Using the Logic Analyzer
Accessing the Menus
To access the Analyzer menus
The Analyzer menus allow you to control the analyzer to make your
measurement, perform operations on the data, and view the results on
the display.

1Select the mode field.

A pop-up menu appears with the choices System, Analyzer, and
Patt Gen or Scope (if you have one of these options). If you have
installed any optional software, there may be other choices as well.

2Select Analyzer.

3Select the menu field.

The figure on the next page does not show all of the possible menus
because certain menus are only accessible with the analyzer configured
in a particular mode. For instance, the Compare menu is only available
when you set an analyzer to state mode, and the SPA menu requires an
analyzer set to SPA.
•Configuration is always available in Analyzer mode. Use Conf iguration to
assign pods and set the analyzer type.
•Format is available whenever an analyzer is set to a type other than "Off."
Use Format to create data labels and symbols, adjust the pod threshold
level, and set modes and clocks.
•Trigger is available when an analyzer is set to State or Timing. Use Trigger
to specify a trigger sequence which will filter the raw information into the
measurement you want to see.
•Listing is available when an analyzer is set to State or Timing. Use Listing
to view your measurement as a list of states. Using an inverse assembler, a
state analyzer can display the measurement as though it were assembly
code.
•Compare is available only when an analyzer is set to State. Use Compare to
compare two listings and quickly scroll to the sections where they differ.
