Basic Installation
Installing Modules in the
Portable Mainframe
You can install any of the modules in any slot of the portable mainframe. If you are
not merging the modules, and for air
fl
ow considerations, follow these guidelines:
Install a single module in slots 3-4. Place a double-width slot cover over
slots 1-2.
When installing two logic analyzer modules, install the module with the
higher channel count in slots 1-2. Install the module with the lower channel
count in slots 3-4.
When installing two logic analyzer modules with different amounts of
memory, install the module with the larger memory in slots 3-4. Install the
module with the lower memory in slots 1-2.
Install TLA7Lx/Mx/Nx/Px/Qx modules, TLA7Dx/Ex modules, or
TLA7PG2 modules before you install TLA7Axx modules.
When installing a logic analyzer module with an oscilloscope module,
install the oscilloscope module in slots 1-2, and the logic analyzer module
in slots 3-4.
Use a screwdriver to tighten the retaining screws to 2.5 in-lbs after seating the
modules in place. (See Figure 39 on page 44.)
Installing Modules in the
Benchtop Mainframe
You can install any of the modules in any slot of the benchtop mainframe. If you
intend to merge the modules, disregard the following suggestions and refer to the
merging modules rules. (See page 55,
.) If you are not merging
the modules, and for air
fl
ow considerations, follow these guidelines:
Install a single module in slots 1-2. Place a double-width slot cover over
slots 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, and 11-12.
When installing two or more logic analyzer modules, install the module with
the highest channel count in slots 1-2. Install the module with the lower
channel count in slots 3-4. Place double-width slot covers over slots 5-6,
7-8, 9-10, and 11-12.
When installing two or more logic analyzer modules with different amounts
of memory, install the module with the largest memory in slots 1-2. Install the
module with the lower memory in slots 3-4. Place double-width slot covers
over slots 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, and 11-12.
Install TLA7Lx/Mx/Nx/Px/Qx modules, TLA7Dx/Ex modules, or
TLA7PG2 modules before you install TLA7Axx modules.
When installing a logic analyzer module with an oscilloscope module,
install the logic analyzer module in slots 1-2 and the oscilloscope module in
slots 3-4. Place double-width slot covers over slots 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, and 11-12.
In systems with three or less benchtop mainframes, physically merged
modules are not automatically established as a merged set until you merge
them through software.
