Chapter 1: Agilent Technologies 16712A 128K Sample Logic Analyzer

Setting Up a Measurement

Select Single or Repetitive

Runs can be single or repetitive. Single runs gather data until the logic 
analyzer memory is full, and then stop. Repetitive runs keep repeating 
the same measurement and are useful for gathering statistics. To stop a 
run, select the 

Stop

 button. 

NOTE:

Repetitive runs on a logic analyzer don't do equivalent time sampling like 
oscilloscopes do.

If Nothing Happens...

Analyzers with deep memory take a noticeable amount of time to 
complete a run. Because data is not displayed until acquisition 
completes, it may look like nothing is happening. Check the Run Status 
window to see if the logic analyzer is still running. Messages such as 
"Waiting in level 1" may indicate you need to refine your trigger. If the 
status shows as "Stopped", the analyzer either finished the acquisition, 
or was unable to run. The cause of the problem is listed in the bottom 
half of the Run Status window, and the messages are explained in more 
detail in “Error Messages” on page 33.

Step 5: Examine the Data (see page 16)

“When Something Goes Wrong” on page 33 

Examine the Data

Data from your measurement can be viewed in various display windows 
or offline. Some of the things you can do in the display windows are
