Theory of Operation

To sample an external signal source, the external signal is sent into the positive input port of the high-speed comparator via the input circuitry. The threshold circuit generates a threshold voltage according to the set values, and sends the voltage to the negative input port of the high-speed comparator. A TTL level digital signal is generated by the comparison of the 2 signals and then the digital signal is stored

synchronously in the data ip-latch by sampling clock. When sampling the internal code, the code generator will produce 30 channels of internal digital signals which are stored synchronously in the data iplatch by sampling clock. The sampling data in the data ip-latch are

www.globalspecialties.com Page 2

Model 3600 User Manual_B.indd 2 7/2/2010 4:41:40 PM

Users Manual Model 3600

stored in high-speed memory according to appointed addresses.

Selecting the internal clock timing sampling will set the cycle of the sampling clock. State sampling with the external clock will select the

phase of the sampling clock.

During the sampling storage period, a “sequence add 1 counter ” supplies the storage address for the high-speed memory in the memory

control circuit, each sampling clock makes the memory change to a new writing address. At the same time the ip-latch sends new sampling data, creating a new data point stored in memory. The start-up and

end of the address counter is determined by the memory control circuit according to the parameters set by the triggering process. After sampling storage, the microcontroller unit reads a series of data and

sends them to the LCD to display the timing waveform and data list.

www.globalspecialties.com Page 6

Model 3600 User Manual_B.indd 6 7/2/2010 4:41:43 PM

Users Manual Model 3600

Waveform Interface Display

The Waveform Interface displays 8 channels of timing waveforms, the serial number and the name of the waveform and includes four

different vertical cursor lines in varied colors. There is one scale on the

top of the waveform frame, and another one is on the bottom of the waveform frame. These are the zoom scales. The time value of every scale varies with the zoom coefcient. Below the waveform frame

is the parameters display frame, the six parameters on the left is the

state parameters which varies automatically with different operations, showing the current state of the equipment. The six parameters on the right is the parameters settings of the system and can be set with the

numeric pushbuttons.

Data Interface Display

The data interface displays 19 rows of data. Each row is one sampled

data point in memory, corresponding to 32 sample channels. The three columns of data from left to right is the address of data, the data

value in Decimal (Dec), the data value in Hex, the data value in Binary (Bin). The parameters display frame is below the data lists frame, the three parameters on the left are the state parameters which changes automatically with different operations, showing the current state

of the instrument. The 2 parameters on the right are the parameters

settings of the system and can be set with numeric pushbuttons.

Trigger Interface Settings

The trigger interface displays the whole trigger process. It utilizes a

graphical display mode to easily illustrate the entire triggering process. The panes in the display interface are the nodes of the trigger process.

The connecting lines among the panes show the direction of the trigger

process, six parameters can be set on the right, the left side has six

switches for setting. The specications of these settings are explained

later in this manual.

Operating Instructions

Initialization

Turn on the Model 3600 using the front panel ON/OFF pushbutton. The

model number and the manufacturer of the instrument will rst be

seen on the display. Operate the initialization program by loading the

www.globalspecialties.com Page 7

default parameter settings. Next the timing waveforms of internal code will be displayed.

Most of functions performed by the logic analyzer are single or non-

cyclical signals included in high speed data streams. The analyzer can’t display the signals in real-time on the screen as an oscilloscope would,

but it can sample the signals according to certain time rate (sample

clock). The analyzer will catch and save any signal anomalies by setting

up the appropriate trigger process. The saved data can be recalled onto the screen and analyzed repeatedly.

Keyboard Description

When any pushbutton is pressed, there is a corresponding display on

the screen which explains the function and its operation. If there is a circular symbol, consisting of two arrows laid end to end, on the left

of the explanation then it is a cycle key. It runs different functions by pressing it repeatedly. If there is no circular symbol, the pushbutton has only one function.

Parameters Input

If there are reverse numbers or characters displayed on the screen, this

means the parameter is a selected one which can be set by pressing

the pushbutton. If the user needs to select other data, 【↑】and【↓】 can be used. The user also can turn the knob left and right to select

other cyclical data. If a wrong character or number is input, the user

can delete the one by pressing【←】. As soon as the reverse character

areas are lled with numbers, the parameter settings take effect. At

this point the【←】will no longer work, unless the input process is restarted.

Letter Input

The 26 letters, from A to Z, are marked above 26 keys on the front panel. During the process of parameter input, press the【shift】key, release the shift key, then input the letter desired. If there is no letter on the key, the user can input a space. The【shift】key is a single step. In order to input the next letter, the process above is to be repeated.

