    Signal Activity offers the user real-time views of what the probes are seeing. Two modes are available; Real-time Frequencies and Signal Status. By means of these functions the LAP-F1 monitors signal frequencies and states, thus assuming the function of a frequency counter and that of a logic pen.

    4.39. eMMC/SD (4 ch. default) The LAP-F1 can decode both eMMC5.1 and SD3.0 protocols. When making a standard purchase, the LAP-F1 offers the possibility to decode 4 – four - eMMC signals (four special eMMC probes are delivered for this purchase). See Figure 4-49 for the eMMC display setup dialog box.

    4.40. eMMC/SD (32 ch. full version) This optional function is available for the LAP-F1. Purchasing the optional, full eMMC5.1 and SD3.0 decoding capability, the user will unlock 32 channels for 2 GHz sampling to fully trigger and decode all the signals of eMMC5.1/SD3.0.

Figure 4-51 I/O Delay dialog box Item Description Post Calibration This option is used to adjust timing skew post-acquisition.

  • Page 102: Long-Time Record

    The Long-time Record (LTR) function lets the user stream data directly to the computer over USB3.0, thus allowing much longer acquisitions than during normal operations when the samples are stored in the LAP-F1’s internal memory. The LTR function is perfect for, as an example, burn-in tests. The maximum length of the acquisition depends on the acquisition rate, the number of channel sampled, and the available memory.

  • Page 103: Channel Folding

    4.44. Channel Folding This optional function is available for the LAP-F1. Channel Folding is used to concentrate the total memory of the LAP-F1 on a limited number of channels. Much like folding a paper increases the thickness by a factor of two Channel Folding doubles the available memory per channel if half the channels are deactivated.

  • Page 104: Figure 4-53 Channel Folding Dialog Box

    NOTE There is one exception to the duplication of available memory: For the 40 channel LAP-F1 model the active channels must be reduced to 16, not 20, to double the memory. Thereafter, the half channels/double memory pattern described above becomes valid.
