Unleash the Complementary Power of a Logic Analyzer and an Oscilloscope
Seamless scope integration
with View Scope
Easily make time-correlated
measurements between Agilent
logic analyzers and oscilloscopes.
The time-correlated logic analyzer
and oscilloscope waveforms are
integrated into a single logic analyzer
waveform display for easy viewing
and analysis. You can also trigger the
oscilloscope from the logic analyzer
(or vice versa), automatically de-skew
the waveforms and maintain marker
tracking between the two instru-
ments. Perform the following more
effectively:
• Validate signal integrity
• Track down problems caused by
signal integrity
• Validate correct operation of A/D
and D/A converters
• Validate correct logical and timing
relationships between the analog
and digital portions of a design
Connection
The Agilent logic analyzer and oscil-
loscope can be physically connected
with standard BNC and LAN connec-
tions. Two BNC cables are connected
for cross triggering, and the LAN
connection is used to transfer data
between the instruments. The View
Scope correlation software is stan-
dard in the logic analyzer’s applica-
tion software version 3.50 or higher.
The View Scope software includes:
• Ability to import some or all of the
captured oscilloscope waveforms
• Auto scaling of the scope wave-
forms for the best fit in the logic
analyzer display

Feature Benefit
Automated setup Quickly get to your first measurement using the logic analyzer’s
Help wizard for easy setup, regardless of which supported
Agilent oscilloscope you connect to.
Integrated
waveform display
Instantly validate the logical and timing relationships between
the analog and digital portions of your design. View oscilloscope
and logic analyzer waveforms integrated into a single logic
analyzer waveform display.
Automatic
measurement
de-skew
Save time and gain confidence in measurement results with
measurements that are automatically de-skewed in time.
Cross trigger the
logic analyzer and
oscilloscope
Start your debug approach from either the analog or digital
domain with the flexibility to trigger the oscilloscope from the
logic analyzer (or vice versa).
Tracking markers Precisely relate information on the oscilloscope’s display to the
corresponding point in time on the logic analyzer display with
tracking markers. The oscilloscope’s time markers automatically
track adjustments of the logic analyzer's global markers.
