RCATS Auxiliary Mobile Platform Quick Start Guide
Introduction
The RCATS Auxiliary Mobile Platform (AMP) connects to XScale probes via USB
to allow use of new
devices, including some
handsets. This allows the
user to extend the testing
capabilities of the probe.
Note: A probe can
control only three cell
phone modules at any
time—including any
connected AMPs.
AMPs are installed in
racks that can hold and
provide power for up to three AMPs. The AMP Power indicator illuminates when
power is applied and the AMP Mobile indicator illuminates when it in use.
Installation and Usage
Follow the steps in Table 1 to install an AMP into your RCATS system.
Table 1. AMP Installation
Step Action Result
1. Shut down power to the probe. —
2. Install AMP into rack. —
a. If applicable, connect antenna to AMP. Note: See Figure 2.
b. Plug power source into AMP. Note: See Figure 2.
c. Connect the "USB" connection on the back of probe to the "TO
RCATS" connection on the back of the AMP using a USB cable. Note: See Figure 3
d. If more than one AMP is to be attached to the probe, daisy-chain the
AMPs by connecting the "TO AMP" connection on the back of an
installed AMP to the "TO RCATS" connection on the back of next
the AMP in the chain using a USB cable.
Note: See Figure 3.
3. Apply power to the probe. Probe firmware 7.0.9.x and
higher will automatically
detect the AMP.

Figure 3. Daisy-chaining AMPs
Modules in a probe use letter designations to facilitate testing. When AMPs are
attached to the probe, they assume the letter designations of modules depending on
(1) how many modules are in the probe they are attached to and (2) how many AMPs
are connected to the probe. Letter designations are shown in Table 2.

Table 3. AMP Removal
Step Action Result
1. Shut down power to the probe. —
2. Disconnect power, antenna, and
USB connections to AMP. —
3. Apply power to the probe Probe automatically reactivates the internal module of the
letter designation that the AMP had assumed per Table 2.
