The following sections show how to set up the logic analyzer and to do timing analysis using data from a simple D-type ip-op. Flip-ops serve as building blocks in digital systems. Although most ip-ops are buried inside complex ASICS and other devices, they are useful for showing hardware debugging techniques using a logic analyzer. The examples in this document use only a few channels to acquire data. However, you can use the same concepts with hundreds of channels.

Congure the Setup window
Use the following procedures to dene data signals, to set the clocking, to set the probe threshold voltages, and to use other features of the Setup window.
Specify the sampling method
When you select asynchronous sampling, the logic analyzer selects when data is sampled (sample point). Asynchronous sampling is also known as timing acquisition.
When you use synchronous sampling, the system-under-test species the sample point by an external clock. Synchronous sampling is also known as state acquisition.
The following example uses asynchronous sampling.
1. Select Asynchronous.
2. Set sample period (or use default
setting).
3. Select the threshold voltage.
The threshold voltage is applied to all probe channels. You can set threshold voltages for individual channels in the bottom part of the Setup window.

View acquired data with MagniVu high-resolution timing
MagniVu high-resolution timing provides fast sampling on all waveforms to analyze details that you may not see using Deep timing. It is like having two logic analyzers in one. Using a single probe you can view Deep timing data for long time spans and MagniVu high-resolution timing data for greater resolution at the area of interest.
The MagniVu high-resolution data is automatically acquired with each acquisition. However, the waveforms may not be visible. To add MagniVu timing waveforms:
1. Click below the waveform labels to
deselect all waveforms.
2. Click MagniVu to add the MagniVu data
to the Waveform window.
The MagniVu timing waveforms are added to the window in a different color.

You can use the iView feature to connect an external Tektronix oscilloscope to the logic analyzer, acquire data from both instruments, and display the results on the logic analyzer. This is useful for displaying the analog components of a signal in the same data window as the digital components.
In the following examples the logic analyzer and the oscilloscope will acquire the same data. The logic analyzer captures the digital components and the oscilloscope captures the analog components.
