Each line on the Timing window can represent a single channel or a group of channels.	Group of Channels Displayed as a Waveform  format

 

Statelist Window

Data in the Statelist window is organized into groups and displayed in a numeric format (ASCII, binary, HEX, decimal or user defined mnemonics). These groups are user defined and can have from 1 to 32 channels in them. This window has 4 data cursors that can be used to measure time between events or as markers for places of particular interest. These are the same cursors as the ones in the Timing window and can be used as a reference point when viewing data in both windows.

Search Function

Sorting through all your data is easier with our search feature. You can specify a search pattern (including Don't Care bits) in any of the shown numeric bases. Then just click on the forward or backwards search to find what you are looking for.

 I2C Monitor Software (optional)

View I2C codes from a separate window within our Windows based control software. Displays I2C commands. Start, Stop, Read, Write, Slave address, Address, Data, ACK and NACK. Displays Timing of all activity on the Clock and Data lines showing you everything that happened, including valid I2C codes, glitches, timing errors and other non-I2C data. Since this is a logic analyzer, you have plenty of other channels to monitor the rest of your circuit while still viewing the I2C bus. Compare I2C codes with actual circuit behavior. Are your commands actually doing what you expected? You have all of the logic analyzer's resources to verify and debug your circuit response. What makes this product so superior to other I2C Monitors is that you are also be able to see all activity on the Clock and Data lines in Timing and Statelist display

Cursor Controls & Settings

The current position and time between the cursors is shown here. Cursor position can be changed from this window or in the Timing window by clicking and dragging them.

Pulse Measurements

The LA-5000 software can also perform Pulse Measurement calculations.

Up to 8 measurements for each channel can be displayed at the same time.

Calculations can be performed on the entire buffer or on a range defined by 2 cursors.

Measurements include:

Pulse width (logical 0), Pulse width (logical 1), Minimum Pulse width (logical 0), Minimum Pulse width (logical 1),Maximum Pulse width (logical 0), Maximum Pulse width (logical 1),Frequency, Period, Duty cycle (rising), Duty cycle (falling) and Pulse count.

Software Compatibility

The LA-2124 logic analyzers have software for Win XP, Win 2K, Win NT, Win 95, and Win 98. The logic analyzers are PC-based and we regularly upgrade the software with more features and support for new operating systems. Software updates are free and available on the website.

Printer Support

Statelist and Timing waveforms can be printed on any Windows compatible printer.

File Save/Export

The logic analyzer data can be stored on your PC in a number of ways: Files can be saved to disk for future viewing. Data can be exported in "CSV" format to programs like Mathcad, Excel, Word, etc... You can paste screen images into your reports using programs like Word, Excel, image editors, etc... Data can even be shared with other computers. You don't need to have our logic analyzer connected to a computer to view the data files. You can capture data in the lab and view it in your office or you can email it to other engineers at remote locations for analysis.

High Speed Operation (up to 100MHz)

Although theoretically you need your logic analyzer to capture at only twice your data rate, in reality you need much more than that. Our analyzers provide up to 100MHz (100MSa/s) clock rates for accurate and detailed data capture.

Low speed sample rate (signal appears good)	High speed sample rate (notice the glitch)

Deep Data Buffers (up to 512K samples per channel)

Simply put, the deeper the buffer the better. Our data buffer gives you the flexibility to store a great number of events surrounding the trigger. Sometimes it is difficult to pinpoint the exact event that you want to trigger on. With our system you don't need to know exactly where to trigger since our large buffer will capture so many events. And of course you can capture long events that other analyzers may cut off. Also, you can maintain higher sampling rates to get more detail without running out of buffer space.

Continuously Variable Pre/Post Trigger Position

The continuously variable pre/post trigger positioning enables the user to control the amount of data recorded before and after the trigger event. The trigger cursor can be positioned anywhere in the buffer (up to 512K) so that can see a long train of events that led up to the trigger condition, a long series that followed the trigger or many events surrounding it.

Advanced Triggering

Our Logic Analyzer captures the data that is important to you. Its sophisticated 16 level triggering (up to 160 bits each) lets you fine tune the exact point to start capturing. Multilevel triggering can be used to look for a sequence of events (i.e. address xxxx1110xx111x0x followed by address 11xx1110xx111x0x).

Number of Levels	16 sequential trigger levels
Trigger Conditions	0,1 and DON'T CARE for all channels
Trigger Edge	True of False

Over Voltage Protection

Unlike other analyzers, our LA-5000 series are designed to protect themselves from over voltage damage. If you accidentally touch the wrong pin, you are unlikely to damage anything. The analyzer's logic inputs can handle +/- 120V continuously.

Pattern Generator Output (optional)

With the optional 100 Mpoints/s pattern generator pods the LA-5000 series can be configured to work as a pattern generator. As few as 16 or as many as 160 channels (max # of channels depends on model) can be configured to output. The remaining channels will continue to function as inputs. The output data can be generated using our software, from your files or acquired through the input channels. Output voltage: High: Minimum 2V at 32mA. Low: Maximum 0.55V at 64mA.

Standard Accessories

The standard kit includes LA, software, logic pods, clips and wires.

Clips

A full set of color coded clips and wires is included. The double gripper is designed for hard-to-make test connections of varying sizes and shapes. The narrow configuration allows stacking of the test connectors side-by-side for high-density IC packages and surface-mount components. Two 0.025" square pins permit connection to 0.025" square or .030" round push-on adapters or jumpers. Other options include: Connecting the wires directly to 0.025" posts on your board and connecting your wires/cables to the posts on the logic pod.

Wires

Wires are used to connect the logic analyzer to either the clips, or directly to the circuit under test. The wires are 10 inches long and have female connectors at each end. These plug onto standard 0.025" posts on your circuit or to the pins on the clips. The other end plugs onto the pins of the data pod.

Data Pods

A complete set of data pods is included. Each pod uses a 13.5" cable to connect to the analyzer. You can plug individual wires into the pod or use our included (as of 6/2005) wire harness to quickly connect/disconnect an entire pods worth of wires at a time.

Flexible Interface Options

The LA-5000 series Logic Analyzers support both USB 2.0 and parallel port communications with your laptop or desktop Windows computer.

USB 2.0 Support

• Allows connection between an LA-5000 series and the USB 2.0* port of your laptop or desktop computer

• Faster transfer rate

• Compatible with WinXP, Win2000, Win98 and WinMe software only

  * The adapter will work with USB 1.0 computers also

Parallel Port (printer port) Support

The LA-5000 directly supports connection to your PC's parallel port. Compatible with Win95, Win 98, Win ME, Win NT, Win 2K, and Win XP software only Software Libraries (DLL) The LA-5000 comes with FrontPanelTM for WinXP, Win2K, WinNT, WinME, Win98 and Win95. However, if you wish to write your own software to drive the unit, you can buy our optional DLL library. The DLL was written in Visual C++ and includes a sample program that allows you to configure the device, capture data and transfer it to the PC. The DLL library works under for Win2K and WinXP for the USB version of the LA.
