TB3016F Logic Analyzer

TravelBus Logic Analyzer

• PC-based, USB 3.0 interface/powered
• 800 MHz timing/ 200 MHz state analysis
• Digital channels : 16 (Data), 1 (Clock), 2 (I²C/DP_Aux)
• Memory : PC RAM
• Dedicated interface support: I2C

The TravelBus 3000 series is commonly utilized for measurements within the Vehicle & Automation Industry. Moreover, the TB3000 series serves as a dual-function analyzer with Logic Analyzer Mode and Protocol Analyzer Mode capabilities. Notably, the TB3016F facilitates the direct measurement of DP_Aux differential signal decoding(Trigger & Protocol Analyzer Mode is not available) and concurrently supports the analysis of multiple protocols.

DP_Aux Diff. Signal Decode:

Logic Analyzer (LA) Mode
  • Capture digital waveforms and support bus decodes. Able to stack with a DSO to form as an MSO.
  • Provides multiple storage modes, users could select to have long time recording or precision acquisition.

Long Time Record: Transitional Storage VS Compressed Storage

For signal capture and analysis, usually require to record the signal for a long time. If the data is stored in a compressed way, it will cause your software to lag or even stop functioning when decompressing the data after it is sent back to the computer. Because PC memory size might insufficient for decompressed data size. To satisfy the requirement of smooth software operation and long-term recording without missing any data, the storage method adopted by the Acute analyzer is transitional storage rather than compression. After returning to the PC software, it doesn”t need to do the decompression. The decoded results can be displayed while the analysis is finished.
