Using The State Analyzer
Introduction In this chapter you will learn how to use the state analyzer by setting up
the logic analyzer to make a simple state measurement. We give you the
measurement results as actually measured by the logic analyzer, since you
may not have the same circuit available.
The exercise in this chapter is organized in a task format. The tasks are
orderedinthesamewayyouwillmostlikelyuseonceyoubecomean
experienced user. The steps in this format are both numbered and lettered.
The numbered steps state the step objective. The lettered steps explain

menu after it has been properly set up.
How you use the steps depends on how much you remember from the
Getting Started Guide. If you can set up each menu by just looking at the
menu picture, go ahead and do so. If you need a reminder of what steps
you need to perform, follow the numbered steps. If you still need more
information about "how," use the lettered steps.
Problem
Solving with
the State
Analyzer
In this example assume you have designed a microprocessor controlled
circuit. You have completed the hardware, and the software designer has
completed the software and programmed the ROM (read-only memory).
When you turn your circuit on for the first time, it doesn’t work properly.
You have checked the power supply voltages and the system clock and
they are working properly.
Since the circuit has never worked before, you and the software engineer
aren’t sure if it is a hardware or software problem. You need to do some
testing to find a solution.