Users Manual Model 3600

Channel Setting

Channel Order Setting

The double digit numbers 00-31 on the left side of the waveform

display frame are the serial numbers for each channel. Press【Channel】 key to select the channel serial number setting. Then set the channel sequence using the numeric keys. The settings only change the position

of channel waveforms on the screen so that different channels of waveforms can be closely displayed and easily compared. However

the real positions of sampling channels and the sampled data are not changed. If the real positions of sampling channels need to be changed, the user needs to change the connection of the test hooks for sampling on the circuit board.

Channel Label Setting

The four characters on the right of the channel serial numbers are the label of the channel. Press【Channel】key to select the channel label setting. Set the channel label by using the numeric keys or letter keys. Every channel label can be set by the user.

Channel Color Setting

Press【Channel】key to select the desired channel color setting. Set the color using the numeric keys. Every channel can be set according to

user’s choice of color.

Channel Switch Setting

Press the【Channel】 key to select channel switch setting. Set the channel “on” by using the numeric key【1】. Set the channel “off” by using the key【0】. The settings will take effect in the process of next sampling display.

Generally, the settings of the channels are not required to be changed often. Press【Save】to save the dened channel settings to re- use then

without having to reset the settings.

Threshold Setting

Press the【Threshold】key to set the threshold voltage setting. The 【↑】and【↓】pushbuttons are used to circularly select one of the

six threshold voltages. Only the knob can be used to set the value

of threshold voltages in a continuous manner (numeric keys can’t

www.globalspecialties.com Page 9

Model 3600 User Manual_B.indd 9 7/2/2010 4:41:44 PM

Users Manual Model 3600

be used). The voltage will increase by turning the knob to right and

decrease by turning the knob to left. When the voltage value passes

the zero, the polarity sign will automatically change. The internal code-generator doesn’t pass the voltage comparator, so the settings on threshold voltage aren’t valid when sampling the internal code.

The analyzer has 32 external signal input channels and 2 external

clock channels. The best performance is when the peak-to-peak value of input voltage is between 500 mVpp and 20 Vpp. The maximum input voltage the instrument can handle is ±40 V. After accessing the analyzer, the input signal rst passes through the voltage comparison circuit and is compared with the threshold voltage set by the user. If the input signals are higher than the threshold voltage, the analyzer shows the number “1”, otherwise it displays the number “0”. Then the signals

are sampled and saved and displayed on the screen.

Waveforms displayed by this means only reect the timing logic when the input signals are higher or lower than the threshold voltage. It doesn’t reect the real amplitude of the input signals, and may be far different from the real waveforms of the input signals. This kind of waveform displayed by the logic analyzer is usually called a “pseudo waveform”.

Sampled Signals

In practical operation, the sampled signals appear by groups. For example, grouped by the data bus or the address bus .The characteristics of amplitude of a group of signals are the same, so use the same compare threshold voltage. The amplitude characteristics of a group of signals are the same, so use the same comparative threshold

voltage. In practical operation there are many kinds of signals with

different amplitudes to be tested, such as TTL, CMOS and ECL. In every experimental circuit, the amplitude characteristics of signals may be

various. To satisfy these conditions, the instrument is deployed with six individual adjustable threshold voltages. Four of them are used in four channel groups which contain 8 signal input channels in each one.

And the other 2 threshold voltages are used in 2 external clock input channels.

Measured Signals

In practice, the instruments measures signals in groups, for instance

www.globalspecialties.com Page 10

Model 3600 User Manual_B.indd 10 7/2/2010 4:41:44 PM

Users Manual Model 3600

in the total line and address line. The amplitude characteristic of one group is identical and should also use the same comparison

threshold voltage. However the instrument has 32 signal input

channels and again, it is not necessary to setup 32 independently

adjustable threshold voltages. But in practice, there are measured signals with different amplitudes for instance TTL, CMOS, and ECL. In

many experimental circuits, the amplitudes required may vary. For this

application, six independently adjustable threshold voltages can be congured, four of which are used for four channel groups, each group

has 8 signal input channels. The other 2 are used for 2 external clock input channels separately.

In practice, the voltage amplitudes of +5 V or +3.3 V are commonly used in a digital circuit. Model 3600’s default settings of the threshold voltage are at +1.6 V. Generally, the setting range of the threshold voltages for TTL is between +5V and +3.3V. The setting range of threshold voltages for CMOS is between +5V and +4.3V. If the tested signals contain large ringing effects or other voltage noises, there will

be extraneous data in the sampled results. If this happens, repeat the

sampling function to adjust the threshold voltage and observe the sampling waveforms, until clear and correct sampling waveforms are

obtained.

