Merging TLA700 Modules
26
TLA700 Series Logic Analyzer Installation Manual
H
The maximum merged combinations are two TLA7Lx and TLA7Mx logic
analyzer modules; three TLA7Nx, TLA7Px, or TLA7Qx logic analyzer
modules; and five TLA7Axx and TLA7NAx logic analyzer modules.
H
TLA7Nx, TLA7Px, and TLA7Qx Logic analyzer modules cannot be merged
with TLA7Lx and TLA7Mx Logic analyzer modules (even if they are
connected together).
H
TLA7Axx and TLA7NAx modules cannot be merged with TLA7Nx,
TLA7Px, TLA7Qx, TLA7Lx, or TLA7Mx modules.
H
Any combination of TLA7Axx and TLA7NAx modules (up to five) can be
merged.
H
To merge a logic analyzer module to an established merged set, the
established merged set must first be unmerged through software. Unmerged
modules are the only potential candidates to add to a merged configuration.
TLA7PG2 Pattern Generator Module Merging Rules
The following pattern generator module merging rules must be followed:
H
Pattern generator modules are merged through software—no physical
connection is required.
H
Pattern generator modules must be physically adjacent.
H
Pattern generator modules may not be merged across mainframes.
H
Merging pattern generator modules with unequal memory depths will result
in the merged set assuming the depth of the shallowest pattern generator
module.
H
Pattern generator modules must have the same firmware version.
H
When merged, the left-most pattern generator module is the master.
Merge Procedure
Complete the following steps to create a merged module from two or more
individual modules. You must complete these steps prior to installing the
modules in a mainframe.
CAUTION.
To avoid damaging the mainframe or any modules, always power off
the mainframe before removing or installing modules.
