The Waveform Display Area

The Waveform Display Area takes up the largest portion of the application
display space because it’s where configured signal waveforms are shown.

Navigation

The user can navigate the Waveform Display Area and make various view
adjustments using the following controls:

 Panning the Timeframe - Left-click and drag left/right and the

waveform display area moves in the direction you’ve chosen.

 Zoom a Specific Region – Hold Control, left-click, and drag left or

right to highlight an area. When the mouse button is released, the

highlighted section fills the entire display area.

 Scale the Timeframe (Click-and-Drag) - Right-click and drag

left/right to scale the timeframe and view (zoom in/out) around

the center point of the view.

OR

 Scale the Timeframe (Mouse wheel) – You can alternatively scale

the timeframe using the mouse wheel by putting your mouse

pointer anywhere inside the waveform display area and turning
the mouse wheel up/down (instead of right-clicking and dragging

left/right). Turning the mouse wheel advances in 10% increments.

 Centering the Display – Double-click anywhere in the Waveform

Display Area to center the display about the selected point.

922294 Rev A

Scale and Grid

A timescale is displayed along the top edge of the waveform display area at
all times. The scale steps and labels dynamically adjust based on the
current timeframe shown. Labeled tick marks have dashed grid lines
extending the full height of the display providing waveform reference.

Interacting with Cursors

Cursors are easily applied to the waveform display area (see The Cursors
Tool topic for more information).

Tools

Controls for LogicStudio’s built in Tools are located in the space above the
Waveform Display Area. The built in tools include controls for Cursors,
RearView™, and Magnifier, respectively.

Toggle the Cursors and Magnifier tools (RearView™ is always on except in
MSO mode) on or off by clicking the main portion of the control (containing
the icon). Click the right side of the control to access detailed controls
related to each tool.

The Cursors Tool

This topic demonstrates the use of the Cursors tool.

When the Cursor tool is enabled, you are currently armed with the selected

cursor pair on the waveform display. When expanded, the tool’s detailed

control provides storage for up to 4 cursor pairs. When cursors are placed
on the display, they are highlighted when the pair is selected from the

A

numbered cursor pair. Remove a pair by clicking the Remove Cursor button
on the right side of the numbered cursor pair.

Cursors are controlled and interacted with in the following ways:

 Selecting a cursor pair button activates the pair.
 Pressing the Remove Cursor button for the pair deletes them from

the display.

 Double-clicking a cursor pair button automatically zooms and

centers the pair on the Waveform Display Area.

Mark cursor pairs on signals in the waveform display using the following
steps:

1. Select a cursor pair (1-4) from the tools detailed control.

2. Left -click the display to place cursor A (of the pair) at the first

location.

3. Now, right-click the display to place cursor B (of the pair) at the

second location.

Cursors are labeled with the appropriate number and letter for easy
recognition (i.e. 2B).

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

 The time difference (and frequency between A and B) is shown

on both the Waveform Display Area and on the Cursors Tool.

 When a single cursor (of the pair) is placed, the time and

frequency is shown in real-time based on mouse position until
the second half of the pair is placed (by right-clicking on the
waveform).

 Placing the mouse over the active cursor pair shows the

horizontal click-and-drag mouse icon. When this icon appears,
you can horizontally click-and-drag a cursor to a new location.
The display values are updated accordingly.

922294 Rev A

 When placing or moving a cursor over any digital signal, the

software looks for any nearby edges on the signal and snaps
the cursor to that edge. This allows for easier, more precise
measurements between edges. When the cursor is snapped to
an edge, the cursor’s color changes to match the signal.
Snapping does not occur when the mouse pointer is positioned
above or below the waveform.

 Cursors that cross Analog or Digital Wave signals also display

the value of the signal where it meets the cursor as follows:

The following screenshot shows a cursor pair placed on the waveforms
display.

RearView™

The RearView™ tool allows you to store and navigate through a history of
data acquisitions retrieved from the device(s). The expanded RearView™
tool’s detailed control looks like the following:

RearView™ keeps a history of the last 100 acquisitions. View your stored
acquisitions by setting your trigger to Stop and using the slider on the
detailed control to flip through the history. The currently selected
acquisition is shown in the waveform display area.

The blue bar on the slider control displays how much of the RearView™
history is being used and available for review. This bar fills up as you make
new acquisitions until reaching your specified depth, at which point the
oldest acquisition is discarded when a new one is received.

NOTE: The RearView™ tool is always enabled for digital acquisitions and

supports an acquisition depth of 100 records.

The specific acquisition being viewed is always shown above the slider
control – for example in the previous screenshot the tool is showing
acquisition 11 of 100 possible acquisitions. When you acquire a new
acquisition the RearView™ tool automatically adjusts to show the most
recent acquisition.