Display Setting

The 3600 logic analyzer can display a vast amount of data. There are

two display modes of sampling data: timing waveform display and data

listing display.

Timing Waveform Display

Press【Display】to view timing waveforms for up to 8 channels. Each channel can be displayed with different colors to easily identify and separate them visually. The order of 32 channels waveforms is that the highest channel is on the top and the lowest channel is at the bottom.

This is to enable the highest-order digit of the byte to be on the top

and the lowest-order digit on the bottom.

Waveform Rolling Up/Down

The waveform rolling can be used to observe all the waveforms in 32 channels. Press【↑ ↓】and turn the knob to browse the waveforms.

www.globalspecialties.com Page 11

Model 3600 User Manual_B.indd 11 7/2/2010 4:41:44 PM

Users Manual Model 3600

If there is a need to compare the waveforms, the method of channel

order setting (see Channel Order Setting) can be used to display the

desired waveforms.

Waveform Rolling Left/Right

The Model 3600 allows for 260,000 memory addresses for each channel, however only 280 data points can be viewed due to the horizontal width of the screen. In order to display the needed blocks from the mass of stored data, the screen display window needs to be

repositioned to the desired data in memory. This requires setting a

changeable “window address” for the display window. The screen of the analyzer will show the stored data block using this new window

address as starting point.

The parameter in the rst row on the right bottom of the wave frame is the window-address. The waveform displays the data on the most left, that is the data corresponding to the window address in sampling memory. Press【System】to select window-address and set the window address in Dec numbers with the range of 0~260000. After setting, the waveform of sampled stored data block associated with this new window address will be displayed. To continuously observe a waveform on the display, press【← →】 and turn the knob. The window-address will change continuously showing the waveform rolling from left to right in the display window.

The parameter in the second row on the right bottom of the wave frame is a scroll-step function. Turn the knob one step and the windowaddress will increase one scroll-step value. The higher the value of scroll-step, the faster the speed of the rolling waveform. This could possibly surpass the desired data block. The lower the value of scrollstep, the slower the speed of rolling and the ner observation of the waveforms. Press【System】to select scroll-step. The value of the scroll- step can be set by using the number keys with the range of 1~ 260 000. After setting, press【← →】 and turn the knob to roll the waveform left and right, so that the speed of rolling waveform will change.

Setting the window-address using the number keys directly enables display window to locate the desired sampled block of data. Rolling waveforms utilizing the knob allows observation of section changes in

a continuous manner.

Waveform Zoom

In digital systems, changing rates of different logic levels can vary

within different data channels. When trying to view these on the display, it is possible to have 8 channels with big differences in the changing rates of logic levels. This can cause viewing problems due to the large number of pulse waveforms crowded together on the screen and the fast changing logic level rates will not be seen clearly. Conversely, if a channel has slow changing rates, it becomes a at line on the screen. To solve these two visual problems, either stretch the waveforms in level direction to de-compress and unfold the crowded fast-changing pulse waveforms. Or compress the slow-changing waveforms to easier view their characteristics.

De-Compressed Waveform

Press the【Zoom】key and turn the knob to make the display

waveforms stretch or compress in the horizontal direction. “Zoom= ns/ div” in the sixth row on the left bottom of the wave frame will change. This ratio coefcient stands for the time increment that each lattice of scale line represents both in the above and underside two rows of waveform frame. The essence of waveform amplication is that a

number of sampled data points in memory are displayed continuously.

The amplied waveform allows dense waveforms to be viewed more clearly. This does not generate any distortion to the waveform. However waveform amplication is unable to increase the resolution. Unsampled data points will still not be seen after amplication. If

it is desired to see in more detail, then it is required to increase the sampling velocity.

The waveform zoom function uses the sampling clock as its time unit. If the user needs to measure the interval of the waveform accurately, it is

recommended to use the cursor measurement method.

Compressed Waveform

The theory of waveform compression is displaying one number

comprised from several data points in the sampled memory. After

compression, the waveform’s observation is broadened. This could possibly lead to distortion and allow the user to miss viewing fast

changing steps. The higher the compression rate, the greater the possibility for distortion. It is suggested to make compression changes

www.globalspecialties.com Page 13

Model 3600 User Manual_B.indd 13 7/2/2010 4:41:44 PM

Users Manual Model 3600

gradually to minimize distortion. If distortion is found, the user should

no longer continue compressing the waveform.

