Product Overview
Being a high-performance active
logic probe, PLA2216 connects
the digital signals under test to
the MSO5000 series digital
oscilloscope to realize the logic
analyzer function.
The 16 digital channels (D0-D15)
of PLA2216 are divided into two
channel groups (D0-D7 and
D8-D15) each of which includes
signal interfaces and ground interfaces. All the channels are marked with
different numbers on the label of the probe input to identify different
channels. PLA2216 provides 16 input signal leads and 16 ground leads to
realize flexible connection of signals and reference ground.

The Using Method of the Logic Probe
1. Connect PLA2216 to the oscilloscope: connect the probe output
to the digital signal input terminal at the front panel of the oscilloscope
as shown in the figure below.
2.Connect the signals under test to PLA2216: users can connect
any number (≤16) of the signals under test to PLA2216 probe input
- 3 -
according to the test need. Note that the amplitude of the input signal
should not exceed the maximum working voltage range of the probe.
PLA2216 provides two connection methods to realize convenient and
flexible detection.
Method one: users can connect the signals under test through
the probe leads separately. You can easily identify the
corresponding channel of each signal by the channel label on the
probe leads and the label of the probe input, as shown in Figure
1.
Figure 1
Note: If crosstalk or ground bounce occurs during use, it might
be caused when channels share a single ground lead. So you are

recommended to add a ground wire to the signal lines of each
channel and twist them.
Method two: on the basis of method one, you can connect a
grabber to each lead and connect it to the device under test as
shown in Figure 2.

3.Set the probe: press LA at the front panel of the oscilloscope to
enter the digital channel setting menu. Users can view and set the
following parameters under this menu: threshold level (the threshold
levels of D7-D0 and D15-D8 can be adjusted independently),
waveform size (applicable to all the channels; wherein, item Large is
- 5 -
only available when the number of active channels is no more than 8),
channel label and so on.
Note: When the probe is connected to the oscilloscope for the first
time or the temperature change is more than 5 degrees, you are
recommended to calibrate the probe zero using the calibration
function in the LA menu (press LAThreshold Calibration) and
please disconnect all the connections to the PLA2216 input terminal
during the calibration.
4.Function Check: after finishing the above operations, the signal
under test will be displayed on the corresponding digital channel on
the oscilloscope screen. If no signal is displayed, please adjust the
oscilloscope to select proper general settings (such as the trigger
source, trigger level and trigger mode). If signal is still not displayed,
please check the electric connection and parameter settings again or
please try to use other probe (such as analog probe) to check the
signal state of the test point.
