Glitch violation storageThe acquisition memory can be enabled to store glitch violation information with each
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
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.
4
This mode can be used to create transitional storage selections where all channels are enabled.
5
Counters can be used as setable, resetable, or testable flags and have zero reset latency.
6
Timers can be used as testable flags with TLA 7Lx and TLA 7Mx Modules with serial numbers B020000 and higher and
TLA 700 Series Software Version 1.10 or higher.
7
Word recognizers are traded off one-by-one as Signal In 1, Signal In 2, glitch detection, setup and hold detection, or
transition detection resources are added.
8
Block storage is disallowed when glitch storage or setup and hold violation is enabled.
8
When enabled, 31 samples are stored before and after the valid sample.
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.
