The TLA7012 is a 136 channel Logic Analyzer 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.
The Tektronix TLA7012 Portable Benchtop mainframe is a modular mainframe that accepts TLA logic analyzer and pattern generator modules. The TLA7012 can be configured as either a master or expansion mainframe to provide solutions for large numbers of buses and high channel-count requirements.
The Tektronix TLA7012 Portable Mainframe Benchtop Mainframe along with the TLAPC1 Benchtop Controller are built on a Microsoft Windows XP Professional PC platform that offers a familiar work environment for the TLA application software. They provide multiple display capability for extended desktop viewing, in addition to an internal DVD-RW, hard drive, and multiple USB 2.0 ports for expansion. A replaceable hard drive 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 DPO oscilloscopes, for correlating measurement results.
