Introduction
Congratulations on the choice of Global Specialties Model 3600. This
32 channel Logic Analyzer observes and measures digital signals in
digital information processing. It captures and displays many signals at
once, and analyzes their timing relationships. Use its internal clock, or
connect up to 2 external clocks for sampling rate variability. This logic
analyzer will prove to be a versatile tool to help in digital hardware
debugging and verifying circuit designs. Model 3600 operates as a
stand-alone unit or connected to a computer via USB interface.

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

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.

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 coefcient. 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 specications of these settings are explained
later in this manual.
