Step 1. Connect the logic analyzer to the device under test
Step 1. Connect the logic analyzer to the device
under test
Before you begin setting up the logic analyzer for a measurement, you
need to physically connect the logic analyzer to your device under test.
There are several ways to connect logic analyzer probes to the device
under test:
• Using the general-purpose probes, the standard flying lead set, and
grabbers to connect to pins and leads in the device under test.
• By designing connectors (headers) into the device under test so that logic
analyzer probe cables and termination adapters can plug in directly.
• By designing connectors (headers) and terminations into the device under
test so that logic analyzer probe cables can plug in directly.
•Using an analysis probe to connect to microprocessors and standard
buses.
When using an analysis probe, the Setup Assistant guides you through the
connection and setup process for your particular logic analyzer and
analysis probe.
When connecting logic analyzer probes to the device under test:
1. Attach the logic analyzer probes to the device under test in a way that
keeps logically-related channels together.
2. Be sure to ground each pod.
