer.
3.
If the installation software does not start automatically, browse to the TLA
Application software folder on the CD and run the Setup.exe program.
4.
Follow the on-screen instructions.
If you have an older version of the software on the hard disk, the installation
program will detect it and ask if you want to remove it. Follow the on-screen
instructions to remove the software, answering "Yes" to any prompts. Restart
the instrument when prompted. Repeat Step 3 to reinstall the software.
