Offline Analysis 

Offline analysis allows a user to be able to analyze a trace offline at a PC so it frees up 
the analyzer for another person to use the analyzer to capture data.   
 
If you have already used the license that was included with your package on a 
1680/90/900 analyzer and would like to have the offline analysis feature on a PC you 
may buy additional licenses, please contact FuturePlus sales department. 
 
In order to view decoded data offline, after installing the 1680/90/900 operating system 
on a PC, you must install the FuturePlus software.  Please follow the installation 
instructions for “Setting up a 16900 analyzer”.  Once the FuturePlus software has been 
installed and licensed follow these steps to import the data and view it. 
 
From the desktop, double click on the Agilent logic analyzer icon.  When the application 
comes up there will be a series of questions, answer the first question asking which 
startup option to use, select Continue Offline.  On the analyzer type question, select 
cancel.  When the application comes all the way up you should have a blank screen with 
a menu bar and tool bar at the top. 

For data from a 16900 analyzer, open the .ala file using the File, Open menu selections 
and browse to the desired .ala file. 

 

 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After clicking “next” you must browse for the fast binary data file you want to import.  
Once you have located the file and clicked start import, the data should appear in the 
listing.
