Front Panel Touch Screen (Option 103)
Attached to the front panel assembly (in models ordered with
Option 103) is a Touch Screen Control module used to
implement the touch screen. The touch screen controller board
is a 3M SC801U. Mounted in front of the flat panel display is a
touch screen grid connected directly to the touch screen
controller. The controller interprets touch presses and
communicates with the host CPU via USB.
Power Up Routine
The power up routing includes the following:
• Boot sequence (more on page 175).
• Product install (more on page 178).
• Software recovery methods (more on page 178).
• Self test (more on page 179).
Boot Sequence
The 16800 Series logic analyzers ship with the Windows XP
Professional operating system. After power is applied to the
frame, the basic input/output system (BIOS) is the first thing to
run. Among other things, the BIOS is responsible for
enumerating plug-and- play (PnP) devices in the system and
doing a "power on self test" (POST). All of the CPU
(motherboard) RAM is checked during POST- - however, subtle
memory problems may not be detected by this simple test. If any
hardware that the BIOS detects is malfunctioning at a
fundamental level, then the BIOS reports an error to the display
(if available). If things are OK, control is turned over to the
operating system.
During startup, the Agilent logo is displayed by the system
BIOS, then a few other messages, and finally the preliminary
Windows XP startup screens.
During the first phase of the Windows startup, the kernel is
loaded along with various system drivers. Prior to the video
drivers loading, video is only displayed to the same video device
as the BIOS startup screen. Once the video drivers load, the
resolution will switch and eventually a logon screen will be
presented. The logon screen will appear on whichever video
adapter (LCD or external VGA) was displaying the Windows
desktop when the system was last shut down. It is possible to
get a blank screen. In this situation, you can press and hold the
"Touch Off" button on the front panel to open Intel's
