Getting Started
This chapter provides an overview of the P6467 High-Speed Probe Adapter. It
also describes the accessories available with the P6467 Probe as well as
installation and configuration instructions.
Product Description
The P6467 High-Speed Probe Adapter is designed for the DAS/NT, DAS/XP, or
TLA 500 series logic analyzers with the 92A96 or 92C96 Data Acquisition
Modules. The probe provides high-speed data acquisition and logic analysis for
synchronous clocking applications. The probe has the following key features:
H
Synchronous data acquisition of speeds of up to 195 MHz (DIV2 mode)
H
Synchronous and asynchronous acquisition of data of speeds up to 100 MHz
(NORM mode)
H
Quick connection of data and clock signals
You can configure the probe to operate in one of two modes, DIV2 and NORM.
When you use the probe in the DIV2 mode, the probe effectively doubles the
speed and memory depth of a 92A96 Module. The NORM mode lets you acquire
data synchronously and asynchronously in speeds up to 100 MHz.
Each probe connects to the system-under-test through two connectors. Each
probe acquires 48 data signals and two clock signals through two flexible circuit
board cables.
The probe comes with application software that lets you create a reference
memory from the acquired data and transfers the data to a host. The data that is
acquired by a pair of 92A96 modules is merged into a single column for analysis
on the host. You control the application software using the EXEC Programmatic
Command Language (PCL) command from a host through GPIB or 92LANP.
The application software also contains sample setups that you can use to help set
up the logic analyzers. These setups can help you reduce the amount of time
required to set up menus for certain applications.
In addition to viewing the data on a host from the logic analyzer, you can also
view the data on the host with the Tektronix LA-OffLine software for off-line
data analysis.
