Users Manual Model 3600 Introduction Congratulations on the choice of Global Specialties Model 3600. This 32 channel Logic Analyzer observes and measures digital signals in digital information processing. It captures and displays many signals at once, and analyzes their timing relationships. Use its internal clock, or connect up to 2 external clocks for sampling rate variability.
30 channels of internal digital signals which are stored synchronously in the data flip- latch by sampling clock. The sampling data in the data flip-latch are www.globalspecialties.com Page 2 Model 3600 User Manual_B.indd 2 7/2/2010 4:41:40 PM...

After sampling storage, the microcontroller unit reads a series of data and sends them to the LCD to display the timing waveform and data list. www.globalspecialties.com Page 3 Model 3600 User Manual_B.indd 3 7/2/2010 4:41:40 PM...
(11 pushbuttons for Number input, 4 pushbuttons for Input control, 1 pushbutton for Language) Number Input: 【0】【1】【2】【3】【4】【5】【6】【7】【8】【9】: number input; 【x】: special characters x, only used for data search input www.globalspecialties.com Page 5 Model 3600 User Manual_B.indd 5 7/2/2010 4:41:43 PM...
Save: save the current setting parameters. Recall: recall the last saved setting parameters Display Description The top row of the display screen indicates chosen function. There are 3 types of display interface described below. www.globalspecialties.com Page 6 Model 3600 User Manual_B.indd 6 7/2/2010 4:41:43 PM...
Operating Instructions Initialization Turn on the Model 3600 using the front panel ON/OFF pushbutton. The model number and the manufacturer of the instrument will first be seen on the display. Operate the initialization program by loading the www.globalspecialties.com...
If there is no letter on the key, the user can input a space. The【shift】key is a single step. In order to input the next letter, the process above is to be repeated. www.globalspecialties.com Page 8 Model 3600 User Manual_B.indd 8 7/2/2010 4:41:43 PM...
【↑】and【↓】pushbuttons are used to circularly select one of the six threshold voltages. Only the knob can be used to set the value of threshold voltages in a continuous manner (numeric keys can’t www.globalspecialties.com Page 9 Model 3600 User Manual_B.indd 9 7/2/2010 4:41:44 PM...
8 signal input channels in each one. And the other 2 threshold voltages are used in 2 external clock input channels. Measured Signals In practice, the instruments measures signals in groups, for instance www.globalspecialties.com Page 10 Model 3600 User Manual_B.indd 10 7/2/2010 4:41:44 PM...
Display Setting The 3600 logic analyzer can display a vast amount of data. There are two display modes of sampling data: timing waveform display and data listing display. Timing Waveform Display Press【Display】to view timing waveforms for up to 8 channels.
(see Channel Order Setting) can be used to display the desired waveforms. Waveform Rolling Left/Right The Model 3600 allows for 260,000 memory addresses for each channel, however only 280 data points can be viewed due to the horizontal width of the screen. In order to display the needed blocks from the mass of stored data, the screen display window needs to be repositioned to the desired data in memory.
The higher the compression rate, the greater the possibility for distortion. It is suggested to make compression changes www.globalspecialties.com Page 13 Model 3600 User Manual_B.indd 13 7/2/2010 4:41:44 PM...
Data Lookup - Search Function Model 3600 has a convenient search function. After a sampling of data, the user can find the data conforming to the setting conditions within a large group of sampled data. Parameters in the third row on the right bottom of the wave frame is the find-data which is a 32 bit data word in Hex format.
Then move the cursor with a shorter step to the aim point. Cursor Measurement Model 3600 is able to measure the sampling data value of any point in the display waveforms and the time interval between any two points in a waveform.

The move the waveform left or right until the second aim point displays. Turn the knob to move cursor1 to this second aim point to read the time or address www.globalspecialties.com Page 16 Model 3600 User Manual_B.indd 16 7/2/2010 4:41:45 PM...
(data values are contained the listing). Sampling Setting Model 3600 uses the sampling mode for obtaining data. This procedure involves sampling to a digital input, not collecting a sample to the input signal directly. Instead it digitally generates data points through comparison and distinguishes between input signals and thresholds.
Again, this causes a greater amount of data to be stored in memory. Considering memory space has its limitations, there is a solution. Model 3600 sets two external clocks into a logic “and” and logic “or” mode. This limits an external clock by using another external clock.
By choosing the falling edge in this situation, all logic levels are in a stable state and sampled data will be correct. www.globalspecialties.com Page 19 Model 3600 User Manual_B.indd 19 7/2/2010 4:41:46 PM...
Users Manual Model 3600 Model 3600 sets sampling phase choices of rising edge sampling and falling edge samplingWhen connecting the timing sampling to an external signal with the internal clock, the sampling phase setting may be out of phase due to “asynchronous sampling”.
(logic level of 00~15 channels is “0001001000110100”) the sampling process starts. Start Select The “start select” can be set with numbers. The key【0】opens the www.globalspecialties.com Page 21 Model 3600 User Manual_B.indd 21 7/2/2010 4:41:46 PM...
69 appears in 00~07 channels in the input data streams the trigger condition is satisfied. Meaning when the logic level of 00~07 channels is “01101001”the trigger condition is satisfied. www.globalspecialties.com Page 22 Model 3600 User Manual_B.indd 22 7/2/2010 4:41:46 PM...
If the setting of the start select switch is “open”, then only the tested signal clearly and specific sampling requirements can set the suitable trigger conditions, trigger limit switch and event count. www.globalspecialties.com Page 23 Model 3600 User Manual_B.indd 23 7/2/2010 4:41:46 PM...
The parameter value of the trigger cursor is on the left bottom of the waveform frame in the first row. The six numbers on the left of the parameter are the addresses in Dec of the data the cursor indicates. www.globalspecialties.com Page 24 Model 3600 User Manual_B.indd 24 7/2/2010 4:41:47 PM...
Waveform Storage The user can set the Model 3600 for waveform storage. This function saves stored sample data for further analysis. The length of the waveform is 16348 sampled data points. The Start address is current displayed window address on screen.
Reset Every time the power is turned on to Model 3600, the instrument first loads the default parameters settings and stores them. If the user modifies the parameter settings during a measurement and the data isn’t being captured correctly, press【Reset】to recall the default...
