Software: (top)

Supported Operating Systems: Microsoft Windows 98,ME,2000,XP,Vista32 or later compatible versions.
Multitasking environment The power of the Windows multitasking environment is utilised to run the analyzer software and user’s unit under test (UUT) software simultaneously (if the UUT is PC based).

Hardware that interfaces with the PC may be driven from the PC while real-time measurements are performed on the hardware. (The logic analyzer and UUT software are simultaneously run on the same PC). The analyzer and the user program may be viewed simultaneously in the Windows environment.
Ease of use: The software is very easy to use. Most functions are directly selectable by means of function buttons on the main screen.
User UUT application program launching: The user application program may be run from the analyzer program menu or from Windows.
Pre-trigger and post-trigger buffer setting: The data buffer is divided in pre- and post trigger sections. The pre-/post-trigger buffer relation may be changed in 1000 samples steps.
Display
No. of channels: Any number of channels may be displayed.
Channel/Group names User specified signal/group names
Display order: Channel display order user specified
Display Colors Specify colors for individual signals, background.
Zooming: Data zoom: All captured data may be viewed on one screen.
Zooming in to only a few samples displayed on the screen
Easy data display window sizing using the mouse.
Single capture Captures a single set of data
Continuous capture display: Unconditionally Continuous: Trigger forced internally and display updated with regular intervals.

Conditionally Continuous: Display updated when a trigger condition is detected. Any of the above trigger conditions may be set as described above. Updates the display each time a specified edge or pattern trigger condition is met
Cursors: T-trigger line: Indicates trigger position.

P-trigger line: Indicates trigger condition-1 position in case of condition-1 THEN condition-2 setting.

S-Cursor line: Indicates data search positions.

X, Y and Z-cursor: For time measurements.

The values of the X and Y cursor lines, where they intersect the signal lines are shown.
Time measurements: The time differences between any two cursor lines or trigger line may be displayed. Take measurement easily by clicking mouse on first edge and on second edge to get the time difference. The time difference may also be indicated as a frequency.
Edge snapping: Cursors (X, Y & Z) snap to signal edges for accurate time measurements. (Especially useful when the display is zoomed out so that one screen pixel represents more than one data sample).

The signal edges to which the cursors lines have been snapped are indicated
Pattern search: Any channel conditions may be searched for. 1, 0 and don't care conditions specified.

Also repeated search
Printed output: The timing diagrams, bitmaps, binary and hex data, may be. Landscape and portrait.
Cursor to T-line accuracy T-Line onscreen: ± 1 sampling clock period (1.25 kHz to 500/200 MHz)
T-Line not onscreen (due to “large” ECT ):
200 MHz: 140ns.
100 MHz: 180ns.
50 MHz down to 1.25 MHz:
10 x sampling clock period
   
Trigger Methods: Pattern
(Pattern valid for any duration) 1,0, and "don't care" ("X") conditions selectable on all channels. The pattern must be valid for at least 20ns.
Pattern valid < Duration Glitch Capture. Pattern duration may be specified in steps of 20ns to 1 ms. Duration tolerance of ±20ns
Pattern valid > Duration Pattern duration may be specified in steps of 20ns to 1ms. Duration tolerance of ±20ns
Trigger Methods: Edge
Triggers On: Rising edge, falling edge, either rising or falling edge (change of state), of any one or combination of channels
Mouse/Keyboard Trigger may be forced.
Trigger Methods: Combination Pattern/Edge
Edge OR pattern Edge or pattern condition that occurs first will cause a trigger.
Edge AND Pattern For a trigger the edge condition must occur while the pattern condition is valid. The pattern must be valid for at least 20ns before the edge and 20ns after the edge.
Edge THEN Pattern The first condition is required before the second condition. At least 30ns is required from detection of the first condition to the second.
