1
All system trigger and external signal input latencies are measured from a falling-edge transition (active true low) with
signals measured in the wired-OR configuration.
2
In the Waveform window, triggers are always marked immediately except when delayed to the first sample. In the Listing
window, triggers are always marked on the next sample period following their occurrence.
3
“Clk” represents the time to the next master clock at the destination logic analyzer. In the asynchronous (or internal)
clock mode, this represents the delta time to the next sample clock beyond the minimum asynchronous rate of 4 ns. In
the synchronous (or external) clock mode, this represents the time to the next master clock generated by the setup of the
clocking state machine and the supplied system under test clocks and qualification data.
4
Signals 1 and 2 (ECLTRG0, 1) are limited to a “broadcast” mode of operation, where only one source is allowed to drive
the signal node at any one time. That single source may be utilized to drive any combination of destinations.
5
SMPL represents the time from the event at the probe tip inputs to the next valid data sample. In the Normal Internal clock
mode, this represents the delta time to the next sample clock. In the MagniVu Internal clock mode, this represents 500 ps
or less. In the External clock mode, this represents the time to the next master clock generated by the setup of the
clocking state machine, the system-under-test supplied clocks, and the qualification data.

Storage Control
Global storageStorage is allowed only when a specif ic condition is met. This condition can use any
of the trigger machine resources except for the counter/timers. Storage commands
defined in the current trigger state will override the global storage control.
Global storage can be used to start the acquisition with storage initially turned on
(default) or turned off.
By eventStorage can be turned on or off; only the current sample can be stored. The event
storage control overrides any global storage commands.
Block storageWhen enabled, 31 samples are stored before and after the valid sample.
Not allowed when glitch storage or setup and hold violation is enabled.
Glitch violation storageThe acquisition memory can be enabled to store glitch violation information with each
data sample when asynchronous clocking is used. The probe data storage size is
reduced by one half (the other half holds the violation information). The fastest
asynchronous clocking rate is reduced to 10 ns.
Setup and hold violation storageThe acquisition memory can be enabled to store setup and hold violation information
with each data sample when synchronous clocki ng is used. The probe data storage
size is reduced by one half (the other half holds the violation information). The
maximum clock rate is reduced by half.
1
Each use of External Signal In, glitch detector, setup and hold violation detector, or transition detector requires a trade-off
of one word recognizer resource.
2
Any glitch is subject to pulse width variation of up to the channel-to-channel skew specification + 0.5 ns.
3
Any setup value is subject to variation of up to 1.8 ns; any hold value is subject to variation of up to 1.2 ns.

All system trigger and external signal input latencies are measured from a falling-edge transition (active true low) with
signals measured in the wired-OR configuration.
2
Signals 1 and 2 (ECLTRG0, 1) are limited to a “broadcast” mode of operation, where only one source is allowed to drive
the signal node at any one time. That single source may be utilized to drive any combination of destinations.
3
SMPL represents the time from the event at the probe tip inputs to the next valid data sample. In the Normal Internal clock
mode, this represents the delta time to the next sample clock. In the MagniVu Internal clock mode, this represents 500 ps
or less. In the External clock mode, this represents the time to the next master clock generated by the setup of the
clocking state machine, the system-under-test supplied clocks, and the qualification data.

Storage Control
Global storageStorage is allowed only when a specif ic condition is met. This condition can use any
of the trigger machine resources except for the counter/timers. Storage commands
defined in the current trigger state will override the global storage control.
Global storage can be used to start the acquisition with storage initially turned on
(default) or turned off.
By eventStorage can be turned on or off; only the current sample can be stored. The event
storage control overrides any global storage commands.
Block storageWhen enabled, 31 samples are stored before and after the valid sample.
Not allowed when glitch storage or setup and hold violation is enabled.
Glitch violation storageThe acquisition memory can be enabled to store glitch violation information with each
data sample when asynchronous clocking is used. The probe data storage size is
reduced by one half (the other half holds the violation information). The fastest
asynchronous clocking rate is reduced to 4 ns.
Setup and hold violation storageThe acquisition memory can be enabled to store setup and hold violation information
with each data sample when synchronous clocki ng is used. The probe data storage
size is reduced by one half (the other half holds the violation information). The
maximum clock rate in this mode is 235 MHz.
1
Each use of External Signal In, glitch detector, setup and hold violation detector, or transition detector requires a trade-off
of one word recognizer resource.
2
Any glitch is subject to pulse width variation of up to the channel-to-channel skew specification + 0.25 ns.

