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-bandwidth oscilloscope to
examine the signal in greater detail.
