Overview - Starting a New Measurement
This overview shows how the graphical interface is used to configure
the logic analysis system for simple measurements.
1. Connect the appropriate probing (see page 177) to your target system.
2. From the System window, (see page 14) select the desired Instrument tool
icon, then select Setup.
When you select a tool icon and select Setup, two things occur. First, a
set of tabbed setup windows for the selected Instrument tool appear.
Next, the commonly required Display tools are automatically
connected to the Instrument tool in the Workspace window. (see
page 59)
3. From the Setup windows that appear, configure the appropriate
parameters for the measurement you are performing.
For example, a logic analyzer will require specific pod, clock, and
channel assignments. Also, a trigger specification is required if you
want the measurement to start at a specific point in the execution of
the target system. See "Setting up Instrument Tools" below.
4. Select the Navigate field, and the Slot/Module used, then select the
desired Display tool. The Display tool is used to show the captured data
set. In addition to viewing captured data, use Display tools to place
markers.
5. From any open window, select Run.
Setting up Instrument Tools
Depending on the Instrument tool used and the type of measurement
being made, the setup varies. For more specific information on
configuring Instrument tools, refer to the following list of tools (see
page 18).
