Gain rapid insight from display and analysis tools

Once you have imported your data you can add disply and

analysis tools to get rapid insight and solve problems.

With the Waveform/Chart

Display you can:

• Validate correct hardware

operation by viewing timing

relationships between multiple

buses and signals, including

analog and digital signals

from an Agilent InfiniiVision

oscilloscope.

• Group signals into an

unlimited number of buses.

• Re-order signals/buses to

group related signals or place

signals of interest next to

each other.

Figure 7. Simultaneously view time-correlated analog and digital

waveforms on your PC screen

• Individually color and size the

signals/buses to highlight and

differentiate areas of interest.

• View data in a format you

understand—binary, hex,

decimal, ASCII, or user-defined

symbols.

• Compare signals/buses directly

with the Overlay feature. The

ability to overlay waveforms

can be useful when you are

looking for problems concering

the relationship between

digital and analog signals.

• Graphically validate digitized

signals to and from A/D

converters by charting the

values of a bus over time.

• Display a bus or signal using

meaningful names (symbols)

rather than numeric values.

Easily make measurements and

mark areas of interest with time

and voltage markers

• Track down tough problems

and accurately place markers

to make critical timing and

voltage measurements.

• Designate the same point

in time throughout every

display with up to 1,024 time-

correlated markers.

• Mark and navigate to points

of interest with individually

colored, named and annotated

markers.

Figure 9. Use markers to measure the time between the rising edge and

falling edge on a signal of interest

• Make quick, precise

measurements on digital

signals with snap-to-edge

marker placement.

Quickly navigate through deep

traces to find the data of interest

• Draw a box to zoom in and out

to get just the view you want.

• Receive instant feedback on

the exact position of the

display data relative to the

entire trace.

• Scroll rapidly through the

measurement using the scroll

bars.

• Track a symptom on one bus

to its cause on another bus

or signal using time-correlated

global markers.

• Traverse the trace quickly

using beginning, trigger and

end icons.

• Receive instant feedback on

the exact position of the

display data relative to the

entire trace.

7

Find meaning in the most complex

data with Find and Filter tools

• The Find tool allows you to

quickly search for specific bus/

signal patterns in deep traces.

• Focus on just the information

you need. Filter uninteresting

data such as idle states from

deep, complex acquisition

traces.

• Perform multiple analysis

scenarios without re-acquiring

data when you’re not sure what

you're looking for.

Figure 10. Gain quick insights into event frequency throughout a trace by using

the color selection in the Filter tool. Advanced filtering capabilities of data

record. Shown here is a data write value of D5 on My Bus 1 and voltage level

range of 2 to 2.5 V.

• Gain quick insight into the

frequency of an event. Scroll

through the trace with the

filter tool’s color highlighting

enabled.

• Save time performing your

favorite analysis scenarios.

Store, recall and share

your favorite search/filter

conditions, each individually

named for easy recognition.

• Locate the next occurrence of

a given event in the trace by

simply drawing a box around

the event of interest.

• The Filter tool lets you show

or suppress events, based on

criteria such as the cycle type

or chip select. You can also

display each type of event in a

different color.

Other display and analysis tools

Listing

Displays data patterns and sequences of events in the same order they were captured and

placed into memory.

Packet viewer

Displays summarized and detailed packet information simultaneously within two panes.

The window is automatically customized for the protocol family being decoded. The upper

packet summary pane displays decoded packets and fields. The lower pane contains

tabs for viewing selected packet details, header, payload, and lane information.

Source correlation

VBA View

Displays time-correlated source code and inverse assembly simultaneously in a split

display. Requires access to source files via the LAN or instrument hard drive to provide

source code correlation. Source correlation does not require any modification or

recompilation of your source code.

®

The VbaView window works with the integrated Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications

(VBA) to provide custom data visualization charts. VBA View is a licensed feature that

requires purchase of the B4606A advanced customization environment.

The offline viewer also supports additional analysis tools for data

captured with a logic analyzer. Refer to the 16800 (5989-5063EN)
