4-2 Theory of Operation
4.2 Computer – The WaveRunner 6000 processor is a 1.7 GHz or 2.0 GHz Intel
Celeron motherboard or better. This assembly will change more often than other
assemblies due to the volatility of PC motherboards.
4.2.1 Operating System – The system uses Microsoft Windows 2000 as the
operating system. The operating system license can be found on the rear
panel of the instrument.
4.2.2 Memory – The standard memory configuration for a WaveRunner 6000 is
256MB, consisting of 1 piece of 32M x72 Bit PC2100 SDRAM DIMM. If option
L or VL is installed into the acquisition system then the processor RAM needs
to be 512MB.
4.2.3 Interfaces – The standard interfaces provided by the PC Motherboard are
SVGA, Audio, Ethernet, RS-232, Centronics and USB. .
4.2.4 Storage Devices – The system has an internal hard drive of at least 40 GB in
size. 5 GB is allocated for LeCroy use, the balance is in a user partition for the
saving of panel setups, waveform memory, hard copies, application programs,
user data, etc. The system also includes a CD-ROM drive. The CD-ROM drive
requires an adapter PCA to provide the interconnection to the ribbon cable
which makes connection to the motherboard.
4.2.5 CMOS Settings – The BIOS version is locked so that the System recovery CD
will only work on WaveRunner 6000 scope. Changes can still be made to BIOS
settings if needed, the lock is only relevant to the use of the System Recovery
CD.
