Logic Thresholds
.
2
For each of the threshold levels shown in the following table, take
the following steps:
a
Use the Entry knob on the logic analyzer to select the threshold
voltage shown in the table.
b
On the function generator front panel, enter the DC offset voltage
shown in the table. Use the multimeter to verify the voltage.
The activity indicators for channels 0-7 should show all data channels
at a logic high.
c
Using the Modify down arrow on the function generator, decrease
offset voltage in 10-mV increments until all activity indicators for
channels 0-7 show the channels at a logic low. Record the function
generator voltage in the performance test record.
d
Using the Modify up arrow on the function generator, increase offset
voltage in 10-mV increments until all activity indicators for channels
0-7 show the channels at a logic high. Record the function generator
voltage in the performance test record.
3
Using the 8-by-2 test connector, connect channels 8-15 to the output
of the function generator.
4
Repeat steps 1 and 2, substituting channels 8-15 for channels 0-7.
5
Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the external trigger input, using the 8-by-2
test connector, and substituting the external trigger input for
channels 0-7 in the threshold menus.
