Waveform Computation
D/A Conversion of the Logic Data
The logic data measured using the logic probe is handled as digital data of 8 bits or less
or 12 bits or less, and an analog waveform is displayed through D/A conversion.
The DA8 and DA12 operators are available on DL7400 firmware version 2.16 or later.
The C-DA operator is available on version 2.40 or later.
• For Pod A and Pod B, A0 and B0 are assumed to be the highest bits and A7 and B7
are assumed to be the lowest bits.
• L1 and L2 indicate Pod A and Pod B, respectively.
• Performs D/A conversion on the logic data of the specified number of bits from the
lowest bit.
• DA8 is set using the syntax DA8(Ly,Z8).
Ly L1 or L2
Z8 (number of bits) 1 to 8
• DA12 is set using the syntax DA12(Lx,Ly,Z10).
Lx (higher bits) L1 or L2, The highest 4 bits of Lx are always discarded.
Ly (lower bits) L1 or L2
Z10 (number of bits) 9 to 12
• C-DA is set using the syntax C-DA(Lx,Ly,Z,W).
Lx (higher bits) L1 or L2, The highest 4 bits of Lx are always discarded.
Ly (lower bits) L1 or L2
Z (number of bits) 1 to 12
W (slope of the clock) 0 (rising edge), 1 (falling edge), 2 (both rising and falling edges)
The highest bit of Lx (A0 or B0) is detected as the clock bit. The logic
data is sampled by synchronizing to this clock.
Example 1: Apply the clock (rising edge) to Pod A and perform D/A
conversion on 8 bits of the Pod B data.
C-DA(L1,L2,8,0)
Example 2: Apply the clock (falling edge) to Pod A and perform D/A
conversion on 7 bits of the Pod B data.
C-DA(L1,L1,7,1)
• The scaling is fixed to Auto. Manual scaling is not possible. The center and sensitive
values according to the number of bits are as follows:

Maximum Record Length That Can Be Computed
The operation is the same as for addition, subtraction, and multiplication. See section
9.2. However, the maximum number of computed points is 2 MW. The computation
range is set by specifying the computation start point and the computation end point (see
page 9-26).
