Examine The Data; When Something Goes Wrong" On - Agilent Technologies 16712A Help Manual

Chapter 1: Agilent Technologies 16712A 128K Sample Logic Analyzer
Setting Up a Measurement
Select Single or Repetitive
Runs can be single or repetitive. Single runs gather data until the logic
analyzer memory is full, and then stop. Repetitive runs keep repeating
the same measurement and are useful for gathering statistics. To stop a
run, select the Stop button.
NOTE: Repetitive runs on a logic analyzer don't do equivalent time sampling like
oscilloscopes do.
If Nothing Happens...
Analyzers with deep memory take a noticeable amount of time to
complete a run. Because data is not displayed until acquisition
completes, it may look like nothing is happening. Check the Run Status
window to see if the logic analyzer is still running. Messages such as
"Waiting in level 1" may indicate you need to refine your trigger. If the
status shows as "Stopped", the analyzer either finished the acquisition,
or was unable to run. The cause of the problem is listed in the bottom
half of the Run Status window, and the messages are explained in more
detail in "Error Messages" on page 33.
