File Timeout. This is not the same as the network timeout, which is
set on the computer. The logic analyzer file timeout is how long the
analyzer keeps a file in the active portion of memory. For slow network
connections, a large file timeout decreases the total time for a file
transfer. Too high a file timeout for a fast network connection can
actually slow file transfers because too much is in active memory. A
good guideline for file timeout is 150% of the average time it takes for
packets to go from source to destination.
Analyzer Name. The Analyzer Name is for user reference only. It
appears in the status files of the logic analyzer, and in the X Window
display. It is not the same as the IP name.
3If necessary, add the logic analyzer to your local network configuration.If you are doing a point-to-point connection, this step is unnecessary
because the computer and the logic analyzer only communicate with
each other.
For UNIX networks and PC networks based on a UNIX model, the
network software requires an entry for the logic analyzer before
another computer can talk to it. These entries are usually kept in a file
named /etc/hosts. The /etc/hosts file also associates an alias with the IP
address so that you can use a meaningful name rather than the IP
address.
Other styles of PC networks have different conventions. Consult your
LAN documentation or your local system administrator to see if you
need to do anything else.
