200MHz Logic Analyzer, 256Mb SDRAM, up to 16 channels, USB

Description

200MHz Logic Analyzer, 256Mb SDRAM, up to 16 channels, USB
SIGMA2
SIGMA2 is a powerful, fast, flexible, user-friendly and cost-effective logic analyzer with extremely large event memory, real-time hardware compression and complex trigger logic. It operates on a USB port and requires no external power supply.
Extremely large event memory (256 megabits = over 14 million samples)
Real-time hardware data compression
Up to 200 MHz sample speed
Up to 16 input
s
Flexible trigger options
"Logic probe" mode
Controlled and powered by USB (Full-Speed, 12 Mbps)
Advanced software for Windows and Linux
Logic Analyzer Features
Extremely large event memory
256 Megabit SDRAM memory is used and further enhanced using a real-time hardware compression which allows for 14,680,064-sample storage or for more than 45 minutes of recording.
Flexible input/sample speed options
16 inputs at 50 MHz (and lower sample speed)
8 inputs at 100 MHz
4 inputs at 200 MHz
16 inputs — sampling on change of an input signal (asynchronous clock) — trailing, falling or both edges; max. clock speed 40 MHz at 1:1 duty
15 inputs + 1 synchronous clock input (trailing or falling edge); max. clock speed 49.9 MHz
Complex trigger logic
Many various triggering options in the 16 inputs/50 MHz mode:
Any value or edge on any input condition
Defined duration of the condition ("longer than" and/or "shorter than")
Sequence of two different conditions
16-bit counter — triggering after Nth occurence of the condition
Extensive condition definition options using logical functions (N)AND,(N)OR,(N)XOR
Standard triggering options in 8-input/100MHz and 4-inputs/200MHz modes
— triggering on the input signal edge.
Trigger point can be placed at any position of recorded events from the very beginning to the end.
Advanced software
Ready for
plugins
— both ASIX and user-definable, e.g. protocol analyzers (like I2C, SPI, UART, SDRAM, Full-Speed and Low-Speed USB)
Ready for easy
multi-language support
(not applicable for plugins)
Waveforms can be saved and loaded to a computer hard drive
Waveforms can be exported to a text file for further processing
Waveforms can be printed on a printer
Flexible trace definition (any combination of input signals and constant logic levels) and trace representation (signals, buses — binary, octal, decimal, hexadecimal, ASCII). Input signal can be used in more than one trace.
Free UART, I2C and SPI protocol analyzers
Flexible control using mouse and keyboard
PC requirements: Windows 98 or higher (including 32- and 64-bit Windows 7; see user manual), Pentium 750MHz or faster CPU, at least 256 MB RAM.
Also supported on Linux using WINE.
User-friendly device
Easy connection to PC
— the comfortable USB interface.
Low power
— no power supply adapter needed.
Logic probe mode
— SIGMA2 displays momentary logic levels on all 16 inputs.
Detailed LED indication
for instant and intuitive status checking.
Fast operation
— less than 1-second delay for any selected view. (Full data download takes about 90 seconds.)
Input threshold level
is suitable for TTL, LVTTL and 2.7 to 5.5V CMOS levels.
Replaceable input buffers
— DIP parts in socket allow for easy replacement.
Upgradability
— due to flexible design based on Xilinx FPGAs, it will be possible to upgrade and enhance SIGMA2 functionality by simple software updates (e.g. frequency, period and duty cycle measurement
Small, lightweight and compact.
More than a logic analyzer
Additional debugging features will be available via software upgrades and add-on modules.
Existing software utilities included with SIGMA2:
Frequency measurement
— four independent channels with filtering and averaging
INSIDER
— flexible monitoring/debugging tool for debugging MCUs and FPGAs
