Correlating Data with a TLA5000 Logic Analyzer
To troubleshoot designs with fast clock edges and data rates, it helps to view analog characteristics of digital signals in relation to
complex digital events in the circuit. You can do that with iView, which lets you transfer analog waveforms from the oscilloscope
to the logic analyzer display. You can then view time-correlated analog and digital signals side-by-side, and use this to pinpoint
sources of glitches and other problems.
The iView External Oscilloscope Cable allows you to connect your logic analyzer to a Tektronix oscilloscope. This enables
communication between the two instruments. For DPO3000 series oscilloscopes, you also need a TEK-USB-488 adaptor. The
Add External Oscilloscope wizard, which is available from the TLA application System menu, guides you through the process of
connecting the iView cable between your logic analyzer and oscilloscope.
The TLA also provides a setup window to assist you in verifying, changing, and testing the oscilloscope settings. Before acquiring
and displaying a waveform, you must establish a connection between your Tektronix logic analyzer and oscilloscope using the
Add External Oscilloscope wizard.
