Tektronix Logic Analyzers

TLA7000 Series Mainframes

Breakthrough Solutions for Real-time Digital Systems Analysis

Tektronix provides breakthrough digital
systems analysis tools that enable digital
hardware and software designers to
capture and analyze the source of elusive
problems that threaten product develop­ment schedules. The TLA7000 Series
provides the speed you need to capture
the source of those elusive problems,
plus the visibility you want with large
displays and fast system data throughput,
while protecting your investment with
compatibility with all TLA modules.
The TLA7012 Portable and TLA7016
Benchtop mainframes are modular main­frames that accept TLA logic analyzer and
pattern generator modules. The TLA7012
and TLA7016 can be configured as either
master or expansion mainframes to provide
solutions for large numbers of buses
and high channel count requirements.
The TLA7012 Portable Mainframe
and TLA7016 Benchtop Mainframe
with TLA7PC1 Benchtop Controller
are built on a Microsoft Windows XP
Professional PC platform that offers a
familiar work environment for the TLA
application software.
The TLA7012 Portable and TLA7016
Benchtop Mainframe with TLA7PC1
Benchtop Controller are available with

multiple display capability for extended
desktop viewing, in addition to an internal
DVD-RW, hard drive and multiple USB2.0
ports for expansion. A replaceable hard
drive is standard on both mainframes, ideal
for security or enabling individual team
members to store personal setups and
data. Trigger in/out connections provide an
interface to other external instrumentation,
such as TDS oscilloscopes, for correlating
measurement results.

Flat-Fee Installation and
Configuration Service Option

Make the most of your TLA7000 Series with
comprehensive installation and configura­tion services from a TLA Certified Customer
Service Engineer (CCSE). The flat-fee
option includes installation and configura­tion of a single mainframe and its respective
module(s). There are two options available,
dependent upon the number of modules
to be installed.
