Chapter 3: Testing Logic Analyzer Performance

Testing the module using a 16700-series Mainframe

place the blue bars in the narrow eye.

To re-align a stray channel

If the blue bar for a particular bit does not appear in its eye near the

recommended starting position, then do the following steps to realign the

sampling position of the stray channel. In the following example, the

sampling position of one channel (Label1 [2]) must be realigned with the

sampling position of the other channels. (The following example shows the

analyzer in 600 Mb/s mode.)