Any setup value is subject to variation of up to the channel skew specification. Any hold value is subject to variation of
the channel skew specifications.

SMPL represents the time from the event at the probe tip inputs to the next valid data sample of the LA module. In the
Normal Internal clock mode, this represents the delta time to the next sample clock. In the Magni Vu Internal clock mode,
this represents 500 ps or less. In the External clock mode, this represents the time to the next master clock generated by
the setup of the clocking state machine, the system-under-test supplied clocks, and the qualification data.
2
All system trigger and external signal input latencies are measured from a falling-edge transition (active true low) with
signals measured in the wired-OR configuration.
3
All signal output latencies are validated to the rising edge of an active (true) high output.
4
In the Waveform window, triggers are always marked immediately except when delayed to the first sample. In the Listing
window, triggers are always marked on the next sample period following their occurrence.
5
“Clk” represents the time to the next master clock at the destin ation logic analyzer. In the asynchronous (or internal)
clock mode, this represents the delta time to the next sample clock beyond the minimum asynchronous rate of 4 ns. In
the synchronous (or external) clock mode, this represents the time to the next master clock generated by the setup of the
clocking state machine and the supplied system under test clocks and qualification data.
6
Signals 1 and 2 are limited to a “broadcast” mode of operation, where only one source is allowed to d rive the signal node
at any one time. That single source may be utilized to drive any combination of destinations.

Merged module setup and hold window size
(data and qualifiers) (Typical)
Maximum window size = Single module setup and hold + merge skew
When determining the required setup and hold window for merged modules, take into
consideration if the slave module’s local clocks are used to acquire data and if a
merge deskew has been performed. If the slave module uses its own clocks to
acquire data, then the typical and maximum setup and hold values are the same as a
stand-alone module (the same is true for the master module itself). The only time the
additional merge skew values apply is when the clocks on the master module acquire
data on the slave modules.
When a slave module acquires data using its own local clocks, merge skew = 0 ps
When a slave module acquires data using clocks from the master module without
merge deskew, merge skew = 375 ps
When a slave module acquires data using clocks from the master module and has
had merge deskew performed, merge skew = 125 ps.
Example using P6810, P6860, or P6880 probe with slave module acquiring data via
clocks from the master module without merge deskew:
Maximum window size = 750 ps + 375 ps =1.125 ns
Typical window size = 625 ps + 375 ps = 1.000 ns
The user interface setup and hold window for merge applications is affected as follows
by merge skew:
Typical setup time = User interface setup time + (merge skew/2)
Typical hold time = User interface hold time + (merge skew/2)
Maximum setup time = User interface setup time + 75 ps + (merge skew/2)
Maximum hold time = User interface hold time + 50 ps + (merge skew/2)
Example using P6810, P6860, or P6880 probe, with user interface default setup and
hold time of 625/0 typical, and merge configuration that has had merge deskew
performed:
Typical setup time = 625 ps + (125 ps/2) = 688 ps
Typical hold time = 0 ps + (125 ps/2) = 62 ps
Maximum setup time = 625 ps + 75 ps + (125 ps/2) = 763 ps
Maximum hold time = 0 ps + 50 ps + (125 ps/2) = 112 ps
Setup and hold window rangeFor each channel, the setup and hold window can be moved from +8.0 ns (Tstypical)
to --8.0 ns (T
typical) in 0.125 ns steps (setup time).
s
The setup and hold window can be shifted toward the setup region by 0 ns, 4 ns, or
8ns.Witha0nsshift,therange is +8 ns to --8 ns; witha4nsshift,therange is
+12 ns to --4 ns; with an 8 ns shift, the range is +16 ns to 0 ns. The sample point

typical figures. Hold time follows the setup time by the setup and hold window size.

