8 Theory of Operation
Theory of Operation
This chapter describes the theory of operation for the logic
analysis system and describes the self- tests. The information
in this chapter is to help you understand how the logic
analysis system operates and what the self-tests are testing.
This information is not intended for component-level repair.
