DATA ACQUISITION
Unigraf DP AUX Channel Monitor consists of DPA-400 unit for connecting to the
DisplayPort™ link and a Graphical User Interface (GUI) application for operating it and
creating reports. The serial communication setup and License Key entry are covered in the
Setup Instructions
section of this manual. The following sections describe the process of
acquiring AUX channel data. Generating data reports is covered in its own chapter.
Getting Ready
Plug your DPA-400 to your PC and start the GUI application. Verify that the right COM port is
selected, a valid License Key is available and the GUI main window opens.
If required, connect your external input signals to the DPA-400 I/O connector using a suitable
cable.
Note
In order to ensure the signal integrity of high main data lane speeds (HBR2 and higher) you
will need to use the custom Y-shaped pass-by cable supplied with the delivery of DPA-400 or
the Upgrade package. DPA-400 hardware is not compatible with HBR2 and higher data
transfer speed.
Note
Please make sure that you have connected the DP cables right:
