Concilium Technologies has announced availability of View Scope, Agilent Technologies' new software for the Agilent 16900, 1680 and 1690 Series logic analysers using the 3.30 version firmware.
View Scope enables accurate, automatically time-correlated measurements between Agilent's logic analysers and oscilloscopes using standard BNC and Ethernet/LAN connections, it says. Utilising standard connectivity, View Scope simplifies and lowers the cost for correlated measurements between logic analysers and oscilloscopes. Engineers can analyse captured analog and digital waveform data with ease and confidence, says Concilium.
"It instantly validates the logical and timing relationships between the analog and digital portions of your design whilst you view oscilloscope and logic analyser waveforms integrated into a single logic analyser waveform display," says Andrew Lees, internal sales engineer at Concilium. "The Agilent logic analysers and oscilloscopes deliver the power and performance required to conquer the toughest debug problems."
Cross-domain measurements are imperative in today's complex digital designs in which analog characteristics need to be analysed in relation to high-speed digital signals. Tightly linked, correlated instruments provide insight into circuit behaviour beyond what is available with each tool individually.
"Increasing our customers' productivity and reducing debug time are key considerations in defining tools that address the challenges of characterising both analog and digital data found in today's designs," said Siegfried Gross, general manager and vice president of Agilent's Digital Verification Solutions Division. "Agilent's new View Scope capability quickly integrates our logic analysers with our oscilloscopes, saving engineers time and increasing measurement confidence."
Features provided with View Scope include:
* Automatic de-skew. Measurements between logic analysers and oscilloscopes are automatically synchronised to the trigger. This saves time by eliminating the need to manually align waveforms and provides reliable, accurate measurements.
* Combined waveform display. The oscilloscope's waveforms are displayed auto-scaled on the logic analyser's timing waveform display. This provides a comprehensive, accurate view of the timing relationships between analog and digital waveforms.
* Time-correlated markers. The global markers in the logic analyser and the time markers in the oscilloscope are precisely correlated, providing the user with accurate cross-domain measurements.
* Standard cable connections. The physical connection between the logic analyser and oscilloscope requires two standard BNC cables for cross triggering and an Ethernet/LAN cable for data transfer.
