Page 5: Introduction
Note: This manual refers to TraNET FE only! 2.1.1 TraNET FE TraNET FE (Frontend Unit): Depending of the number and type of channels, there exist a couple of different models. These devices works as a LAN server. It always requires an Ethernet Link to a client computer (e.g. -
Page 6: Requirements Of The Client Computer
TraNET FE User Guide 2.1.2 TraNET EPC TraNET EPC: IPC based instrument. Individual configu- rations up to 32 channels per device can be realized. The device works under Windows operating system. If only local operation is used, Ethernet link is not re- quired (data acquisition operating software TranAX runs on the instrument itself). - Page 7 Linux operating system. TraNET FE operates via Ethernet Link as a TCPI/IP Server. A simple point to point connection to a client PC (e.g. Notebook PC) allows an easy installation. Otherwise it can be connected to any existing LAN and allows remote operation.
- Page 8 TraNET FE User Guide 2.3.4 ECR (Event Controlled Recording) This mode is optional! The ECR mode allows targeted acquisition of cyclic or sporadically arising events. This implies that the registration of measuring data only occurs if certain signal conditions (trigger, time window, repetitions, etc.) are fulfilled.

TraNET FE User Guide 2.4 Network Drive The data from the internal SSD or external USB drive can be accessed over a shared network drive. Just type “\\IPAddress” (ex. \\192.168.0.33) in your address field of the Windows File Explorer and you will see the shared folder “Measurement Data”. Files generated during the measurement are named with the extention .tmp and can’t be removed. -

The factory default adress configuration of a TraNET FE is Static IP 192.168.0.33 In order to setup up a connection to the TraNET FE device, the client computer must be config- ured to a static IP address in the same IP range, for example 192.168.0.34. - Page 11 Someone has maybe already changed the IP Address already. Set the device to DHCP and AUTO IP mode: • Switch off the TraNET FE device, press and hold the button in the hole next to the LED “Ready”, power-on the device and wait until the LED “Ready” blinks permanently.

TraNET FE User Guide 4.1 Time and Synchronization Settings The TraNET FE device is equipped with a real time clock which is battery driven. This time is used for: • Generating the “Last calibrated on” time stamp • Generating timestamps for log entries in the system log file •... - Page 14 FE or 3rd part devices with the help of the PTP time synchronization protocol. The TraNET FE can either be the master clock or a client clock. If any master clock is available in the network, the TraNET FE will automatically sync on that clock, when the clock is running in the same clock domain.
