Lesson 1 – Analog Modules
94
1-5 Time Interval Analyzer
Two types of Time Interval Analyzers are available for the Agilent
93000 SOC Series:
• E9691A High Performance TIA
 Software Identifier: TIA
• E9705A General Purpose TIA
 Software Identifier: TIA
Both TIAs are identical in design and in the way they are set up
and used. They only have different specs.
NOTE Although both types have the same software identifier TIA, they can
be referred to individually in the software by specifying the slot and
instrument number (e.g. TIA225_1).
The following is a simplified block diagram of the TIA:
Block Diagram of TIA
The TIA is separated into two blocks, the front-end module and
the TIA instrument. The front-end module is in the testhead. The
TIA instrument is in the analog support rack. One front-end
module supports up to two TIA instruments, which can be of the
same type, or of different types.
