Overview - Multiple Analyzer Configuration
Overview - Multiple Analyzer Configuration
A multiple analyzer configuration consists of both analyzers from the
same logic analyzer instrument tool used together in a measurement.
In this type of configuration, each analyzer captures its own data set.
All data sets are then viewed in one or more display tools.
Configuration Shown in the Workspace Window
Important elements of a multiple analyzer configuration are the
arming control and the time correlation of the separate data sets.
There is no analyzer-to-analyzer skew adjustment.
The Arming Control
When using both analyzers in a measurement, you must coordinate the
run function of both analyzers. This is done by the Arming Control in
the analyzer's Trigger window. By configuring the Machine Arming
Tree (see page 110), you route the arming signal through both
analyzers.
When the measurement is run, the arming signal notifies each analyzer
in the Arming Tree when it's their turn to run. Depending on the
purpose of the measurement, all analyzers could trigger immediately
when the arm signal is received, or, each analyzer could trigger
according to its own trigger specification.
The arming signal can originate either when the measurement is run,
(see page 113) or by an external source connected through a Port In
connector.
Time Correlation of Data Sets
When multiple analyzers have their arming control coordinated to an
