  • Analog-type measurements for a logic analyzer
    Patent number: 7373263
    Abstract: A logic analyzer that performs analog-type measurements on digital data includes circuitry in its acquisition system that is programmable to search through acquired data to detect analog-type signal characteristics. In a first embodiment, the logic analyzer includes a graphical user interface employing a drag-and-drop operation to apply one or more selected analog-type measurements to selected portions of the digital data record. In a second embodiment, a user may designate a particular waveform or data listing by means of a mouse-click. Each of the choices of analog-type measurements can be represented by an icon, or text, or both icon and text.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 16, 2006
    Date of Patent: May 13, 2008
    Assignee: Tektronix, Inx.