922294 Rev A

TIPS:

 While using the RearView™ tool, you can modify your signal setup at

any time and display additional signals/data in different ways than how
it may have been set at the time of the actual signal acquisition.

 You can create a persistence display to compare acquisitions AFTER all

the necessary acquisitions have been obtained. Do this by enabling
persistence mode, and then navigating through various acquisitions
available in the RearView™ tool. You can even generate a persistence
display for a timeframe or zoom level – even if the signal data was not
yet visible at the time of acquisition.

 You can also step through your RearView™ history using the left/right

arrow keys on your keyboard.

Magnifier

The Magnifier tool allows you to quickly zoom-in on a selected time-period
of your acquisition without having to adjust your main display or lose your
frame of reference.

Enable the Magnifier tool at any time by clicking the main portion of the
control. Now, move your mouse anywhere over the waveform display and
an additional, time-magnified display is drawn inside a boxed, magnified
area. Use the slider control or mouse wheel to adjust the magnification
factor inside the time-magnified display. The slider bar updates along with
your mouse wheel adjustments.

With the Magnifier tool enabled, you can still adjust the timeframe of the
main waveform display by holding the Control key down while turning the
mouse wheel, or dragging with the left and right mouse buttons as normal.

Tip: You can also adjust your magnification level with the left/right arrow
keys on your keyboard. This is useful when you need to adjust the
magnification without losing your location in the waveform. This tool
conveniently provides a quick, magnified view of closely aligned edges or
visibility of decode and bus value text.

WorldView

The WorldView is an extremely powerful control just above the waveform
display on the dashboard. Not only does it provide important high-level
waveform information, but it also allows for display configuration and even
pre/post-store settings. The control is shown below:

The WorldView is primarily a high-level presentation of the current
relationship between your displayed acquisition(s) and your current view in
the main waveforms display. The display automatically updates to reflect
the current conditions whenever display adjustments or a new acquisition
is obtained.

 The blue horizontal bar represents the digital samples

acquired. The labels on each end of the bar show the time
extent of that data relative to the trigger point.

 The red horizontal bar represents analog samples (if present)

acquired from an attached oscilloscope and the labels on each

end of the bar show the time extent of that data relative to the
trigger point.

The trigger point itself is denoted by the solid vertical green bar (A).

The current pre/post-store setting for the digital device is denoted by the
dashed green rectangle (B). These two indicators align when a new
acquisition is obtained; however, the pre/post-store control can be
adjusted by the user to change the setting for subsequent acquisitions. The
pre-store amount (as a percentage of the total digital acquisition) is always
displayed next to this rectangle.

The yellow translucent viewbox represents your current view in the
waveforms display. This shaded region also provides information for
relative zoom level and position within the acquired data.

WorldView control uses include the following:

 Left-click and drag the yellow, translucent viewbox to pan the

waveform display (to the left or right) through the acquired data.

 Increase/decrease the current timeframe by left-clicking and

dragging the left or right edges of the viewbox. This adjusts or
stretches the left or right-most visible time point on the display
while leaving the other side pinned.

 Replace the existing viewbox with a new one by left-clicking

outside the existing one and dragging to the desired timeframe

size.

 Center your existing viewbox by right-clicking outside the existing

one. This centers the viewbox around the point in time.

 Change the pre/post-store setting for the digital device by left-

clicking and dragging the pre/post-store control (B). The ratio
displayed as a percentage next to the indicator.

 Auto-adjust the view to exactly fit the complete timeframe of any

digital and analog data currently displayed by clicking the button

directly to the left of the WorldView display.

Run Modes

Four run mode buttons are available on the upper-right of the dashboard
as follows:

The modes Auto, Normal, Single, and Stop behave similarly to an
oscilloscope.

 Stop prevents any new acquisitions.
 Single mode attempts to get exactly one new acquisition, while

Normal gets repeated acquisitions.

 Auto mode is similar to normal except it times out and forces a

trigger if the current trigger condition hasn’t been met within a

specified period of time.

The Run Mode section of the dashboard also contains two green indicators
for Ready and Triggered. These indicators reflect the state of the digital
device at any point in time.

Persistence

Directly above the run mode buttons on the dashboard are the Persistence
controls. Click the Persist button to toggle the function on/off. When
persistence is on, subsequent acquisitions are received and shown on the
waveform display. Use the Clear button to remove the waveforms from the
display and restart your acquisitions.

NOTE: The Clear button also clears your RearView™ history.

