Ensure that the "Staccato Wireless USB Host Wire Adapter" and "Staccato Wireless USB Radio Control" drivers are properly loaded. These drivers are visible in the Windows Device Manager under "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" when viewing in "Devices by type" mode selected from the "View" dropdown menu.In order to start the graphical user interface to control the operation of the WLX-2007, double click on the "Ripcord Diag FCC" icon on the desktop. Alternatively, Ripcord Diag FCC can be selected from the start menu. It is located in the "Staccato FCC" folder as shown in Figure 4-1 below. Figure 4-1 Start Menu
OperationWLX-2007 User Guide Page 15Doc. No. E-PR-2006-0162 v0.3 Staccato CommunicationsOnce the graphical user interface has loaded, the screen shown in Figure 4-1 will be available to control the WLX-2007 in various test modes. Initially, click on "Tune PLLs." Next, click "Check PLLs". This will check to see that the PLLs are locked and tuned correctly. If the PLLs are locked, the messages "PLL1 Locked" and "PLL2 Locked" will appear below the "Check PLLs" button.After the PLLs have been tuned, the desired operational mode can be set. By default, the system should be in "Ready" mode at startup. Standby mode will put the system in a mode where it will not be capable of trans-mission, as such Ready mode is required to be set during transmitSimilarly, either 53.3 Mbps or 480 Mbps mode may be selected for any specific test. By default, 53.3 Mbps mode is used.The buttons for "Restart", "Phy Reset", and "Restart and Init PHY" can be used to set the silicon into the modes specified. However, for ease of use and test repeatability it is recommended to close the FCC test application, remove the USB cable from the device, re-attach the USB cable and re-enumerate the WLX-2007, and start the operation process from the beginning.The "Get Temp" button, "Read" button, "Write" button, and the two text fields for Register Address and Register Data are used for internal debug purposes and should not be used during any tests.Figure 4-1 WLX-2007 Config Screen
