  18. Hardware Demo using the 2680A-DEMO Kit ( for Representatives and Customers using the 2680A-DEMO Kit ) The Following section offers basic instructions for the operation of the 2680A-DEMO Kit. This section shows how to setup the demonstration 2680A simulator hardware and connect the demonstrator to Fluke DAQ software on your laptop computer.

  19. Hardware DEMO - First Steps ( for Representatives and Customers using the 2680A-DEMO Kit ) • Install Fluke DAQ Software from your CD • Initialize , read, erase PC card in the 2680A • Connect the Demo Simulator to Slot # 1 and Slot # 6 • Connect the “RED” Ethernet cable between your computer and the 2686A. • Open the “Sample” or “Demo”. cfg file. • Select Isolated network • Verify communications • Start Scanning • Exercise Visual Guide starting on slide #1

  20. Setting Up Your Computer’s Network Settings Set your computer’s Ethernet communications. This example is for Win 2000 but the basics are similar in other systems. The basic menu progressions are: Start > control panel > LAN connections > TCPIP settings > Properties. Set a specific IP address (198.178.246.101) and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Change to this setting Local area connection found in Window’s control panel under Network Set IP and Subnet mask for Demo

  21. Install Demo Simulator DIO connector module Place in slot #6 • Knob controls are VDC (9V) and Ohms (3 Mega Ohms) • DIO LEDs are connected to DIO 0-2 • Totalizer switch pulses the Totalizer input at two selectable rates. Analog connector module Place in Slot #1 Note:If you do not have the simulator shown above you may use any input type connected to the analog input connector module for this demonstration. A thermocouple or 9 VDC battery for example, works well for this demonstration. You will simply need to change the configuration File to reflect the channel and type of signal you are using

  22. Install Modules Slot #6 – DIO Slot #2 – FAI Slot #1 – PAI

  23. Load Demo Configuration Your demo simulator is connected to the system using the configuration shown below in “demo.cfg” or “sample.cfg” depending on version. Make certain your modules are in the correct slot. In this case the PAI is in slot #1 and the FAI in slot #2. If you are not using the demo simulator You can develop your own .cfg file for the channel you are using. Set for Vdc 30 Volt scale - (VDC Control on simulator) Set for Ohms – 2W , 3M scale- (Ohms Control on simulator) DIO 0, 1, 2 are available for you to set using the Alarms on channels 101 and 201 This computed channel is set to average channel 201 and channel 101. Now that you are connected, exercise portions of the Fluke DAQ Program using this Visual Demo Guide as a reference THANK YOU !