Data Lookup - Search Function

Model 3600 has a convenient search function. After a sampling of

data, the user can nd the data conforming to the setting conditions within a large group of sampled data. Parameters in the third row on the right bottom of the wave frame is the nd-data which is a 32 bit data word in Hex format. Press【System】to select nd-data function. Select search data word and input the numbers from 0~9 or the letters of A~F. User can also input x (Note: the【x】on the right of the key 【0

】is not the letter “x” in English). x means “ignore”. After setting the

nd data word, press 【Find】again to locate the data according to the search conditions. This will be denoted with a yellow dash, generally seen on the left of the screen. At the same time, the window address will change to show the position of this data in the sampled memory.

Press【Find】repeatedly until reaching the end point of sampled data

memory. This allows user to nd all the data words conforming to

setting conditions from sampled data.

The nd-data function runs after nishing the data sampling. It is used to look up a data word set randomly in stored sampling data. This point is different from the trigger conditions data word that will be

described in another section. Trigger conditions is preset in advance

before sampling and used to capture data word conforming to trigger

conditions.

Data Listing Display

Press the【Display】key and 19 rows of data listings will be displayed. In the data listing interface, the most left line is the Dec address value of sampled data in memory. The middle is the address value

of the sampled data in Hex, the right is the Bin address value. A differentiating line is displayed between each 8 bits Bin code for convenient reading. There are two different colors to distinguish the two adjacent lines to allow for clear viewing and eliminate confusion.

The storage depth of the instrument is 260,000 storing addresses, but

the screen shows only 19 rows in a vertical manner. Therefore, data lists also must roll up and down in the display window. The parameter denitions and operation methods shown in the data listing display

www.globalspecialties.com Page 14

Model 3600 User Manual_B.indd 14 7/2/2010 4:41:45 PM

Users Manual Model 3600

are the same as timing waveform display mentioned in the Timing Waveform Display section. The functions of window addresses, rolling steps, nd-data words are also identical. The difference is that rolling up and down in the data listing display equals rolling left and right in the timing waveform display. The found data is a row of orange data

displayed in the upper part of data listing. The data listing cannot roll left and right, or zoom.

Cursor Setting

There are two cursors for Model 3600: Cursor1 and Cursor2.

Timing Waveform Cursor

In the timing waveform display interface, press the【cursor 1】key, the green cursor1 shows an active state. Turn the knob to enable the

cursor1 to move left and right. Press the【cursor 2】key, the purple cursor is then chosen. Turn the knob to enable the cursor2 to move

left and right. The step width of the cursor movement can be set with number keys 0~9. For example, press 【1】and turn the knob a step.

The cursor moves one point distance on the screen. Press 【9】, then turn the knob a lattice, the cursor moves nine points distance on the

screen. Recommendation is to rst move the cursor with a longer step to the desired aim point. Then move the cursor with a shorter step to

the aim point.

Cursor Measurement

Model 3600 is able to measure the sampling data value of any point in

the display waveforms and the time interval between any two points in a waveform.

The second row on the left bottom of the waveform frame is the parameter value of cursor1. The third row is the parameter value

of cursor2. The six numbers on the left of the parameter are the decimalization data address that the cursor is indicating. The 8

numbers on the right of the parameter are the Hex data value of the

position the cursor is indicating. This is the sampling data of 32 input channels. Each number represents 4 channels. The data from left to

right represents the 32 input channels of waveforms from the top to the bottom in turn. Because the screen only shows the waveforms of 8 channels, the user can know the logic levels of the 32 channels.

This is done by reading the data value of the cursor without moving waveforms up and down to view. When turning the knob to make the measurement cursor move, the cursor parameter’s address value and data value will change dynamically with it. When the two cursors move

into the same point, their parameter values are identical.

The difference in value between cursor1 and cursor2 displays in the 4th row on the left bottom of the waveform frame. This is indicated as sampling clock cycle which can also be called the address difference.

The data in the 5th row on the left bottom is the difference in value between cursor1 and cursor2, denoted by absolute time (ns). When the cursor1 is on the right of the cursor2, the two parameters are positive values; they are negative values on the left of cursor2. When the two cursors coincide with each other, their parameters are 0.

This allows the user to measure the time difference between any two points in a waveform by positioning cursor1 and cursor2 to the two points of interest. It will then display time difference or the address difference between the two points.

However, if the address difference between the two points measured exceeds 280, the two points can’t be displayed in the same interface at

the same time. A different measuring procedure is used. Set the cursor1 and the cursor2 into different characteristic modes. Cursor1 is a drift

cursor appearing in the display window continuously. It can be seen as an aim line and is able to move anywhere within the window using the knob. Cursor1 appears to suspend on waveform, and does not move together with the waveforms. Its address value and data value will change with the waveform movement, denoting waveform’s address

value and data value cursor placed at any step.

