1.Refer to Figure 11- 16. Press the Logic Type softkey. From this menu, choose a logic type.

CAUTION Changing the logic type can increase or decrease the signal voltage level. To avoid damaging the device and/or the N5102A module, ensure that both are capable of handling the voltage change.

2.Select the logic type required for the device being tested.

A caution message is displayed whenever a change is made to the logic types, and a softkey selection appears asking for confirmation.

3.Refer to Figure 11- 16. Press the Port Configuration softkey.

In this menu, select either a serial, parallel, or parallel interleaved data transmission.

NOTE Within the data and clock setup softkey menus, only softkeys that are relative to the current configuration are active. Softkeys that are grayed out are not available for the current setup. Refer to the help text to determine which parameter is causing the softkey to be unavailable. To get help information, press the Help hardkey, then press the unavailable softkey.

4. Select the port configuration for the device being tested.
