Using Deep Memory To Find The Cause Of Elusive Problems

PACQMEM (Packed ACQuisition MEMory) for the TLA 700 Series

Tektronix has a large library of support software for the TLA700 Series. This software is complementary and available from your local Tektronix Account Manager. One such package that is available is called PACQMEM or Packed ACQusition MEMory. Oftentimes, an application (e.g., video, radar, disk drives, serial communications, etc.) would benefit from trading channels for memory depth. Tektronix offers a special support package for the TLA700 Series called PACQMEM.

PACQMEM comes in a wide variety of channel and memory configurations. Depending on the width of the TLA700 Series logic analyzer module, channels can be traded for memory at up to a 16-to-1 ratio. This means that a single TLA7P4 136 channel logic analyzer module with 16 Msamples could provide 1/16 or 8 channels at 16X the memory depth for a total of 256 Msamples. A merged set of three 136 channel logic analyzer modules could provide 24 channels at 256 Msamples.

For further details on PACQMEM, please contact your local Tektronix Account Manager for further details or contact the Tektronix Customer and Sales Support Center (Inside US: 1-800-835-9433, ext. 2400, Outside US: 503-627-2400 or send e-mail to tm_app_supp@tek.com).
