How does the Agilent “Eye Finder” technology work?
A. To make reliable state measurements, a logic analyzer needs to sample stable data. As bus speeds increase, the time when data is stable decreases, so adjusting the setup and hold window of the logic analyzer becomes more critical. Jitter, skew, and pattern dependent inter-symbol interference also make the window smaller. The new “eye-finder” technology solves this problem by automatically adjusting the setup and hold window on each logic analyzer channel. Eye finder ensures the highest confidence in accurate state measurements on high speed buses because it aligns the setup and hold window on every channel for optimal data capture.
