TLA7000

Series Logic Analyzers

The TLA7000 Series Logic Analyzers consist o f a 2-module portable mainframe

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

The TL708EX TekLink 8-Port Hub and a local area network (LAN) gigabit (Gb)

switch expand the system and connect it to your network. Yo u can also load

the ap

plication software on your PC.

The logic analyzers are built on the M icro soft Windows operating s ystem, which

allo

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

instrument.

The

user interface operates under the Microsoft Windows operating system.

Microsoft recommends the following to ensure your instrument is protected:
