100 MHz Logic Analyzer/Digital Pattern Generators
Pattern Generator
External Control
On a per-channel basis, you can programmatically configure channels to
drive data to your DUT through the same flying-lead cable. You can use
any set of channels for pattern generation at the same time you use
another set of channels to acquire data. NI 6552 bundles are capable of
switching between generation and analysis on a per-cycle basis. The
The digital waveform generator/analyzers included in the NI 6542 and
NI 6552 bundles offer a number of options for controlling the generation
and acquisition capabilities with external signals. Along with the ability to
import a sample clock or export the internal clock, four general-purpose
I/O lines are available for receiving external triggers or for generating
digital instruments have 32 MB of onboard memory for the acquired data events, such as the Data Active Event, for handshaking with the DUT.
and a separate 32 MB of memory to store complex patterns for generation. Using triggers and the linking and looping (scripting) features of the
The NI Digital Waveform Editor provides an interactive tool for creating,
editing, and importing digital patterns. Once created, a pattern can be
configured to be output to your DUT with a single step in NI SignalExpress.
board, you can dynamically control the waveforms generated and the
length of generation.
Mixed-Signal System in SignalExpress
SignalExpress not only includes digital analysis, acquisition, and
generation capabilities, but it also provides a range of instrument control
options for integrating other PCI, PXI, or stand-alone instruments into
a single system. You can program the complete system using the
interactive steps in SignalExpress. The shared architecture between the
digital instruments and many of the NI digitizers and arbitrary waveform
generators makes it easy to create a synchronized mixed-signal system.

Data Analysis and Logging
The PC-based implementation means that, unlike traditional logic analyzers,
the full power of the computer is readily available to perform complex
analysis, data logging, and report generation. With SignalExpress, you can
easily export the captured data to file and save images of the captured
waveforms for easy report generation. Using National Instruments
LabVIEW, you can create custom analysis steps to plug into SignalExpress
to best match application needs.

Stimulus Response
The generation and acquisition capabilities of these instruments make
them ideal for stimulus-response applications. NI 6542 bundles can drive
data on one set of channels while simultaneously analyzing the response
data on the remaining channels. NI 6552 bundles offer more advanced
features, including per-cycle tristate and real-time hardware comparison.
With per-cycle tristate, you can switch from analyzing data to generating
data on a per-channel, per-clock-cycle basis. Real-time hardware
comparison checks the acquired data against the known expected
response for errors at the full clock rate of the digital instrument.
