Warning
Lethal voltages exist inside the TraNET instrument. Only qualified technicians
of supplier staff are authorized to open the TraNET case. Otherwise warranty
will be lost!
Always ensure that power cord is removed before opening
the case.

2. Introduction
2.1 Variants of TraNET Models
Elsys provides several different TraNET device models.
Note: This manual refers to TraNET FE only!
2.1.1 TraNET FE
TraNET FE (Frontend Unit): Depending of the number and type of channels, there exist a couple
of different models. These devices works as a LAN server. It always requires an Ethernet Link to
a client computer (e.g. a Notebook PC) for operation.

2.2 Requirements of the Client Computer
For using the data acquisition software TranAX, the following minimal client computer config-
uration should be advised:
• PC (Notebook, Desktop PC, IPC etc.)
• Intel i5 or better (at least 2.0 GHz recommended)
• Full HD Graphic display 1920x1080 pixels or higher
• 4 GB RAM minimum, recommended 8 GB
• Hard disk with sufficient free space for programs and possible storage of measuring data (at
least 100 GB recommended)
• GBIT Ethernet port
• Windows 10 Professional, 64 Bit
2.1.2 TraNET EPC
TraNET EPC: IPC based instrument. Individual configu-
rations up to 32 channels per device can be realized.
The device works under Windows operating system.
If only local operation is used, Ethernet link is not re-
quired (data acquisition operating software TranAX
runs on the instrument itself).
2.1.3 TraNET PPC
TraNET PPC: Portable PC with installed monitor and
keyboard. Individual configurations up to 24 channels
per device can be realized. The device works under
Windows operating system. If only local operation is
used, Ethernet link is not required (data acquisition
operating software TranAX runs on the instrument it-
self).
For TraNET EPC and TraNET PPC consult the corresponding PC manuals and the manual of the
TPCE modules.

2.3 Basic Mode of Operation
TraNET FE devices are based on an embedded microcomputer with a hard disk, a Gigabit Eth-
ernet controller and a PCIe bus interface to control the installed TPCE-Modules. The firmware
runs under a Linux operating system.
TraNET FE operates via Ethernet Link as a TCPI/IP Server. A simple point to point connection to a
client PC (e.g. Notebook PC) allows an easy installation. Otherwise it can be connected to any
existing LAN and allows remote operation. For establish a WIFI connection, an additional WIFI
router must be used.
There are four different operation modes in which the data acquisition instrument can be used.
Any of these operation modes are ready to use in all driver interfaces or in the Application soft-
ware.
2.3.1 Scope
In Scope mode the device runs like an Oscilloscope. Incoming data from the ADC are written
into the on-board memory until a trigger condition occurs. After the trigger condition, the
measurement continuous until the post-trigger time is over and stops. The length of the mea-
surement is limited by the maximum memory available on the board.
2.3.2 Multi-Block
Multi-Block Mode works like the Scope mode but with the addition that the available on-board
memory is splitted up in several blocks. On each trigger, a new part of the memory is used. This
way, the on-board memory can be used more effective than in the Scope mode. The maximum
number of blocks is limited by the block size and the available memory.
2.3.3 Continuous
In the Continuous mode incoming data from the ADC‘s are buffered on the on-board memory
an then transfered immediately to the built-in hard disk of the device. The maximum recording
length is only limited by the hard disk size. The amount of data produced per second depend on
the used sampling rate and the number of activated channels. If the data rate is higher than the
PCIe interface or the hard-disk write throughput, some data from the on-board buffer get lost.

2.3.4 ECR (Event Controlled Recording)
This mode is optional!
The ECR mode allows targeted acquisition of cyclic or sporadically arising events. This implies
that the registration of measuring data only occurs if certain signal conditions (trigger, time
window, repetitions, etc.) are fulfilled. Thus many unwanted and unneeded signal data will not
be stored.
• The digitalized signal will be stored to the
on-board memory which acts as a ring
buffer.
• As soon as the trigger is released, a block
of samples will be read from the ring buf-
fer and will be saved to the hard disk.
• If a new trigger event within the actual
block occurs, a new overlapping block will
be saved.
• If the ring buffer is full, the oldest mea-
surement data will be overwritten with
new incoming data. Usually, the over-
written data would be transferred to the
hard disk before this happens. If too many
events occur in a period of time, the ring
buffer may overflow.
2.4.2 ECR Dual Mode
An other feature of ECR is the “Dual Mode”. It allows to store a continuous measurement at a
slower sampling rate than the captured blocks. For example fast transient can be captured at 10
MS/s by the triggered blocks while storing slower signals at 100 kHz over a long period of time.

2.4 Network Drive
The data from the internal SSD or external USB drive can be accessed over a shared network
drive. Just type “\\IPAddress” (ex. \\192.168.0.33) in your address field of the Windows File
Explorer and you will see the shared folder “Measurement Data”. Files generated during the
measurement are named with the extention .tmp and can’t be removed. They will be renamed
after terminating the measurement.
2.4.1 SMB 1.0 Access
TraNET devices of the generation 2 are using the samba file sharing protocol SMB 1.0. This ver-
sion is not longer supported by Windows 10 by default. For accessing Gen. 2 devices, the SMB
1.0/CIFS client support must be activated manually in the Windows Feature Settings:

3. TraNET Client PC Connection Guide
The TraNET device communicates over an Ethernet connection with the client PC. This section
describes all important points for setting up the connection successfully.
3.1 IP Address Configuration
The factory default adress configuration of a TraNET FE is
Static IP 192.168.0.33
In order to setup up a connection to the TraNET FE device, the client computer must be config-
ured to a static IP address in the same IP range, for example 192.168.0.34.
Once a successful connection is established, the IP configuration can be changed on the device
web page by typing the IP address of your device in your web browser.
3.1.1 DHCP
For using a connected DHCP server, activate “DHCP” on the LAN Configuration page and press
on “Save”. The device will reboot and tries to get a valid IP address from the DHCP server.
If the device does not obtain a valid IP address from a DHCP server, the device will assign an
Auto IP address in the address range from 169.254.0.0 to 169.254.255.255. If device is con-
nected to a Windows client through a 1:1 connection, Windows will assign automatically an IP
address in the same range as the TraNET.
By clicking on the “On” button under “Device Identification” the NET LED on the device will starting
blinking. This can be used for verifying that you are connected to the right device. Click on “Off” for
leaving the blinking mode
