Active Probe and the iC5700 connecting guidelines

1. Connect the iC5700 GND and the target GND using the Grounding wire delivered with the
iC5700.
If the Grounding wire is not connected, the ground potential difference between the BlueBox
hardware and the target can exceed well over 1000V even before any of the devices are
powered up. This voltage difference is discharged over the BlueBox hardware and the target
system, leading to the possible destruction of electronic components within the BlueBox
hardware, the target or both. Refer to winIDEA Help
information.
2. Connect the iC5700 Power Supply to the mains outlet and the iC5700.
3. Connect the iC5700 to the PC via the supplied Ethernet or USB 3.0 cable.
4. Connect the Active Probe to the iC5700 FNet Port through the supplied FNet Micro
Cable.
If a cable longer than 1.0m is required (for example when debugging an ECU in a vehicle or a
confined space), optional 3.0m and 5.0m FNet Micro cables are available from iSYSTEM.
Although it looks similar to the HDMI interface, the FNet Port is not compatible with
HDMI or any HDMI accessories.
Connecting iSYSTEM hardware to HDMI accessories will damage the hardware and will
render the iSYSTEM hardware warranty void.
