Tektronix, Inc. Logic Analyzer TLA721

The TLA721 is a Logic Analyzer Mainframe from Tektronix. A logic analyzer is a type of electronic test equipment that engineers use to capture and display signals from a digital circuit or system. Logic analyzers are useful for measuring data, such as state machine traces, timing diagrams, and protocol decodes. When an engineer needs to view the timing relationship between multiple signals, he or she will use a logic analyzer for signal monitoring over time.

If using TLA7Axx iConnect with a TDS6404, TDS6604, TDS7154, TDS7404, CSA7154 or CSA7404 oscilloscope, four TCA-BNC connectors are required to be compatible with BNC cables from the TLA7Axx module. The TLA721 mainframe is a modular mainframe that accept TLA7Axx and TLA7Lx/Mx/Nx/Px/Qx logic analyzer modules, as well as TLA7PG2 pattern generator modules. The TLA721 can be used in conjunction with a TLA7XM expansion mainframe to provide solutions for large numbers of buses and high channel count requirements. The TLA721 mainframe is built on a Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Professional PC platform that offers a familiar work environment. TLA applications operate like any other PC application. The TLA721 mainframe comes standard with dual display capability for extended desktop viewing, in addition to an internal CD-RW, hard disk and PC card slots for expansion. A replaceable hard disk is standard on both mainframes, ideal for security or enabling individual team members to store personal setups and data. Trigger in/out connections provide an interface to other external instrumentation, such as TDS oscilloscopes, for correlating measurement results. The image is a representation of selection.
