Assembling Your Analyzer
This chapter describes how to assemble and set up your analyzer. It provides a brief description
and an associated diagram showing the instrument’s components and the various input and
output connections. This enables you to start getting familiar with the instrument, while
assembling a system.
This is followed by an overview of the hardware components, showing all the main
configurations of the instrument and its accessories.
Finally, instructions are provided that explain how to assemble standard and optional hardware
components used in your system. Once you have followed the assembly instructions, your hand-
held analyzer will be ready to make measurements.
2.1 Determining Your Hardware Version
Over the years, the analyzer hardware has had a few updates. The most significant update
happened in 2012 with the introduction of hardware version 4 (also known as G4). To check if
your analyzer uses G4 hardware, click in the Shortcut Bar at the bottom of the display
screen, and select About. The About menu will list the hardware and software versions
currently installed.
2.1.1 What is Different with G4 Hardware?
The differences in the G4 hardware compared to previous versions include:
• A brighter screen which is easier to view in direct sunlight
• The CF card slot is removed and replaced by a second SD card slot to take advantage of
the SD format’s dominance in the storage and Wi-Fi markets
• The USB connector changed from USB 1.1 Mini B to USB 2.0 Micro AB. Besides the
faster connection speeds of USB 2.0, the Micro USB connector is more common
• A second standard USB Type A socket was added for easier connection to USB
peripherals like modems, printers, GPS receivers, and USB to RS–232 adaptors
