Correlating data between a Tektronix oscilloscope and logic analyzer
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 c onnect 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 p rocess of connecting the iView cable between your logic analyzer and
oscilloscope.
A setup window is also available to help y ou 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.
1. Select Add iView External
Oscilloscope... from the logic
analyzer S ystem menu.
2. Select your model of oscilloscope.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions, and
then click Next.
4. See your Tektronix Logic Analyzer
documentation for more information
on correlating data between the logic
analyzer and the oscilloscope.
