LA-5000
Logic Analyzer
Pattern Generator

The PC based Logic Analyzers communicate with your laptop or desktop PC by USB 2.0. They offer high speed clock rates, deep buffers, many channels, sophisticated triggering, easy data management and large color displays.

The windows software makes it easy to use your Logic Analyzer. Sharing data and printing are a mouse click away.

The USB Logic Analyzer can be configured to be a Pattern Generator with the optional pattern generator pods.

I2C and SPI Analyzer

  • Translates captured I2C and SPI commands.
  • Displays Timing of all activity on the Clock and Data lines showing you everything that happened, including valid I2C codes, glitches, timing errors and other non-I2C data.
  • What makes this product so superior to other I2C Monitors is that you are able to see all activity on the Clock and Data lines in Timing and Statelist display.
  • The I2C output wizard can be used to output I2C commands to stimulate your circuit.

USB 2.0 Communications

The LA-5000 series communicates via High Speed USB 2.0.

High Speed Operation (500MSa/200MSa)

Although theoretically you need to capture at only twice your sample rate, in reality you need much more than that. Our analyzers provide up to 500MSa clock rates for accurate and detailed capture.



Deep Data Buffers (up to 512K samples per channel)

Simply put, the deeper the buffer the better. Our buffer gives you the flexibility to store a great number of events. Sometimes it is difficult to pinpoint the exact event that you want to trigger on. With our system you don't need to know exactly where to trigger since our large buffer will capture so many events. And of course you can capture long events that other analyzers may cut off. Also, you can maintain higher sampling rates to get more detail without running out of buffer space.



Pattern Generator

The optional 100 Mpoints/s pattern generator pods allow you to configure the LA as a pattern generator.  The output patterns can be generated using our program, from your files or acquired through the input channels. Output voltage: High: 1.54V to 4.54V (selectable w/type II pods), Low: Maximum 0.55V at 64mA.



Advanced Triggering

Our Logic Analyzer captures what is important to you. The 16 level triggering (up to 160 bits each) lets you fine tune the exact point to start capturing. Multilevel triggering can be used to look for a sequence of events (i.e. address xxxx1110xx111x0x followed by address 11xx1110xx111x0x).

Accessories

Wire Harnesses:
One end of the wire harness plugs into the pod and the other has connectors for 8 channels and grounds. The wires can be connected directly to 0.025" posts on your test circuit or to our test clips. 4 are included with each IO-3200 USB Logic Analyzer.

Clips:
The double gripper is designed for hard-to-make test connections of varying sizes and shapes.

Nano-Clips:
The optional Nano-clips allow you to connect to very small surface mount pins.

Logic Analyzer pods


Data Pod

A complete set of Logic Analyzer pods is included. Each pod uses a 13.5" cable to connect to the analyzer.

You can plug individual wires into the pod or use our included wire harness to quickly connect/disconnect an entire pods worth of wires at a time.

 



File Save/Export

The data can be stored on your PC in a number of ways:

  • Files can be saved to disk for future viewing.
  • Data can be exported in "CSV" format to programs like Mathcad, Excel, Word, etc...
  • You can paste screen images into your reports using programs like Word, Excel, image editors, etc...
  • Data can even be shared with other computers. You can capture data in the lab and view it in your office or email it to other engineers at remote locations for analysis - you don't need to have our instrument connected to view a file..



Software Libraries (DLL)

If you wish to write your own software to drive the unit, you can buy our optional DLL library. The DLL was written in Visual C++ and includes a sample program that allows you to configure the device, capture data and transfer it to the PC. The DLL library works under for Win7, Vista, XP and Win2K for the USB version of the LA.
