Measurements

The Eye Scan tab lets you set up and run Eye Scan measurements.

Eye Scan measurements sample small windows of time and voltage on logic analyzer data channels. The time windows are relative to a clock signal from the device under test. Captured measurement data is displayed as eye diagrams in the Eye Scan display.

Eye Scan measurements let you validate and characterize the data valid windows of signals latched by the clock. When an Eye Scan measurement shows a signal with setup/hold problems or some other anomaly, you can use a high-speed or high-bandwidthoscilloscope to examine the signal in greater detail.
