Chapter 1: Getting Started
Step 2. Choose the sampling mode
If you chose Timing Mode
1. Select the timing analyzer full/half channel configuration.
Typically, you can choose a half-channel configuration with faster
sampling and greater memory depth, b ut with half of the channels.
2. Set the sample period.
To capture signal level changes reliably, the sample period should be less
than half (many engineers prefer on e-fourth) of the period of the fastest
signal you want to measure.
If you chose State Mode
1. Select the state analyzer spe ed configuration (if there is a configuration
option).
2. In the Clock Setup, using the Master only mode, specify which clock signal
edges from the device under test wi ll be used as the sampling clock.
