Getting Started Manual
The Menu Bar
The Menu Bar is a series of pull down listings along the top of the application screen. These pull down listings
provide access to some additional features and alternative ways use some aforementioned functions and
controls.
Save/Load Setup, Acquisition, or Screenshot
Save/Load functions are accessed under File on the menu bar.
Save/Load Setup
Located under File → Save/Load Setup on the menu bar, this function lets you save your current configuration
to a file or load a previously saved file back into LogicStudio. This includes all configurations of signals, device
settings, triggering, and view state.
Default Setup
Located under File → Default Setup on the menu bar, this function resets the application setup to the default
configuration. The default setup contains 16 simple digital line signals D0 – D15.
Save/Load Acquisition
Located under File → Save/Load Acquisition on the menu bar, this function allows you to save the complete set
of samples (digital and/or analog) included in your currently displayed acquisition. When using the RearView
tool, the currently selected acquisition is saved. The resulting acquisition file can then be re‐opened in
LogicStudio for further examination, or sent to another LogicStudio user (along with your Setup configuration)
for additional analysis. Data loaded into LogicStudio can be manipulated and displayed exactly the same as when
it's acquired live.
Note: All raw samples are saved. This means you can reconfigure your signals after reloading an acquisition file
to view different channel in new ways.
Save Screenshot
Located under File → Save Screenshot on the menu bar, this function provides an easy way for the user to
capture a screenshot of the application in its current state and save it to a specified location. Your screenshot
can be saved into most standard image formats.
Devices
Devices functions are accessed under Devices on the menu bar.
Device Connections
The LogicStudio 16 and oscilloscope options behave exactly like the Device Connections buttons on the
dashboard.
Simulate Devices
Toggle this option to switch demo mode on/off. When in demo mode no real devices are necessary and pre‐
generated data can be acquired from a simulated digital pod and oscilloscope. Aside from triggering and
threshold settings, most LogicStudio features are fully functional and behave exactly as they would for real
devices.
Setup
Setup functions are accessed under Setup on the menu bar.
The setup menu provides alternative access to Signals, Instrument, and Trigger setup windows identical to the
buttons on the dashboard.
