Stack Oscilloscope
Overview
This feature is an feature that integrates analog data captured from external oscilloscope with the digital data captured internally from the device.
Benefits:
- Correlate digital logic with analog waveforms
- Identify glitches and noise
- Verify timing relationships between digital and analog signals
Stacking Cables
For Acute oscilloscopes: Standard MCX-MCX cable
For external oscilloscopes: Optional BNC-MCX cable
- Optional BNC-MCX cable
- Length: 50 cm or 100 cm
Hardware connection
There are two methods for connecting the logic analyzer and oscilloscope:
- Method 1: Acute's logic analyzer as Master, External Oscilloscope As Slave
Direction: Acute's logic analyzer Trig-Out port connect with the external oscilloscope's Trig-In port
- Method 2: External Oscilloscope as Master, Acute's logic analyzer as Slave
Direction: External oscilloscope Trig-Out port connect with Acute's logic analyzer's Trig-In port
Requirements
Stack Oscilloscope depends on the Virtual Instrument Software Architecture (VISA) library to be installed, provided by the oscilloscope manufacturer.
| Manufacturer | Required software |
|---|---|
| Acute | Acute DSO software |
| Gwinstek | GW USB driver |
| Tektronix | TEKVISA CONNECTIVITY SOFTWARE |
| Agilent/Keysight | KEYSIGHT IO LIBRARIES SUITE |
| LeCroy | NI-VISA and Drivers |
| HAMEG | NI-VISA and Drivers |
| Rohde & Schwarz | NI-VISA and Drivers |
Software Configuration
Select The Oscilloscope
Choose oscilloscope brand from the dropdown list.
Note
Emulation mode is used to load the saved log files when there is no external oscilloscope hardware connected.
Connection Type
Select how the oscilloscope connects to the PC:
- USB: Direct USB connection
- TCP/IP: Network connection
Connect IP (TCP/IP Mode Only)
Enter the oscilloscope's IP address when using TCP/IP connection.
Recommended IP settings for direct crossover cable:
- TravelLogic: 192.168.1.2
- Oscilloscope: 192.168.1.3
- Gateway: 192.168.1.1
- DHCP: OFF
If IP settings don't take effect, please try to disable and re-enable the network interface or reboot the computer.
Test Connection / Connection Status
- Test connection: Verify communication with the oscilloscope
- Connection status: Displays the current connected oscilloscope model and automatically adds oscilloscope channels to the waveform window
Stack Delay Compensation
When our logic analyzer triggers, the Trig-Out signal travels through the connection cable to the oscilloscope, creating a time delay. This timing delay causes misalignment between digital and analog waveforms horizontally.
To compensate:
- In the waveform display, position mouse over the oscilloscope waveforms
- Hold down the Shift key
- Use the left mouse button to drag the oscilloscope waveforms to align them properly
This corrects the stack delay and synchronizes the digital and analog within the display.
