Formatting Labels for Logic Analyzer Probes

Formatting Labels for Logic Analyzer Probes

The Format tab is mainly for assigning bus and signal names (from the device under test), to logic analyzer channels. These names are called labels. Labels are used when setting up triggers and displaying captured data.

The Format tab also lets you do things like assign pods to the logic analyzer, specify the logic analyzer threshold voltage, change the label polarity, reorder bits in a label, and turn labels off or on.

The Format tab has activity indicators that show signal levels.

To assign pods to the analyzer

The logic analyzer pods can be assigned to the logic analyzer, or, they can be left unassigned.

1.In the Format tab, select the Pod Assignment button.

2.In the Pod Assignment dialog, drag a pod to the logic analyzer.

3.Select the Close button.