Status Display

At times an animated status display appears in the upper-right corner of
the dashboard (above the Persistence and Clear controls). This display
provides messages when certain device actions are taking a longer period
of time.
For example, the Status Display indicates when the software is waiting for

 You can rearrange the order of the signals shown in the waveform

display area. Rolling the mouse over the grip area on the left of a
given signal shows the vertical click-and-drag mouse icon. When
this icon appears, you can vertically click-and-drag the signal to a
new location.

 You can resize the height of a given signal in the waveform display

area by clicking-and-dragging the bottom edge of a signal to
increase/decrease its height.

 Add a new signal to the list by pressing the Add New Signal button.

With a signals selected in the waveform display area, click the
Delete Selected Signal button to remove the signal and its
configuration. Signals are deleted one at a time.

The Context Menu

Right-click on the signal control side of a desired signal to show its
corresponding context menu complete with the following options:

 Add – Inserts a new signal after the one currently selected.

 Show/Hide – Allows you to remove signals from view without

deleting the configuration.

 Stacked/Freeform Modes –The signal control panel automatically

displays signals in Stacked mode - meaning they are shown as
individual rows listed in the waveform display area. When you
change the signal control panel setting to Freeform mode, you can
use vertical click-and-drag mouse icon (in the grip area at the left
of a given signal) to drag signals and superimpose them over other
signals in the waveform display area.

NOTE: When in Stacked mode, the grip area’s vertical click-and-drag mouse

icon rearranges the order of your signals (see Arranging Your Signals for

more information) instead of superimposing the signals.

Modifying a Signal

Click a signal’s colored name box and corresponding details for the signal

are shown on a dialog at the bottom of the waveform display area. This

dialog shows contents based on the selected signal’s type. It is the same

dialog used for individual rows on the Signals List setup screen.

The following screenshot shows a SPI decode signal dialog.

Complex Signals

Digital Bus, Digital Wave, and I2C /SPI/UART Decode type signals are all
complex signals that can be comprised of more than one source channel.
Signals of these types have an expand/collapse button on their right side
allowing you to show/hide the individual source channels as Digital Line
type signals.These sub-signals cannot be directly modified and are
automatically named based on how they apply to the complex signal. An
example of an expanded SPI Decode is shown in the following screenshot.

The Data Table

Clicking the Data Table button on the right edge of a given signal (left of
the waveform display area) shows a pop-up. The pop-up contains a tabular
list of all transition data associated with the signal as follows:

From this pop-up, you can scroll through the data and use the Radix drop-
down field to change the data values (provided the chosen signal supports
your selection). The data can also be Exported to a CSV file. When
exporting, you can specify a data range to export based on time, samples or
cursor locations. A preview of the data to be exported is shown.

Clicking or using the up/down arrow keys to select a row on the table
centers the waveform display timeframe on the selected sample and
highlights the transition with a vertical bar glowing in the color of the given
signal. Use this feature to quickly jump the display to samples of interest on
the Data Table. This works in both the Data Table window and in the

Export window’s preview table.

NOTE: You can leave this pop-up open for one or more signals while you

capture new acquisitions. The table data updates to show current
information as acquisitions are completed.

The Dashboard

The Dashboard is comprised of all control and information GUI elements
seen when you first start the application. You can perform many powerful
operations and quickly access most of the functions from the Dashboard.

Device Connections

The Device Connections button is shown on the upper-left corner of the
screen, just below the menu bars.

This button represents your digital pod and oscilloscope device
connections. Clicking the button opens the Device Finder tool to allow you
to choose a device to set up from the available connected devices. Refer to
the Device Finder section later in this document for more details on this
tool.

This button has a blue glow when you are connected to one or more
devices and the icon will update to reflect what type of devices you are
connected to. The red X next to the button will disconnect all devices.

A red X over the button indicates the device is not currently present or has
been explicitly disconnected by the user.

You cannot make new acquisitions without a connection to a digital pod.
However, you do not need to have an oscilloscope connected to create
acquisitions.

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

 Disconnecting the oscilloscope can speed up the rate of

acquisitions if you temporarily don’t need the analog data.

 Refer to the Oscilloscope Models Supported by topic for a list

of supported oscilloscopes.

Pin Activity

The Pin Activity display is located at the top of the dashboard. It shows the
activity status of all digital device channels in real-time (regardless of
application or device state).

Setup

Three Setup buttons are directly to the right of the device connection
buttons. The Setup buttons allow for configuring the application and digital
device.

Signals List

Clicking the Signals button shows a screen containing a list of all signals to
be rendered on the waveform display. The Signals list looks like the
following:

B

Find Quality Products Online at: [e-mail]

www.GlobalTestSupply.com

LogicStudio

26

922294 Rev A

The Signals list allows you to conveniently configure all the signals at the
same time. Each row represents a single signal. Inside a single row, you can
modify the signal Type, Name, Color, and Source Channel(s), along with
additional options depending on the signal Type selected.

