TLA 700 Series Installation Manual

Installing TPI
Use these procedures to install the TLA 700 Programmatic Interface (TPI). In
these procedures, client refers to the user written application that controls the
logic analyzer through the TPI. Server refers to the TLA 700 application
software. For additional information on installation, refer to the online help.
You have two methods of using TPI with your client application:
H You can run the client application locally on the logic analyzer. No special
setup is required. To verify that a client application can connect to the
TLA 700 server, see Running a Client Application on the Logic Analyzer.
H You can run your client application remotely across the network. In this case,
both the logic analyzer and the remote host require special setup procedures.
See Setting Up TPI for Remote Access on the Logic Analyzer to begin this
setup procedure.
In the following procedures, <install directory> refers to the directory where the
TPI client is installed on your client machine. This directory is C:\Program
Files\TLA 700 by default.
If you need to use the type library (tla700.tlb), this file will be located in
C:\Program Files\TLA 700\System\TPI on the logic analyzer and/or in the
<install directory>\System\TPI on your client machine.
To verify that a client application on the logic analyzer can connect to the
TLA 700 application, do the following steps:
1. Start the TLA 700 application on the logic analyzer.
2. Navigate to and run the following program: C:\Program Files\
TLA 700\Samples\TPI Samples\Vc++\test client\testclient.exe
3. The Tektronix Test TPI Client dialog appears. Click the Connect to
TLA 700! button.
4. Check that the text in the dialog changes to Connected! This indicates the
test client application connected to the logic analyzer. Click Exit.
The client application will run locally on the logic analyzer. For remote
operation, see Setting Up TPI for Remote Access on the Logic Analyzer.
If you want to run a client application remotely across the network, you must set
up the logic analyzer using the following procedure:
1. Install and configure TCP/IP. (networking)
