2. Starting WX Navi
2.1. Initial setting
2.1.1. About IP address of computer and WX-7000
To establish a connection with the PC, you need to specify the same subnet mask and IP addressof the same network segment as the PC. Modify the settings (such as the IP address of the
WX-7000 series or the PC) as necessary. IPv4 is only abele to be used. Consult your network
administrator when connecting the WX-7000 series to your network per the following information.
Basic knowledge about the Windows network system is required to set the network connection
parameters.
2.1.2. Default setting of WX-7000
The default settings of the WX-7000 Series are as follows. Modify the settings (such as the IP
address) as necessary. How to change: Click the portion of the IP address in WX Network dialogue
to display WX Property dialogue. You can create settings for parameters of the IP address orrecorder name (Name). (For detail of the settings, refer to the next item of “Starting Program”)
IP Address

192.168.0.10

Subnet mask

255.255.255.0

Gateway

0.0.0.0

DHCP client

DISABLE

2.1.3. About security software
If you establish a firewall on your PC or install virus check software, you may not connect the WX.
Check the security level of the program on your PC. The ports to be used at WX Navi are as
follows:
Control port

49408 (TCP)

Data transfer port

49664 (TCP)

UDP port

49920 (UDP)

2.1.4. Use the 1000BASE-T LAN interface
To communicate at 1Gbps, all devices in the path from the WX-7000 to the controller PC must
support 1Gbps. Use a cable that is Category 7 or better.
Depending on the network environment being used, it is possible that you will encounter delays indata transmission or congestion in processing. In such a case, try the following to improve thesituation:
Set your Windows to not to use the unnecessary protocols such as IPv6 WX-7000.
Reduce the number of broadcast packets as much as possible.
Use a communications path that does not pass through a router as much as possible.

10In a situation such as when the WX-7000 is in a remote location and communications areconstrained by low-speed paths, use the WX-7000 with a reduced sampling rate or/and reduced
number of recording channels.
The WX-7000 LAN interface carries out TCP connection continuous communications. However, if apacket from the other party does not arrive within 180 seconds, a timeout occurs and the otherparty is automatically disconnected. So, in the event that a normal termination was not possible
because of some problem, such as a PC hang-up or disconnected cable, wait 180 seconds andthen try reconnecting.
The WX-7000 can be operated as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) client, but if an
IP address cannot be obtained within 30 seconds after startup, the WX-7000 starts those usual
operations with a fixed IP address.
2.1.5. About Firewall
If the screen of Windows Security Warning is displayed after first running of WX Navi, disable
Windows firewall block.

For standard firewall of Microsoft Windows, click “Turn Windows Firewall on or off” and “Off“(notrecommended because these networks often have little or no security)”.
2.1.6. Launching WX Navi with the next step
After installation, connect the PC and WX-7000 and PC, launch WX Navi.
Do not run the application software which uses large amount of memory at the same time withWX Navi.
2.1.7. On the WX-7000 recording unit, push up the power switch to turn it on.
When the power is turned on, the input amp is automatically calibrated. During calibration, theinput amp LED will blink. When it finishes, the LED will turn off.

11

2.1.8. Start WX Navi
After WX Navi starts, if you power off the WX-7000 recording unit or remove the cable, WX Naviwill display an error message and terminate. In such a case, if you turn the power back on orreconnect the cable, and then restart WX Navi, the WX-7000 can again be recognized.
In the case of the WX-7000, if you power off the WX-7000 recording unit or remove the LAN cable,
not only will communications fail, but also the network will experience congestion in processing.
Make sure to close WX Navi first to detach the WX-7000 from the network. Do not power off the
WX-7000 before closing WX Navi. Do not power off the WX-7000 before closing WX Navi.
2.1.9. Do not put the PC into standby /sleep mode.
If the PC enters a standby/sleep/hibernation status while WX Navi is being used, communications
will cease, and a timeout will cause a disconnection.Please ensure not to make setting of standby,
sleep, hibernation status on Windows Settings of Power Options while WX Navi is being used.
Please be noted that the settings of standby or sleep status might have been selected as a default
setting right after purchasing especially for notebook PC.
2.1.10. Please do not operate the computer background tasks
While Windows Update, scan disk, defrag, Indexing Service, Super Fetch and other tasks isrunning, processing power of the computer is reduced, you may record at a high sampling ratecannot be maintained. Set your PC so that these features do not work.
Also, please set so as not to run the scheduled task and the other tasks, such as reducing theprocessing power of the PC.
Please consult your administrator of the computer for the detail.

