Mixed Mode - Correlation of State and Timing Data

Mixed mode allows you to analyze a system in both state and timing modes simultaneously. A common example is using the state analyzer to capture a problem that occurs infrequently and then using the timing analyzer to analyze the problem in detail. The Mixed Mode exercises will show you how to use the mixed mode capabilities of the timing and state analyzers. These exercises are built on the timing and state exercises in chapters 2 and 3.

If your logic analyzer is an HP 1663 or HP 1664, you will not be able to perform these exercises. These analyzers have 32 data acquisition channels on two pods. All 32 channels may be assigned to either state or timing analysis, but they cannot be separated to perform mixed mode measurements.

In this chapter you will:

•Connect the timing analyzer

•Enable time-correlation between the timing and state analyzers

•Arm the timing analyzer with the state analyzer

•Run the analyzers and view the mixed mode display with time correlated markers
