Chapter 3: Testing Logic Analyzer Performance

Connect the Test Equipment

the 54845A/B oscilloscope to 930 ps.

NOTE:

On the oscilloscope move the Ax and Bx markers to the crossing points of
the pulse and the horizontal center line. Read the pulse width at the
bottom of the screen. It is displayed as “
