HARDWARE INSTALLATION
UCD-240 is delivered with scripts that enable installing the device without using the UCD
Console GUI. Please, follow the steps introduced in the following chapters for installing
Unigraf Electrical Test Cable and DUTs.
Unigraf Electrical Test Cable
Some features of the Electrical Test function are available only when using the special
Electrical Test Cable provided by Unigraf. Electrical Test Cable includes extra wires
enabling UCD-240 to individually measure the electrical continuity of DUT’s four VBUS
and four GND signals that are normally tied together at DUT’s end of the cable. Please
refer to the image below for clarification.
Connecting the Unigraf Electrical Test Cable
You can ensure that the Electrical Test Cable is connected correctly by running the
WaitForUnigrafCableConnected Windows Batch File. The file can be found from the USB
Flash Drive delivered with UCD-240 from the Test Automation folder. If the cable is
connected properly, “Unigraf Test Cable CONNECTED!” text will show. You can exit the
command-line by pressing any key.
Note When attaching Unigraf Electric Test Cable, please make sure that the finger-screw is
tightened all-the-way into its hole. When tightened, the finger-screw triggers a switch
indicating the presence of Unigraf Electric Test Cable.

Connecting DUT
You can ensure that the DUT is connected correctly by running the WaitForDUTConnected
Windows Batch File. The file can be found from the USB Flash Drive delivered with UCD-
240 from the Test Automation folder. If the cable is connected properly, a “DUT is
CONNECTED!” text will show. You can exit the command-line by pressing any key.
Setting the DUT to DP Alt Mode
You can set the DUT to 4 lanes DP Alt Mode by running the Set4LanesModeOn macro.
Correspondingly you can set the DUT to 2 lanes DP Alt Mode by running
Set2LanesModeOn macro. Detailed information about the macros can be found from the
USB Flash Drive delivered with UCD-240 from the macros text file.
Checking the Status of the DUT
You can check the status of the DUT by running the USBCRoleStatuses text file. The file
can be found from the USB Flash Drive delivered with UCD-240. The script shows power
role, data role, VCONN, DP Alt Mode and power contract status of the DUT. By running
this script you can ensure that the DUT has been successfully set to the correct DP Alt
Mode.

LICENSE MANAGER
Licensing
The features of UCD Console GUI are divided into groups based on the target use of the
device. Some basic features can be used without licenses. Advanced feature groups have
their dedicated licenses that open the related part of the GUI or enable the related control.
Unigraf licenses are provided as strings of characters, License Keys. Each License Key
enables a dedicated function in one device. Each device has its dedicated Seed Number.
Each License Key is tied to one Seed Number. License Keys can be freely used in any
number of PCs
License keys are managed with Unigraf License Manager. By default, shortcut to Unigraf
License Manager can be found in Start Menu under: All programs/Unigraf/ TSI.
Please click Yes in the first dialog. License Manager can be run only with Administrator
rights.
Note: System administrator's privileges are required for accessing the licenses.
License Manager GUI
Once the application starts up, it will look for any licensing enabled Unigraf device. If no
suitable device families are detected, License Manager will exit. Please first select one of
the available device families by clicking one of the device family selector buttons.
In the list of Attached Devices please select the device in question. You can find the serial
number and the seed number of your device in a sticker attached to the bottom of your
device.
The Back button will bring you back to the device family selection screen. The Refresh
button will re-scan the system for installed hardware.

UCD Console for UCD-340 User Manual | Unigraf Oy

Managing Licenses
Seed Number
Each license is tied to a hardware unit with the help of the Seed Number. Each unit has a
unique Seed Number. You can find the Seed Number of the selected unit in the top of the
dialog.
The Seed Number link in the dialog will allow you to copy & paste the Seed Number of the
selected device for e.g. ordering Licenses.
Adding New License Keys
To add a new license key for a device, please enter the characters from the license sticker to
the boxes provided. The License Manager will automatically move the caret across the edit
boxes as you type. If you have the key in text format, copy it and paste to the leftmost box.
Once the license key is fully entered, click the Install. The license is authenticated and if it
is valid, the license will appear in the list of installed licenses. If the key fails to
authenticate, an error message is displayed. If this happens, please make sure that you have
typed the key correctly and that the seed number on the license key sticker matches the seed
number displayed seed number for the device.
Please note that to avoid confusion, some letters will never appear in a license key because
they resemble numbers: For example, capital 'G' and number '6' are very similar when
printed with small font. When in doubt, use numbers.
Also, please notice, that characters that can't be part of valid license key are not accepted as
input. When appropriate an automatic conversion is applied while typing: For example,
lower case letters are converted to upper case automatically.
Managing Installed Licenses
The Installed licenses list shows all currently installed licenses for the currently selected
device. The list shows the actual license key, and what that key unlocks.
Remove Selected will uninstall selected licenses. To uninstall a license, click on the license
and then click the Remove Selected button.
Export will allow you to save all installed licenses for the currently selected device into an
INI file for backup and distribution to other PCs. Please notice that licenses from multiple
devices can be exported into the same INI file.
Import will install licenses from an INI file for the currently selected device.