Cursor 2 is an adhering cursor. Even though it can be moved anywhere within the window using the knob, it will adhere to the waveform once movement stops. When the waveform moves, cursor2 moves with it. When moving the cursor2 out, visualize that it still adheres to and moves with the waveform. Its address value and data value won’t change regardless how far the waveform moves.

When using cursor1 as a drift cursor and cursor2 as an adhering cursor,

rst move cursor2 to the rst aim point. The move the waveform

left or right until the second aim point displays. Turn the knob to move cursor1 to this second aim point to read the time or address

value difference between the two points. After nishing this type of

measurement , press【cursor 2】key to recall it into display window and begin the next measurement.

Data Listing Cursor

In the Data Listing interface, cursor1, cursor2 and cursor measurement are the same as the cursors in the Timing Waveform interface. The

difference is that the cursors in the timing waveform display are vertical

cursor lines, but in the data listing display interface, the cursors are

horizontal white rows in the display. There is only an address display of two cursor rows regarding the parameter display under the data listing

(data values are contained the listing).

Sampling Setting

Model 3600 uses the sampling mode for obtaining data. This procedure involves sampling to a digital input, not collecting a sample to the input signal directly. Instead it digitally generates data points through

comparison and distinguishes between input signals and thresholds. It then stores sampled data in memory which requires properly setting

the sampling parameters.

Sampling Mode

There are two sampling modes for this logic analyzer. One is timing sample which collects samples of the external signals using the internal

equal time interval clock. The sampled data is equal time interval data,

in other words it takes “time” as the independent variable. The timing waveforms after sampling will basically reect the changes of the tested signal as time. This approach is known as the timing analysis,

but the sampling clock and the tested system are independent of each other and not synchronous and called “asynchronous sampling.”

The other sampling mode is the state sample which collects samples

using the clock of the system under test. The clock utilizes equal or random time intervals. The sampling clock pulse can be seen as a discrete event. Take the “event” sequences as independent variables.

The data listing after sampling reects the logic state relation between

the system clock and the other signals in the system. This mode is

known as state analysis. Here, the sampling clock is synchronous with

the system under test and is also called “synchronous sampling.” If the

www.globalspecialties.com Page 17

Model 3600 User Manual_B.indd 17 7/2/2010 4:41:45 PM

Users Manual Model 3600

user takes samples using the inner clock to inner code generator, this also belongs to “synchronous sampling.”

If state sampling is used as the sampling clock signal in a measured system, it is required to connect to special input channel clk1 or clk2.

Otherwise the sampling will not start. If the noise in the external clock signal is too large, adjust the threshold voltage settings of the

external clock to obtain a pure clock signal. If the sampling clock signal is poor, the sampled data cannot be used and the external clock

signals will not be stored to allow access to the displayed waveforms. It will then be impossible to know the quality of the clock signals after passing through threshold voltage comparator. A substitute method:

press 【source】to select the aim source and use the inner clock as the timing sampling. Then connect external clock signal to the special

clock channels clk1 and clk2. Now the external clock can take samples to external clock signals. Clk1 and clk2’s timing waveforms display in 30~31 channels after sampling. When adjusting the threshold voltage settings of the external clock, one can use the two channels to monitor the adjustment effect.

Sampling mode can be set with the 【Time/State】key, inner clock for

timing sampling and the external clock for state sampling. The external clock contains external clk1 and external clk2. The default setting is the timing sample using the internal clock.

Clock Limitations

To view variations of tested signal, a higher sampling velocity should be used, however this may greatly increase the amount of data stored in

memory. Also the tested signal may be single/occasional and included in a long data stream. To effectively capture these signals, it is necessary to lengthen the time of the sampling. Again, this causes a greater amount of data to be stored in memory. Considering memory space has

its limitations, there is a solution. Model 3600 sets two external clocks

into a logic “and” and logic “or” mode. This limits an external clock by

using another external clock. For example, select the logic “and” of two

external clocks as the sampling clock. Use the high level of the external

clk1 as the limit condition. Only when external clk1 is at a high level can the sampling clk2 be opened. Then the sampling of data will run. All other times the clk2 is shut down and no sampling will occur. If the set

limit conditions are suitable, it ensures that the unit only captures the

www.globalspecialties.com Page 18

Model 3600 User Manual_B.indd 18 7/2/2010 4:41:45 PM

Users Manual Model 3600

desired signals and saves memory space.

