Step input
Maintaining signal fidelity to the logic analyzer is critical if the analyzer is to
accurately capture data. One measure of a system's signal fidelity is to compare
V
in
to V
out
for various step inputs. For the following graphs, V
in
is the signal at
the logic analyzer probe tip measured by double probing with an Agilent 54701A
probe into an Agilent 54750A oscilloscope (total 2.5 GHz BW). Eye Scan is used
to measure V
out
, the signal seen by the logic analyzer. The measurements were
made on a mid-bus connection to a 50
Ω
transmission line load terminated at the
receiver. These measurements show the logic analyzer's response while using
the flying lead and ground extender configuration.

The following graphs demonstrate the logic analyzer's probe response to
different rise times. These graphs are included for you to gain insight into the
expected performance of the different recommended accessory configurations.
