7700 Series DTV Frame Manual
7700 Debug Kit
1. OVERVIEW
In some cases it may be necessary for the user to perform module tests or calibrations. It is difficult to get
access to calibrations points and attach scope probes while the modules are installed in the 7700FR
frame. In place if a conventional extender board for the 7700 frame, the 7700DK Debug kit allows users to
operate individual 7700 series modules on the work bench, outside of the 7700FR frame.
The debug kit consists of the following parts:
PART # DESCRIPTION QTY
WA-7700DK-PS 7700 Series Bench Power Adapter 1
WA-S76 7700PB Rev A and later Upgrade Cable 1
R75 Screws for rear panel 10
Q65 4 amp. Fuses 4
S38 RS232 Extension Cable 1
S82 2 amp. Chip Fuses 10
Each 7700 series module is designed to operate as a stand-alone module with its companion I/O module.
The power adapter allows you to provide the necessary power to the module to operate it when it is
removed from the frame. If the module you wish to use with the 7700DK has connectors other than
standard BNC connectors, you will have to remove the I/O module from the rear of the frame and fit it to
the module under test. See the following sections for complete information about using the debug kit.
2. USING THE DEBUG KIT
2.1. REMOVING THE MODULE FROM THE FRAME
Press the card ejector down to release the module. Grasp then the card using the card ejector and pull
the module out from the frame. As the card ejector goes past the front extrusion you will have to pull it
with slightly more force. Carefully place the module on an anti-static surface.
If the module has connectors other than standard BNC connectors, you will have to remove the I/O
connector plate from the rear of the frame and fit it to the module under test. To remove the I/O plate,
remove the two screws that hold it in place, and store them in a safe place. Carefully press the
connectors on the I/O plate that you have removed into the mating connectors of the module, making sure
that they are properly aligned. Press the module firmly into the I/O connectors to make sure that they are
fully seated.
!Make sure that the rear connectors on the module are properly aligned with the I/O
connectors before inserting them. DO NOT force the connectors to mate, as this may
bend connector pins.
