Microprocessors and Bus Support
The number and types of microprocessors and microcontrollers enable powerful embedded system performance but can make design verification and debugging a test challenge. The growing combination of signal processing variables increases the number of communication paths in the design, adding to system complexity. Tektronix instruments provide a better system view of mixed signal performance, enabling you to speed up the design verification and test of microcontrollers and microprocessors in your embedded system.
- Tektronix Logic Analyzers speed up verification and validate performance on hundreds of different micro packages with specific microprocessor support tools. Using a toolset configured just for your micro, you will quickly discover how your hardware design is interacting with your embedded software code.
- Tektronix Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes solve micro debugging challenges by enabling you to accurately capture, visualize and correlate up to 20 different analog and digital signals on a single instrument.
