This customization provides a integrated capability for the Windows performance MSO market.
New AT-LA500 GigaView: 1.5 GHz (666 ps-resolution) timing acquisition on all channels to find quickly difficult hardware problems such as digital logic errors, glitches, setup/hold violations and crosstalk.
AT-XSS permits also to connect other AT Test Equipment instruments (AWGs, Oscilloscopes,…) to create a complete measurement system.
Much More Than A Logic Analyzer
AT-LA500 instrument is part of the Active Technologies instrument series called “hardware platforms”. The main advantage of those instruments is their FPGA based architecture that provides them with the remote hardware reconfiguration capability.
This makes it possible to modify, with just a software update, the instrument hardware in order to improve it, to add it new features or to easily make customizations.
Thanks to this technology the AT-LA500 integrates much more than standard logic analyzer functionalities. The same instrument integrates:
New AT-LA500 Serial Protocol Analyzer
New AT-LA500 Digital Pattern Generator ? Sampler
New AT-LA500 for mixed signal testing. Connect your oscilloscope to AT-LA500 to make a unique Mixed Signal Tester.
User friendly software permits to use advanced logic analyzer features without buttons, knobs and touch screen on the instrument; USB 2.0 interface transfers the acquired data to the PC within seconds.
Logic Analyzer
With an Active Technologies Logic Analyzer, you will combine the advantages of a compact size instrument with the flexibility of your PC for data management and visualization.
Much more than a Logic Analyzer: the additional software packages tuned to your specific application makes it easier for you to probe, acquire, decode, analyze, and validate the performance of your microprocessor, FPGA or memory design.
Active Technologies Logic Analyzers provide you an easy solution for real-time digital system acquisition and analysis.
The AT-LA500 USB PC Based Logic Analyzer provides an easy to use solution for real-time digital systems analysis, combining the advantages of a compact size instrument with the flexibility of your PC for data management and visualization, all at affordable price.
AT-LA500 can be used as a single instrument with 36 Channels at 500 MS/s and a memory depth of up to 4 Million samples per channel.
With AT-XSS (Extended Synchronous System) expansion system you can also connect up to 8 AT-LA500s to expand the number of availables channels without loss of performance: 288 channels @ 500MS/s.

Mixed signal tests are always involved in electronic circuits were mixed signal components interact with digital devices or in digital circuits where signal integrity must be analyzed.
In mixed signal tests some additional features are required beyond bandwidth, sample rate and memory depth:
Channel count
Expandability
Trigger levels
Probe features
Analogue-digital synchronization
Many good oscilloscopes or mixed signal oscilloscopes are available at a very effective price. But as good are the performances of the analogue part as poor are those of the digital part which usually is not adequate for professional tests.
AT-LA500 is a professional logic analyzer that can be tightly integrated with a standard oscilloscope providing the best mixed signal solution both in term of performance and price.
New MSO Capability FREE on your Next DPO7000 Series Oscilloscope
Tektronix partnering with Active Technologies in Italy, now offer an integrated high performance Mixed Signal capability for the DPO7000 series Oscilloscopes Active Technologies, AT-LA500, USB based logic analyzers, have been customized to work with the DPO7000 series Oscilloscope range. This customization provides a integrated capability for the Windows performance MSO market.
AT-LA500 Mixed Signal Test Solution
AT-LA500 completes a standard oscilloscope providing all the digital features required to carry out any mixed signal test situation:
- High sampling rate: 500Msps timing analysis, 200Mhz DDR state analysis
- GigaView: 1.5 GHz (666 ps-resolution) timing acquisition on all channels
- Channel expandability: from 36 up to 288 channels
- 32 trigger levels
- 3 different set of probes with:
- high bandwidth
- multiple independent programmable thresholds
- very uncommon input impedance as high as 1MOhm
- Up to 4 Million Samples on all channels
- Serial Protocol Analysis
AT-LA500 can be easily and efficiently integrated with a standard oscilloscope thanks to its very compact size and the USB connection to the oscilloscope itself (if it is windows based) or a PC where both the oscilloscope and the logic analyzer can be controlled and the acquired digital/analogue signals managed and displayed together.
Synchronization
AT-LA500 provides a dedicated expansion bus, called AT-XSS, for expandability and synchronization with external instruments (i.e. oscilloscopes). The synchronization is bidirectional so that the oscilloscope and the logic analyzer can be in turn the trigger master. Only two BNC cable must be connected between the two instruments to make the new mixed signal tester.
Mixed signal waveform window
The integration is also powered by the software interface that hides all the communication details between the AT-LA500 and the oscilloscope. The system configuration interface is very intuitive but powerful at the same time. Mixed analog/digital acquisitions can be displayed in the advanced mixed signal waveform window which provides:
- Simultaneous display of multiple analogue / digital traces
- Independent trace size, zooming and properties
- Analog representation of digital busses
- Add, remove, drag & drop signals
- Expand and collapse busses
- Advanced pattern/edge searches
Supported oscilloscopes
AT-LA500 supports connection with most popular oscilloscope on the market.
The supported oscilloscopes are growing, but if your model isn’t in the list, please write us an e-mail
