Initializing the Performance Test Setup

Complete the following procedure to initialize the performance test setup. It is assumed
you have configured the host computer and device as described in Configuring the
Performance Test Setup, earlier in this chapter. Testing begins with the device and host
computer unpowered. This assures that at power-up self-tests are completed successfully,
the correct host computer Ethernet port is activated, the host computer configuration is
accurately reflected, and other background operations are completed. This procedure
clears the device of any existing BCN, Line Frequency, and Network settings.
1. Apply Device Power with Configuration Reset Hold down the COMM key on the
device front panel and apply power to the device. After the device beeps and
momentarily displays "rESEt" (Reset), release the COMM key. If any self-test errors
are reported on the front panel display, refer to Self-Test Diagnostics and Error
Codes in this chapter. Configuration Reset sets the device to the default parameters:
BCN=1, Line Frequency=60, and Isolated Network.
2. Set the Line Frequency If the ac power applied to your device is 60 Hz (default),
continue to Step 3. If the ac power applied to your device is 50 Hz, complete this
step.
Press the COMM key for three seconds, until a beep is heard and the SET
annunciator in the display is lit. Press the up/down arrow keys until LinE (Line
Frequency) is displayed in the primary display. Press the ENTER key. Press the
up/down arrow keys until 50 (50 Hz) is displayed in the primary display. Press the
ENTER key.
3. Apply Host Computer Power Apply power to the host computer.
4. Open Fluke DAQ Software You can use Start | Programs, double-click on a setup
file shortcut on the Windows desktop, or double-click on a setup file name in the
Windows Explorer or File Manager.
5. Select New Insert the device to be verified – 2680A or 2686A.
