When using the analyzer, it is recommended to use a system to generate bus traffic and a
second system to run the software, to avoid characterization of analyzer traffic.
Connecting in General
Note:
You must install the software before connecting the analyzer to the host machine for the first
time.
To set up the analyzer:
1. Plug the power adapter into the unit, and then plug the power adapter into a 100V–
240V, 50Hz–60Hz, power outlet. Turn on the Power switch.
At power on, the analyzer will go through initialization as shown on the LCD display.
2. Connect the USB cable between the Sierra M6‐4 USB port and a USB port on the
Host PC. The host PC operating system detects the analyzer and driver files.
3. Connect the analyzer as shown in Figure 1.4.