Supported signal Types include Digital Line, Digital Bus, Digital Wave,
Analog Channel, and I2C/SPI/UART Decodes.

Buttons at the top of the Signals list window allow you to add, delete, and

reorder the list.

NOTE: Making any modifications to the Signals List or the Signal Setup in

any way (even adding new signals) immediately affects currently displayed
acquisition data on the Waveform Display Area without requiring a refresh
from the device(s).

Instrument

The Instrument setup button shows a configuration screen where you can
configure how the digital instrument samples data - including the half/full
channel mode selection and setting threshold levels. Changes made on the
Instrument setup screen take effect on the next acquisition after you click
Apply or OK.

NOTE: If you select a different channel mode, the information shown on the

left of this setup display is updated to match acquisition details for your
choice.

Trigger

The Trigger setup button opens a pop-up window used for configuring
trigger conditions for the digital device. The trigger pop-up has four tabs for
different trigger categories.

NOTE: It’s important to note that the trigger logic always runs at a rate of

500 MHz under all modes, regardless of the selected Sample Rate. This
allows you to continue triggering on fast events even when lowering the
Sample Rate to obtain a longer timeframe of data. However, this may result
in trigger events that cannot be seen in the slower sampled acquisition
data when presented on the waveform display area.

NOTE: Please ensure that the logic thresholds selected in the Instrument
menu are appropriate prior to configuring triggers and performing

acquisition file, so trace configurations and other settings will appear the
same when the acquisition is loaded as when the file was saved.

NOTE: All raw samples are saved. This means you can reconfigure your

signals after reloading an acquisition file to view different channel in new
ways.

Save Screenshot

Located under File → Save Screenshot on the menu bar, this function
provides an easy way for the user to capture a screenshot of the
application in its current state and save it to a specified location. Your
screenshot can be saved into most standard image formats.

Send Files

Located under File → Send Files To… on the menu bar, this function allows
for easily sharing your current data and configuration. It creates a blank
email using your default email client and automatically attaches your
current setup, acquisition data, and a screenshot so that you can share
them with other LogicStudio users.

Devices

Devices functions are accessed under Devices on the menu bar.

Device Finder

Located under Devices  Device Finder, the Device Finder tool lists
supported devices currently attached to your PC via USB. This window can
also be accessed by clicking on the Device Connections button on the
dashboard. The interface allows you to select specific devices and enables
LogicStudio connectivity for digital, analog, or mixed signal operations. The
list of attached devices automatically updates when the Device Finder
window is opened or whenever devices are attached or removed from your
PC.

Connect to a device shown on the list by highlighting the name and using
the Next button to step through the setup wizard. The setup wizard will
help you correctly cable your devices in the case of MSO, and warn you of
any changes that will take place by connecting to the device.

You can also access the demo modes for LogicStudio 16 and MSO
operation. When in demo mode, no real devices are necessary and pre­generated data can be acquired from a simulated digital pod and

oscilloscope. Aside from triggering and threshold settings, most LogicStudio
features are fully functional and behave exactly as they would for real
devices.

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

 It’s not necessary to disconnect from a device in order to

connect to a different one. Simply connect to the new one and
the previous one is disconnected automatically.

 If a connected device is not on the list it may be an

unsupported manufacturer/model. Otherwise, use the Refresh
List option to force detection. If it still does not appear, check
the connection and device settings and try again.

 If a connected device is not working properly, verify the

software version of the connected device. LogicStudio works
best with the most recent software version.

During subsequent program startups, LogicStudio remembers and, if
available, auto-connects to the last connected devices.

NOTE: Before you can perform mixed signal acquisitions (analog and digital)

using LogicStudio, ensure a proper oscilloscope/PC USB connection and
make sure the Trig Out line from LogicStudio16 is connected to the
external trigger input on your oscilloscope using with the BNC cable
provided with your LogicStudio16.

A proper connection configuration diagram is provided during setup in the
Device Finder window.

made pressing the Utility button on the oscilloscope and
selecting Options.

 At time per division settings of 100ns/div and faster, the

TDS1000 and TDS2000 series oscilloscopes interpolate points
between samples. This makes the available timeline shorter
with no increased resolution and is not recommended for use
with LogicStudio as it may cause your trigger event to be
outside the acquired oscilloscope timeline.

NOTE: During MSO operations, the oscilloscope’s front panel will be locked.

Attempting to adjust settings through the front panel while acquiring signal
may put the oscilloscope out of sync with LogicStudio. It is recommended
that you do not adjust scope settings unless LogicStudio’s Run Mode is set
to Stop.
