Closing and Exiting the ChipScope Pro Analyzer
To exit the ChipScope Pro Analyzer tool, select

automatically saved upon exit.
Viewing Options
You can hide or display the split pane on the left of the ChipScope Pro Analyzer window
and the Message pane at the bottom of the window. By default, both are displayed the first
time the ChipScope Pro Analyzer tool is launched. To hide the project tree/signal browser
split pane, uncheck it under
View > Project Tree
. To hide the Message pane, uncheck it
under
View > Messages

Setting up a Server Host Connection
The ChipScope Pro Analyzer client GUI application requires a connection to the
ChipScope Pro Analyzer server application that is running on either the local or a remote
system. Select
JTAG Chain > Server Host Setting
. This pops up the server settings dialog.
For local mode operation, the
Server
setting must be set to
localhost:<port>
(where
<port>
can be set to any unused TCP/IP port number). The default
<port>
number is 50001. In
local mode, the
Password
setting is not necessary.
Note:
In local mode, the server starts automatically.
For remote mode operation, the
Server
setting must be set to an IP address (or appropriate
system name) and port number in the format of 192.168.0.1:50001 (or servername:50001).
The
Password
setting must be set to the same password you used when the server was
started on the remote system. In remote mode, the connection is not actually established
until you open a connection to a JTAG download cable, as described in the subsequent
sections of this document.
Note:
In remote mode, the server needs to be started manually, as described in
Analyzer Server Interface,” page 51
Opening a Parallel Cable Connection
To open a connection to the parallel cable, make sure the cable is connected to one of the
parallel ports on your computer. Select
JTAG Chain >
Xilinx
Parallel Cable
. This pops up
the Parallel Cable Selection configuration dialog box. You can choose the Parallel Cable III,
Parallel Cable IV, or have the ChipScope Pro Analyzer tool autodetect the cable type.
If the Parallel Cable IV or Auto Detect Cable Type option is selected, you can choose the
speed of the cable; the choices are 10 MHz, 5 MHz (default), 2.5 MHz, 1.25 MHz, or
625 kHz. Choose the speed that makes the most sense for the board under test. Type the
printer port name in the Port selection box (usually the default LPT1 is correct) and click
OK
. If successful, the ChipScope Pro Analyzer tool queries the boundary scan chain to
determine its composition (see