Sampling Cycle

The logic analyzer captures data on the hop edge of the sampling clock

and the data between two hop edges is ignored. (hop edge means the

moment of potential shifting). If a longer sampling cycle is chosen,

the fast-changing sections of the input signals will be missed. This causes the displayed waveforms to have distortion compared to the true waveforms of the input signals both in amplitude and time. One

should use a shorter sampling cycle in order to observe the particular changes of the tested signals, that is, to increase the sampling rate. It is recommended the sampling cycle should be 3-5 times less than the

narrowest pulse width of the tested signals. In other words, even the narrowest pulse of the tested signals should include three sampling points at least, which can truly reect input signals’ change as time.

The instrument uses an internal clock in the time sampling and the clock cycle can be set. Press 【system】 to select parameter pattern-

clk and input the clock cycle value with decimalization numbers 0~9.

Its unit is ns, resolution is 10ns, the last number on the right is to

be ignored as it has no use. The minimum cycle value is 10 ns; the

maximum value is 999999990ns, approximate to 1s. When the code

generator’s clock is changed, the waveform’s display change is visible.

The default setting of the clock cycle is 10 ns, meaning the highest

sampling velocity is 100 MHz.

The instrument uses the external clock cycle in state sampling; the sampling cycle can’t be changed optionally. One needs to select the

suitable signals as the sampling clock according to the state of the tested signals.

Sampling Phase

The logic analyzer uses the sampling clock’s rising edge for obtaining data. However the user should choose the clock’s function edge according to the logical relation between the signal and system clock of tested system. For instance, if various logic levels change within the system clock’s rising edge and samples use the rising edge the timing is

not consistent, then various logic levels are changing and the sampled

data may be wrong. By choosing the falling edge in this situation, all logic levels are in a stable state and sampled data will be correct.

Users Manual Model 3600

Model 3600 sets sampling phase choices of rising edge sampling and falling edge samplingWhen connecting the timing sampling to an

external signal with the internal clock, the sampling phase setting may

be out of phase due to “asynchronous sampling”. Press【system】to select sample-phase and set sampling phase in

numbers, press【0】to select clock falling edge, press【1】to select rising edge. The rising edge is applicable for internal sampling sources and the falling edge for external sampling sources. The default setting

is the falling edge. The user needs to select what is appropriate for

their measurement needs.

Sampling Control

There are two keys used for controlling the sampling process: press the

【single】key and the sample process runs only once. After sampling,

display the result in timing waveform or the data listing. The user can

then utilize for various operations and analysis. Press【Run/Stop】, the sampling process runs automatically

and repeatedly with results displaying continuously. When user

presses【Run/Stop】again the, sampling process stops. This is generally

used to view a dynamic change of a tested signal or dynamic response of the adjusting parameter setting. Once the characteristics of tested signal are analyzed or parameter setting adjust suitably, press

the【single】key to sample and analyze the results in detail.

Trigger Setting

In today’s modern digital system, the date code stream rate is very

high, typically in ms or ηs rates, which require a comparable sampling velocity for a logic analyzer. Because the memory has its limitations, the effective sampling time is very short. Using a manual sampling process【Single】requires extremely accurate timing which is difcult

to do, making it difcult for the analyzer to know when to start

capturing data. Also due to memory space allocation, large amounts

of data will enter the memory and following data will overwrite

preceding data points.

The logic analyzer must run the sampling process automatically according to user set-up and stop automatically after capturing useful

signal data. This is the fundamental difference between a logic analyzer

and a data collector.

Users Manual Model 3600

Press【trigger】to display the graphical trigger setting interface. This

will allow the user to view the entire sampling process directly, as well

as the master trigger setting.

Signal Input

The signal input process is on the left of the trigger setting display. The externally tested signal from the probe passes through test hooks, “commuting case”, transmitting cable, connector, to “comparator”,

then compared with the “threshold voltage” to generate digital

signals. The Internal code generator pattern generates an emulating

digital signal. Choose one of these two signals through switch “source select” by pressing【source】to select the switch state in cycle. The selected input signal passes through the channel switch to the sampling circuit. The setting of the channel switch has been described in section called Channel Switch Setting.

Start Conditions

The sampling trigger process is on the right of the trigger setting display. Press the【Single】key , the sampling process does not initially

start but rst checks the start conditions. When it is determined

the data in the input signals is a match, the sampling process starts immediately.

The start “bit-select” can be set with numbers in Hex, representing 32

input channels. If the bit-select is set to 0, this indicates this channel is to be ignored. It is not involved in the start match checking and has

no inuence on start time regardless of signal level of this channel.

