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. A 3-Com Ethernet card should be in the demo case and your Win 98 and Win 2000 operating systems should already have the drivers for this card and recognize the card upon booting up.
Hardware DEMO - First Steps ( for Representatives and Customers using the 2680A-DEMO Kit ) • Install an Ethernet card (3-Com Ethernet card provided in Demo Kit) and make Network communication changes shown on the next slide. • Install Fluke DAQ Software from 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

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