8 Clock Period

Timing Trace

Specification

Menu

This field provides greater measurement accuracy when your state input clock period is greater than 60 ns. When you select > 60 ns, the state analyzer provides greater immunity against noise or ringing in the state input clock signal; therefore, the logic analyzer provides greater accuracy when triggering another state or timing analyzer or the BNC trigger out.

If your State input clock period is less than 60 ns, you should select < 60 ns. This disables the Count field in the State Trace Specification menu because the maximum clock rate when counting is 16.67 MHz (60 ns clock period).

The Timing Trace Specification menu lets you specify the trigger point for the logic analyzer to start capturing data and the manner in which the analyzer will capture data. You configure the timing analyzer to find a pattern first and then a transition in the signal or signals.

The menu looks like that shown below. This is the default setting for the menu.
