Step 3. Format labels for the probed signals
Step 3. Format labels for the probed signals
When a logic analyzer probes hundreds of signals in a device under
test, you need to be able to give those channels more meaningful
names than "pod 1, channel 1".
The Format tab is mainly for assigning bus and signal names (from the
device under test), to logic analyzer channels. These names are called
labels. Labels are used when setting up triggers and displaying
captured data.
The Format tab also lets you do things like assign pod pairs to one or
two logic analyzers and specify the logic analyzer threshold voltage.
The Format tab has activity indicators that show whether the signal a
channel is probing is above the threshold voltage (high), below the
threshold voltage (low), or transitioning.