Including the local clocks, the total is six clocks.
Clock groupsFour for a single module and for a merged system
Size of clock group valid FIFOFour stages when operated at 235 MHz or below (three stages when operated above
235 MHz); this allows four (source synchronous or other) clocks to occur before the
clock that completes the Clock Group Valid signal for that group.
Source synchronous clock alignment windowChannel-to-channel skew only
Source synchronous clock resetThe Clock Group Valid FIFO can be reset in one of the t wo ways:
1. By the overflow of a presettable (0--255) 8-bit counter that counts one of the
following clocks: 2 ns Clock or the master heartbeat clock (synchronous or
asynchronous). An active edge places the reset count to its preset value. An active
clock edge will clear the Clock Group Valid reset before the clock gets to the FIFO so
that no data is lost.
2. By enabling an external reset. I n this mode, one of the clock channels must be
traded on the master module to act as a level-sensitive reset input. Any one of the
clocks can be selected. A polarity selection is available. This mode affects all Clock
Group Complete circuits.
Neither one of the above m odes can be intermixed; one or the other must be
selected.

merged, the range recognition extends across all the modules; the master module
contains the most-significant groups.
The master module is to the left (lower--numbered slot) of a merged pair.
The master module is in the center when three modules are merged. Slave module 1
is located to the right of the master module, and slave module 2 is located to the left
of the master module.

Setup and hold violation detector
1,3
Each channel can be enabled to detect a setup and hold violation. The range is from
8 ns before the clock edge to 8 ns after the cl ock edge. The range can be selected in
0.5 ns increments.
For the TLA7Lx and TLAMx logic analyzer modules, the user interface restricts the
setup and hold violation detector to groups rather than individual channels.
The setup and hold violation of each window can be individually programmed.
Transition detector

CharacteristicDescription
Storage Control
Global storageStorage is allowed only when a specif ic condition is met. This condition can use any
of the trigger machine resources except for the counter/timers. Storage commands
defined in the current trigger state will override the global storage control.
Global storage can be used to start the acquisition with storage initially turned on
(default) or turned off.
By eventStorage can be turned on or off; only the current sample can be stored. The event
storage control overrides any global storage commands.
Block storageWhen enabled, 31 samples are stored before and after the valid sample.
Block storage is disallowed when glitch storage or setup and hold violation is enabled.
Glitch violation storageThe acquisition memory can be enabled to store glitch violation information with each
data sample when asynchronous clocking is used. The probe data storage size is
reduced by one half (the other half holds the violation information). The fastest
asynchronous clocking rate is reduced to 10 ns.
1
Each use of a glitch detector, setup and hold violation detector, or transition detector requires a trade-off of one word
recognizer resource.
2
Any glitch is subject to pulse width variation of up to the channel-to-channel skew specification + 0.5 ns.
3
For TLA7N1, TLA7N2, TLA7N3, TLA7N4, TLA7P2, TLA7P4, TLA7Q2, and TLA7Q4 Logic Analyzer modules, any setup
value is subject to variation of up to 1.8 ns; any hold value is subject to variation of up to 1.2 ns. For TLA7L1, TLA7L2,
TLA7L3, TLA7L4, TLA7M1, TLA7M2, TLA7M3, and TLA7M4 Logic Analyzer modules, any setup value is subject to
variation of up to 1.6 ns; any hold value is subject to variation of up to 1.4 ns.

This mode can be used to create transitional storage selections where all channels are enabled.

Rise time (rounded to the nearest 50 ps) is calculated from the bandwidth when Ful l Bandwi dth is selected. It is defined
by the following formula:
Rise Time (ns) = 450 BW (MHz)

The AC Coupled Lower Frequency Limits are reduced by a factor of 10 when 10X passive probes are used.
6
The sensitivity ranges from 10 mV to 100 V full scale in a 1- 2- 5 sequence of coarse settings. Between coarse settings,
you can adjust the sensitivity with a resolution equal to 1% of the more sensitive coarse setting. For example, between
the 500 mV and 1 V ranges, the sensitivity can be set with 5 mV resolution.

The first time that you take an acquisition after changing the horizontal scale setting on TDS1000 or TDS2000 series
oscilloscopes, the TLA and TDS waveform edges may not be aligned within the listed specification. You can realign the
waveform positions in the waveform window that contains the TDS1000/2000 data (Menu bar > Data > Time Alignment).
Make sure that the external oscilloscope is the data source and then adjust the time offset to align the waveforms. Use
the following approximate offsets for various horizontal scale settings:
