The Debug Store
New 32-Channel, 1GHz Logic Analyser from The Debug Store
The Debug Store is pleased to announce that the New LA-Gold-36 Logic Analyser from Janatek is now in stock. The LA-Gold-36 is a high performance logic analyser with an integrated pattern generator. It was designed to be...
The LA-Gold-36 has a large data buffer of 1 Mega samples per
channel for sampling rates of up to 1 GHz on all 32 channels. The large
buffer allows long capture times at high sampling rates. The digital
logger function is for capturing very slow varying signals, e.g. room
temperature.
The LA-Gold-36´s integrated pattern generator can be
used in conjunction with the logic analyser. The user can set up the
instrument to output data to the unit under test (UUT) with the pattern
generator and then measure its response with the logic analyser. This, and
other flexible triggering options for both the logic analyser and pattern
generator functions, makes the LA-Gold-36 a cut above the rest.
The
LA-Gold-36 connects to the PC via USB2.0 for rapid display
updates.
