2.0 Using TR122 Software

The TR122 comes with a turnkey software package which allows the user to quickly take

advantage of all instrument features in a standalone configuration. This software is designed to

coexist with other instruments as well as to allow multiple TR122 instruments to be installed and

operated in the same CPCI crate. Installation of the software is discussed in section 1.2 above.

The software is designed to have the look and feel of an oscilloscope to take advantage of user

familiarity with such instruments, while supporting features unique to a transient recorder. This

discussion assumes that the user is familiar with the operation of an oscilloscope.

Upon starting the TR122 software, a splash screen will be displayed while the software

searches for and configures a TR122 device in the system. The software will locate a TR122

which is not already in use and complain if one can not be found. Assuming a TR122 is found, a

clicking of relays can be heard as the software configures the unit to default settings. The control

panel screen shown in Figure 2.1 will appear and its title bar will indicate the serial number of

the TR122 which is being operated. This serial number corresponds to that found on the card

ejector lever of the instrument. To reconnect this instance of the control panel to another TR122

instrument in the system use the Select item under the Device menu. The software prevents more

than one control panel instance from addressing a single TR122 instrument.
