2. System Set-up
2.1 Packing List
•TSA 6000-USB Signal Collection Unit
•USB cable for connecting the TSA 6000-USB to your computer
•AC adapter for powering your TSA 6000-USB
2.2 Software Installation
Make sure you have the following ready:
•CD containing the TSA 6000 software.
•A PC running Windows 95, 98, 2000, XP or NT4.
•Internet Access to www.tsa6000.com

Note: Your software will run for 5 days after installation before you must
register. If not registered, after 5 days, the software is disabled.
2.3 System Overview
The TSA 6000 test system includes two parts. The data capture is handled by
the TSA 6000 hardware. Data Analysis is handled by the TSA 6000 software
application.
Data Capture
The TSA Test device interfaces to a local telephone loop. It collects data
through dual 16-bit analog to digital converters and transfers it to a PC. The
TSA 6000 USB device has a USB connection and the TSA 6000 software
facilitates all control of the data capture via a dialog box on the PC.
Data Analysis
The TSA 6000 software displays and manipulates data graphically. There are
also functions to analyze files for the presence of telephony signals. Filters can
be applied to the data to remove single frequency interference tones from the
signals of interest.

Calibration
The TSA 6000 USB runs a calibration routine on the AC channel when the
calibrate button is clicked. Remove any telephone cables connected to the TSA
6000 USB ‘Line’ or ‘Telephone’ jacks before calibrating. Calibration need
only be run once after Software initialization. Calibration data is stored on the
PC, therefore you must calibrate the TSA 6000-USB for each PC that you
install the software on.

3. Front Panel
3.1 Audio and Data interfaces
RJ-11 Jacks
The TSA6000-USB has 2 parallel RJ-11 jacks on the front panel.
USB Connector
The TSA6000-USB has a USB jack for connection to a PC
Status LED
When the TSA 6000 USB is powered on and not recording, the Status LED will flash with a
10% duty cycle and a 2Hz rate (“blip” flash). When a file is being recorded the green Status
LED will flash with 50% duty cycle at a 2Hz rate (steady on/off). When the unit is not
connected to the PC with the USB cable, the LED will be on solid to indicate there is power to
the unit.
3.2 Menu Items and Dialog Box
The menu items for the TSA 6000 USB appear in a dialog box on the TSA 6000 software.
Pressing the connect icon will bring up this menu when a USB device is connected.