122.1.11. WX-7000 select window
Following dialog box appear, when WX Navi launches.

Check the box at the serial field WX Network dialog box by confirming that the white-out box has
appeared and the correct serial number are displayed, and then click OK. In addition, a previously
used serial number will automatically contain a check in the box.
If the whiteout box has not appeared, follow the next contents for a proper set up.
2.1.12. WX-7000 Network Configuration
The upper part lists the WX-7000 series that exist in the same segment. If you click where theaddress or the name is displayed in the list area, the following WX Property dialog box will appear.
In this dialog box, you specify settings, such as the IP address parameters and the recorder name(name). Enter the address parameters that match the network environment that you are using.
You can use any string of up to 32 characters for the name. This name is displayed in the list at
startup. So, use a name that differentiates the particular WX-7000 series from any others. If the
DHCP system is available for the network environment that you are using, the IP Address
parameters can be obtained automatically. So, in case that you want to set the IP Address
parameters automatically, turn on the check box of the DHCP. Consult your network administrator
to confirm whether or not the DHCP system is available for the network environment that you areusing.

13

Click the OK button to apply the IP address parameters for the WX-7000 series. It is not necessary
to restart the WX-7000 series. It takes a few seconds for the changed settings to actually takeeffect. So, wait at least 5 seconds and then connect to the WX-7000 series. If the list is not
updated or the entry disappears from the list, click the Update List button to update the list.
2.1.13. Already being used WX-7000
If the WX-7000 series is already being used for another PC, a red check mark is displayed and USE
is displayed in the status field. In such a case, you cannot connect to that WX-7000 series.

If a TCP connection is not possible because of a problem such as an incorrect IP address for thesame segment, a grey check box will be displayed along with IP ERR in the status field. In thatcase, specify an appropriate IP address or check the IP address settings (Subnet mask, Gateway,etc.) between the PC and the WX-7000, and then connect to the WX-7000 series.
2.1.14. Connecting to an WX-7000 series that exists in a different segment
When connecting to a WX-7000 that exists in a different segment (and, for example, going
beyond the router), select the IP Direct check box, enter the address of the device to beconnected, and then click.
When multiple WX-7000 series are found in the same segment, the dialog box appears as shown
above. In such a case, select the check box of the WX-7000 series to be connected, and click the
OK button.
During a real time PC recording, the speed of the data transfer cannot catch up to the recording
throughput a time unit depending on the PC specification, operating status of OS, traffic status of
network, sampling setting, and etc. In this scenario, the recording will stop automatically whenthe memory buffer of the WX becomes full with un-transferred data. Please note that the upper
limit setting shown in the recording condition might not be suitable for real time PC recording.

14

If, by using WX Navi, multiple WX units are connected to a single PC, the waveform settings andthe data folder settings of each WX may conflict with others because the WX Navi shares thecommon save area. So that every PC has its own WX within a multi environment, use a separate
PC for each WX.
The Main Window will be displayed by starting WX Navi when the connection is completed.
See “Section 3 Introduction to WX Navi”.

10.1. Remarks in using WX Navi
The followings are remarks that users should be aware of in using WX Navi while operating
WX-7000 recorders in synchronization mode.
10.1.1. The two WX-7000 recorders which operate in synch must be connected to thesame subnet.
Since connection check commands are issued through LAN, both the Master unit and the Slave
unit must be connected to the same subnet.
10.1.2. No other WX-7000 recorders than the Master and Slave units are to beconnected to the subnet.
In the case that other WX-7000 recorders than the Master and Slave unit are connected to thesubnet, operation is not guaranteed.
10.1.3. When you run two WX Navi software for two WX-7000s recorders operating in
synch, each WX Navi must be run on the another PC.
As mentioned in previous section, only one WX Navi can be run on a PC. If multiple WX Navi
software is run on a PC and connected with the Master and Slave unit, operation is notguaranteed.

10.2. Cable connection
10.2.1. Synchronization cable
Make sure that the Master and Slave units are connected through synchronization cable before
being turned on. Please refer to the WX-7000 Owner’s Manual for details on cable connection.
10.2.2. Ethernet cable
All WX-7000 recorders to be operated in synch need to be connected to Ethernet hub through
Ethernet cables. For more details, please refer to section 3-3 Connection with computers andoscilloscopes in the WX-7000 Owner’s Manual.
