Probing and Sampling Mode Selection Steps

Step 2. Choose the sampling mode

There are three logic analyzer sampling modes to choose from: timing mode, state mode, and eye scan mode.

In timing mode, the logic analyzer samples asynchronously, based on an internally-generated sampling clock.

In state mode, the logic analyzer samples synchronously, based on a sampling clock signal from the device under test. Typically, the signal used for sampling in state mode is a state machine or microprocessor clock signal.

In eye scan mode, the logic analyzer samples small windows of time and voltage on data channels around a clock signal from the device under test. The resulting eye diagrams let you validate and characterize the data valid windows of signals latched on the clock.

To choose the sampling mode

1.In the Sampling tab, choose Timing Mode, State Mode, or Eye Scan Mode.
