SP1000G series
SP1000G series
The SP1000G series, including the SP1018G model, is a high-performance logic analyzer and pattern generator with 1GSPS timing resolution. It supports up to 54 configurable channels and features external reference clocking, trigger inputs/outputs, and adjustable voltage levels.
Ideal for semiconductor testing, electronic circuit validation, embedded systems debugging, scientific research, and serial protocol analysis (e.g., I2C, SPI, UART).
Features include Schmitt trigger input stages, a 1 GSPS capture rate, embedded buffer memory up to 12Gb, USB3 interface, and various trigger options. The pattern generator supports up to 250 MSPS and includes over-voltage protection.
Comprises a main host unit, a computer running ScanaStudio software, high-speed LVDS cables, active probe sets, and a power supply. The host unit processes and compresses signals before USB transmission.
Operating conditions: temperature range of 10°C to 35°C, maximum altitude of 2000m, maximum sampling rate of 1000 MSPS, and internal/external timebase options.
Features a 12V DC power input, USB3 port, reference clock inputs/outputs, and connections for active probe sets. Each probe set includes 9 channels with individual ground connections.
Connects to a computer via USB-3, using ScanaStudio software for configuration and signal analysis. Combines embedded memory and streaming techniques for efficient data handling.
Offers versatile clocking options, including internal and external 10MHz clocks, and supports continuous output clocking for uninterrupted signal generation.
Features a flexible trigger system with options for edge, pulse, and protocol-based triggers. Includes two FlexiTrig engines for complex triggering sequences.
Generates a 10ms pulse upon trigger conditions, with a 50Ω series impedance for easy interfacing with other devices.
The Trig In port allows acquisition to start on an external event. Minimum pulse width is 2ns, with adjustable polarity and logic-high threshold. Input impedance is software selectable. Time between external trigger active edge and internal trigger engine assertion is 150ns at a 1GHz sampling rate.
Interface the device under test with the SP1000G host device. Define input/output characteristics and bandwidth limits. Standard active probes included, with custom probes available upon request.
Includes the host device, USB 3 cable, power supply, SMA anti-dust covers, active probe sets, probe terminations, and a probe to host-device harness.
Connect to a power source and a USB-3 port. Status LED indicates device states: red (booting), green (ready), fuchsia (waiting for trigger), blue (capturing signals), and red blinking (hardware fault).
Download and install ScanaStudio software. Create a workspace by selecting the SP10xxG device type. Ensure the device is connected to a functional USB-3 port. Contact Ikalogic support if issues arise.
The SP1018G host device weighs 500 gm ± 10 gm, and the active probe set weighs 40 gm ± 1 gm. The casing is made from extruded aluminum for durability.
Complies with EMC Directive 2004/108/EC, Low-Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC, and IEC 61326-2. Meets FCC Rules part 15 and is RoHS Compliant. Safety standards include IEC NF/EN 61010-1: 2010 and UL 61010-1: 2015. Important safety notes include avoiding electrical shock, not using the device in wet conditions, and ensuring proper grounding.
Three-year warranty for the test tool and two years for accessories. Covers defects in material and workmanship under normal use.

SP1000G Series User Manual • Using an embedded memory to store captured samples. Samples are later downloaded at a slower speed via the USB interface. This has the advantage of not being limited by USB transfer rate, but has the disadvantage of limited embedded memory. • Streaming captured samples over the USB connection, at the maximum possible speed. While this offers the advantage of a virtually unlimited memory (only limited by host computer’s memory), it has the disadvantage of limiting the sampling rate to USB’s throughput. SP1000G combines the advantages of both streaming and embedded...
