The system requirements for Silicon Explorer II and Silicon Explorer II
Lite are:
• Designer R1-2000 or later
• Pentium-133 or equivalent
• Microsoft Windows 95, 98 or NT
®
Silicon Explorer II and Silicon Explorer II Lite connect to a standard
serial port using an 8250 or 16550 UART. Establish communication via
the 9-Pin D-Sub connector.
Silicon Explorer II sets itself to Demo mode on installation. Choose the
desired port (COM1 through COM4) from the Port drop-down list in
the Device menu. The software continuously polls the hardware for
activity. Setting the port to the Demo mode prevents the application
from opening any COM ports on your system. The serial port saves
information in the "analyze.ini" file found in your Windows directory.
The default data transfer speed is 115,200 baud. At this speed data
transfer for the entire buffer is less than 15 seconds.
Note: Many notebook computers share the external COM port with a
built-in infrared (IR) port. You may have to enter your CMOS
setup menu to enable the external COM port.