If bit-select is set to 1, this indicates the channel is effective and is to be included in the start match checking. The default setting of start

bit-select is 0000FFFF which means it only detected 00~15 channels, ignoring the 16~32 channels. The default setting is only an example.

The user can modify for their measurement needs.

The start “compare word” can be set with numbers in Hex and its default setting 00001234. This means when “1234” appears in 00~15 channels in the input data streams (logic level of 00~15 channels is

“0001001000110100”) the sampling process starts.

Start Select

The “start select” can be set with numbers. The key【0】opens the

www.globalspecialties.com Page 21

Model 3600 User Manual_B.indd 21 7/2/2010 4:41:46 PM

Users Manual Model 3600

switch, the key【1】connects the switch. If the start select switch is connected, “the start conditions” will be short-circuited eliminating

their use. For example, after pressing【Single】, the sampling process

starts directly without detecting the start conditions, equal to random

sample manually.

The default setting of the “start select switch” is “connect” in order to make random sampling without specic sampling purpose and not

needing to set the start conditions. If the setting of the start select

switch is “open”, then only the tested signal with specic sampling

purpose can set the suited start conditions.

Trigger Conditions

When sampling starts up, the instrument writes the sampling data

into the high-speed memory continuously according to the sampling

clock time. Once the memory is lled, it will be return to the top of the memory stack and overwrite the former data.

The sampling purpose is to make limited storage data blocks that contain the signals of concern. The user needs to set the appropriate trigger conditions to capture the desired signals. After the signals are captured and stored, the instrument takes a short time of “store delay” and the sampling process stops automatically. The suitable setting of

trigger conditions can decrease storage of useless data which improves

the effective utilization of the memory.

The start “bit-select” can be set with numbers in Hex, representing 32

input channels. If the bit-select is set to 0, this indicates the channel

will be ignored. It is not involved in the start match checking and has no inuence on start time regardless of signal level of this channel.

If set bit-select is set to 1, this indicates the channel is effective and is included in the start matching checking. The default setting of start bit-

select is 0000FFFF, means that only check 00~07 channels, ignore 08~31 channels. The default setting is only an example, the user can congure

it for their needs.

The start “compare word” can be set with numbers in Hex, the default setting of start compare word is 00000069. This means once Hex number 69 appears in 00~07 channels in the input data streams the trigger condition is satised. Meaning when the logic level of 00~07 channels is “01101001”the trigger condition is satised.

www.globalspecialties.com Page 22

Model 3600 User Manual_B.indd 22 7/2/2010 4:41:46 PM

Users Manual Model 3600

Different from the start conditions, the trigger conditions sets three

trigger limit switches, <, =,>. These are useful for testing the data with respect to the tested signals. The trigger limit switch can be set with number keys. Press the 【1】key to connect the switch, which connects only one in the three trigger limit switch. Once one switch is connected, the other two switches are disconnected. The default setting of the trigger limit switch is “=” connection.

Event Count

When the sampling process starts, the instrument stores the sampled data in the memory. At the same time, it compares the sampled data

with the trigger conditions and the trigger limit switch. If the sampled data satises the trigger conditions and the trigger limit switch it will capture a trigger event. In some applications, the user may want to

have the trigger event appear many times in one sampling making analysis more convenient to capture desired events. So the instrument sets a trigger event counter after the sampling process starts. The count

value rst resets and the count value increments one when it meets

the trigger event once. This happens until the count value reaches the

setting value of the trigger event and the trigger process nishes. The trigger events count can be set with numbers in Dec, the setting range is 1~999, the default setting of the trigger event count value is 001.

Trigger Select

The trigger select switch can be set with numbers, the key【0】opens the switch, the key【1】connects the switch. If the trigger select switch is connected, the trigger conditions, the trigger limit switch and the event counter are all short-circuited with no use. For example, after

the sampling process starts, the instrument does not detect the trigger conditions and also does not count the event. The trigger process

nishes unconditionally.

The default setting of the “start select switch” is “connect” in order to make random sampling. This has no specic sampling purpose on capturing what kind of signal. It is not necessary to set the trigger conditions or event counter. If the setting of the start select switch is “open”, then only the tested signal clearly and specic sampling requirements can set the suitable trigger conditions, trigger limit switch

and event count.

Model 3600 User Manual_B.indd 23 7/2/2010 4:41:46 PM

Users Manual Model 3600

Store Delay

The sampling process can stop automatically after the trigger process

nishes. But in some applications, we want to delay a period of

storage time of the sampling data in order to analyze some signals characteristics after trigger events. So a delay counter is set in this

instrument, after the trigger process nishes, the sampling process still runs, meanwhile clears the delay counter and counts for sampling clock,

the count value adds one each clock cycle, the sample process stops

when the count value reaches the setting value of the delay counter.

