Agilent 16902A logic analyzer touch screen driver for windows XP needed
keitheevblog:
I've recently added a SATA card and SSD to an Agilent 16902A, which required some Windows XP finessing in order to get the proper drivers installed for the OS to boot. I did this previously on a 16900A without issue, but there was no touch screen present.
I can't, for the life of me, locate the proper Windows XP 32-bit drivers for the touchscreen. The DISPLAY portion works just fine at proper resolution, etc. I see (2) Agilent errors on bootup that say "the touchscreen failed to start."
There are no obvious missing drivers, errors in device manager, etc. I see various references, and I haven't fully unpacked the companies, relationships, who made what part.
When it boots I see a "CHIPS 65550 PCI & VL Accelerated VGA BIOS" screen. This is "Chips and Technologies" (then later Asiliant). I also see a reference to 3M Touchsystems SC4 in the UPDD control panel -- which appear to be detected on a COM port.
So far I've tried:
* eGalaxTouch_5.12.0 from MicroTouch
* MT7.14.9 from a 3M touchscreen provider
* UPDD 6.0.0.433
I saw some reference in another post saying the "3M touch driver v3.8.34" works fine on related equipment, but google turns up nothing for me.
Help!@# :)
Thanks

The 3M driver you mentioned is attached, feel free to try it.

When I experimented with adding a SATA drive to a 16900A / 16902A / 16903A analyzer I used an Sil3112 chipset SATA adapter card, which didn't require anything special to get a clean install of Windows XP from the OS recovery DVD. The OS recovery DVD image included the drivers for the Sil3112 adapter card, and the touch sreeen. The only thing I had to do after a clean install from the OS recovery DVD was to install the logic analyzer application.
In the end, I found that switching to a SATA SSD installation didn't make that much difference in the total elapsed time from power on to boot to the desktop with the logic analyzer application fully initialized and ready to go. Maybe most of the performance limitation comes from the 1GHz PIII processor and only 512MB of system memory.

Thanks Glen.
I used a Sil3114 card in both my 16900A and 16902A. In both cases, when using the recovery CD, the LA blue screened a 0x7B stop error, which means inaccessible boot device. I'd think the drivers for the Sil3112 and Sil3114 have to be very similar, so I'm surprised, and a bit perplexed, to hear that works. 16900-14121 for the system os refresh disc, right?
I think you're probably right about the perf limitation being the CPU/RAM but replacing these hard drives that are 15 to 20 years old has merit, at least from a reliability standpoint. When I look at the power on hours, I'm pretty sure these often ran 24/7 for at least some of their lifetime. My experience with HDDs seem that once we get over about 50K service hours, then it's definitely time to replace them. This one has 70k hours, or 8 years of run time.
Appreciate the reply!

Same here; however, to my relief, the high frequency whine from the HDD was gone when using the SSD.
I originally thought it was the fans making the whining noise ... or maybe it was me :-)
