Breakthrough Solutions for Real-time Digital Systems Analysis

Today's digital design engineers face daily pressures to speed new products to the marketplace. The TLA600 Series logic analyzers answer the need with breakthrough solutions for the hardware design team, providing the ability to quickly monitor, capture and analyze real-time digital system operation in order to debug, verify and optimize their systems. TLA600 Series logic analyzers are affordable, entry-level logic analyzers, which are ideal for general-purpose state/timing analysis.

The TLA61x/62x logic analyzers feature front-panel controls, an integral display and support an external display simultaneously. The TLA60x logic analyzers utilize an external display.

Hardware developers appreciate the TLA600 Series logic analyzers' range of capabilities. Their broad feature set includes capturing and correlating elusive hardware faults by triggering on glitches and setup/hold violations; providing simultaneous state and high-speed timing analysis; and using state acquisition to find the cause of complex problems. Productivity and connectivity features, such as the open Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional PC platform, make the TLA600 Series logic analyzers easy to use and easy to network into the design environment.

All Tektronix TLA logic analyzers share the same TLA application software so that if you learn one, you can use them all. You can also share setups and data between them as well as display data on Windows PCs with the free TLAVu™ Offline Data Viewer.
