Breakthrough Solutions for Real-time Digital Systems Analysis
The TLA715 and TLA721 mainframes are modular mainframes that accept TLA7Axx and TLA7Lx/Mx/Nx/Px/Qx logic analyzer modules, as well as TLA7PG2 pattern generator modules. The TLA715 and TLA721 can be used in conjunction with a TLA7XM expansion mainframe to provide solutions for large numbers of buses and high channel count requirements.
The TLA715 and TLA721 mainframes are built on a Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Professional PC platform that offers a familiar work environment. TLA applications operate like any other PC application.
The TLA715 and TLA721 mainframes come standard with dual display capability for extended desktop viewing, in addition to an internal CD-RW, hard disk and PC card slots for expansion. A replaceable hard disk 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 TDS oscilloscopes, for correlating measurement results.

*1 All logic analyzer (LA) and pattern generator (PG) modules are dual-wide or occupy two single-wide slots.
*2 TLA7XM Expansion Module occupies one single-wide slot in both the TLA715/TLA721 mainframes and the TLA7XM expansion mainframe.
*3 Using a TLA7XM expansion mainframe with an existing TLA714/TLA720 mainframe requires Version 4.0 or higher TLA application software. TLA720 benchtop mainframes, S/N: B019999 and lower, require TLA7UP Option 09 TLA720 Benchtop Mainframe Upgrade. Please refer to the TLA Upgrade Guide for further details.
