Be sure to follow all warnings, cautions, and notes in this manual.

TLA7000 Series Logic Analyzers

The TLA7000 Series Logic Analyzers are comprised of a 2--module portable

mainframe (TLA7012), and a 6--module benchtop mainframe (TLA7016). See

Figure i and Figure ii.

A LAN (local area network) switch and an 8--port instrument hub (TL708EX

Hub) expand the system and connect it to your network. A dedicated PC

controller (TLA7PC1) is also available, or you can load the application software

on your PC.

The logic analyzers are built upon the Windows operating system which allows

you to install any PC-compatible, third-party hardware and software on the

instrument.

The TLA7000 series logic analyzers combine high-performance logic analyzer

and pattern generator modules with optional application modules or an external

Tektronix oscilloscope.
