The identification number of the currently selected module formation m The contents of clusters This menu provides the mechanisms for changing module formations and creating clusters These mechanisms are discussed in the following paragraphs of this chapter The modules in the logic analyzer are automatically arranged into module formations For systems with more than one module the system software assigns a module formation identification number to each valid combination The default module formation selection appears the first time you call the System Configura tion menu By changing the module formation number you can view the various module formations for that type A module formation consists of one or more similar type modules and each module may contain one or more cards of that type In the case of the TLA 520 Logic Analyzer the default module formation is made of two 92C96 Modules For example suppose your logic analyzer contains two 92C96 Modules System software establishes the valid combinations when you power on the logic analyzer and assigns each combination a module formation number A module formation identified by number now exists for the 92C96 Modules The System Configuration menu looks similar to Figure 3 1 3 1 Reference F Fa DEFTRE CHLHGE CLUSTER CONFIG J j PEF FIA a wee hhh Ea i ie E E E p E ee ee poo Figure 3 1 System Configuration Menu The System Configuration menu has the
