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
instruments. 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
oscilloscope can be physically
connected with standard BNC
and LAN connections. 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 standard in the logic
analyzer’s application 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
waveforms 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 Instantly validate the logical and timing relationships between
display the analog and digital portions of your design. View oscilloscope
and logic analyzer waveforms integrated into a single logic
analyzer waveform display.
Automatic Save time and gain confidence in measurement results with
measurement de-skew measurements that are automatically de-skewed in time.
Cross trigger the Start your debug approach from either the analog or digital
logic analyzer and domain with the flexibility to trigger the oscilloscope from the
oscilloscope 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.
