Installing LogicWave
This section provides instructions for setting up the LogicWave logic
analyzer and connecting it to a device under test.
The logic analyzer user interface requires a host computer (PC) with
the following characteristics (or better):
•Pentium 90 MHz
•Windows 95/98/NT/2000
•16MB RAM
•10MB available space on the hard disk drive
•Available parallel port (no pass-through devices installed)
•Available LPT1 peripheral device designator
The host computer (PC) running the logic analyzer interface can be
either powered on or off. The interface software is installed on the PC.

Installing LogicWave
Step 1. Connect the logic analyzer to a host
computer (PC)
1Connect the small end of an HP C2946A parallel port printer
cable to the PARALLEL connector on the rear panel of the logic
analyzer
2Connect the large end of the printer cable to the PC’s parallel
port.
3Apply power to the PC if it is not turned on.
To ensure the PC’s parallel port is properly configured, interrupt the
PC’s boot process by pressing [ F2 ] on the keyboard. Scroll down to
the parallel port configuration and observe the current parallel port
data transfer mode. Ensure either Enhanced Capabilities Port (ECP),
Byte, or Nibble mode is selected (Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) mode
will not work). If none of the correct transfer modes is selected, you
need to change the transfer mode according to the instructions for
your PC.