The “store delay” can be set with numbers in Decimalization, the setting range is 1~260000, the unit is the number of sample cycles; the

default setting of storage delay is 600 sample cycles.

Because both the default setting of the start select switch and the trigger select switch are “connected”, we don’t need to set the trigger process, just press【Single】key, the instrument doesn’t check, but directly starts sampling and makes storage delay, in other words, the

sampling process stops automatically after sampling 600 clock cycles randomly.

Manually Stop Sampling Process

If the start select switch is disconnected, but the start conditions are set unsuitably, the sampling process will not start. Or if set trigger select switch is disconnected, but trigger conditions are set unsuitably, the trigger process can not stop. Under these two conditions, the

instrument is in the detecting mode continuously until the suitable signals appear and displays “sample is processing, press any key to stop”. To release from this state, press any key to stop the sampling process manually. Then one must study the tested signals carefully, reset

the trigger process to make sure the sampling process will run normally.

Trigger Cursor

It is possible there may be one or more vertical red lines in the timing

waveforms interface. These are trigger cursors. The positions of the

cursors are the sampling data points that satisfy the setting of the trigger conditions.

The parameter value of the trigger cursor is on the left bottom of the

waveform frame in the rst row. The six numbers on the left of the

parameter are the addresses in Dec of the data the cursor indicates.

www.globalspecialties.com Page 24

Model 3600 User Manual_B.indd 24 7/2/2010 4:41:47 PM

Users Manual Model 3600

The 8 numbers on the right of the parameter are the values in Hex of the data the cursor indicates. For example: the sampled data of the 32

input channels, every number represents four channels. The data from

left to right represents the 32 channels of waveforms from the top to

the bottom in turn. Press【single】repeatedly for sampling and cursor indication. Because it is random sampling, the position of the trigger cursor line changes every time. The address value in the parameters

of the trigger cursor changes as well. The left six numbers of the data

value change every time, but the right 2 bits of the parameter value

is always 69. This is due to the default setting of the trigger condition being 69 Hex, which appears in the 00~07 channels thus the other

channels are ignored. The position that the trigger cursor line displays

in the timing waveform display are the data points which are in line with the trigger conditions. The trigger cursor is the same as the above description in data listing interface, displaying in a row of red data. The

left line is address value of cursor in Dec, the middle line is data value

of cursor in Hex, and the Bin data value of cursor is on the right line.

Save/Recall

Parameter Storage

Parameter settings will be different for various measurement applications and just using the default settings may not be adequate.

To set the parameters each individual time can be time consuming. It is recommended the user utilize the parameter “save” function and store the present parameters for future use. Retain the settings of the instrument for future use by pressing the【save】key. Model 3600 will

query rst with “Store? 0: parameter, 1: waveform, 2: cancel”. Press【0 】key to save the all the currently set parameters. These will be stored

even when the unit is powered down.

Waveform Storage

The user can set the Model 3600 for waveform storage. This function

saves stored sample data for further analysis. The length of the

waveform is 16348 sampled data points. The Start address is current displayed window address on screen. User can change the displayed window address by setting parameters or moving the gure. Press the【save】key. The instrument will query rst “Store? 0: parameter, 1: waveform, 2: cancel”. Press【1】to save data with length of 16k, and

www.globalspecialties.com Page 25

the current displayed window as the start address.

Cancel Storage

If the user presses the【save】key in error and does not want to save the currently set parameter or waveforms, press【2】key to cancel. The original parameters or waveform will be maintained.

Recall

Press【Recall】to recall the saved parameters and waveform data. After recalling, they can be displayed with window and data list. The user can also measure and analyze them in different ways. After pressing【Single】or【Run/Stop】, new data will be shown. If needed, saved waveform data will be recalled by pressing【Recall】again.

Reset

Every time the power is turned on to Model 3600, the instrument rst loads the default parameters settings and stores them. If the user modies the parameter settings during a measurement and the data isn’t being captured correctly, press【Reset】to recall the default

parameters settings for initialization to return the instrument to normal operation.

Programmable Interface

Model 3600 is congures for USB device and RS232 interface. The user

can send programmable commands to Model 3600 using a computer. It can also upload the sample data into a computer and display the

sample waveform or data list on the computer display. Refer to CDROM

for detailed instructions.

Remote Update

Using the function of remote update, the user can update the system

software through computer interface. Please refer to CDROM for
