Correlating Data Between a Tektronix Oscilloscope and Logic Analyzer
Today almost every design is a high-speed design with fast clock edges and data rates. For these designs, you need to
see the analog characteristics of high-speed digital signals in relation to complex digital events in the circuit. iView is your
window into the digital and analog world. The iView capability seamlessly integrates and automatically time-correlates data
from Tektronix logic analyzers and oscilloscopes, so you can transfer analog waveforms from the oscilloscope to the logic
analyzer display with the click of a mouse. View time-correlated analog and digital signals side-by-side and pinpoint the
source of elusive glitches and other problems in moments.
The iView External Oscilloscope Cable allows you to connect your logic analyzer to a Tektronix oscilloscope, enabling
communication between the two instruments. The Add External Oscilloscope wizard, which is available from the TLA
application System menu, will guide you through the process of connecting the iView cable between your logic analyzer and
oscilloscope.
A setup window is also available 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.
