These menus show only one pod assigned to each analyzer at power up. Any number of pods can be assigned to one analyzer, from none to all five. In the Format menus, only three pods appear at a time in the display. If there are any pods off screen, an additional field will be present. This field is labeled Pods ↔. To view
Seven types of fields are present in the menus. They are:
1)Label
2)Polarity (Pol)
3)Bit assignments
4)Pod threshold
5)Specify Symbols
6)Clock (state analyzer only)
7)Pod Clock (state analyzer only)
8)Clock Period (state analyzer only)
A portion of the menu that is not a field is the Activity Indicators display. The indicators appear above the bit numbers of each pod. When the logic analyzer is connected to your target system and the system is running, you will see in the Activity Indicators display for each channel that has activity. These tell you that the signals on the channels are transitioning.
The fields in the Format menus are described in the following sections. The descriptions apply to both the timing and state analyzers unless noted otherwise.
The label column contains 20 Label fields that you can define. Of the 20 labels, the logic analyzer displays only 8 at one time. To view the labels that are off screen, rotate the KNOB. The labels roll up and down.
