SP1000G Series User Manual SP1000G Series overview SP1018G series logic analyzers and pattern generators offer in depth analysis of logic signals and protocols with 1GSPS (1ns) timing resolution. External reference clocking (IN and OUT), trigger input and output as well as adjustable threshold and output voltage level make SP1000G series a uniquely powerful laboratory equipment. SP1000G series offer up to 54 channels that can be individually configured as input, push-pull outputs or open drain output. Please refer to ordering information for the exact number of available channels and...

SP1000G Series User Manual Figure 1: Example of logic signals captured and analyzed by SP1018G logic analyzer Product highlights • Schmitt trigger input stages with adjustable thresholds (each group of 9 channels can have a different input threshold). • 1 GSPS capture rate (adjustable down to 4 MSPS) • Embedded buffer memory (4Gb, 8Gb or 12Gb depending on model). • USB3 super-speed interface. • Samples compression (only events consume memory and USB bandwidth). • Various trigger options (Edge, pulse width, pattern, protocol). • Two independent trigger engines that can be combined to create...

SP1000G Series User Manual SP1000G system architecture A functional SP1000G measurement system consists of several main components that are presented in the image below. Figure 2: SP1000G system architecture The main labeled components are: 1. SP1000G main host unit that contains the main memory buffer and the processing power to capture and compress signals before sending them over USB. 2. Computer running ScanaStudio software (Windows / Mac / Linux) that controls the main host unit and display captured signals. 3. Probes to host harness (60 cm): Flexible, high speed (10Gbps) LVDS cable,...

Connection to device under test (9 measurement channels + individual GND connections per channel) Principle of operation SP1000G Series logic analyzers connect to a computer via a USB-3 cable. A free software - called ScanaStudio - is used to configure the device, display captured signals, build patterns and control the pattern generator. The software can also be used to further analyze the captured samples by decoding protocols like I2C, SPI...

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...

SP1000G Series User Manual In both cases, the 10MHz timebase is fed to an internal low jitter PLL that generates sampling frequency (for both capture and generator). Additionally, SP1000G will constantly output a 10MHz timebase on SMA connector. Please see interfaces chapter for more information about the specific SMA ports for connecting external clocks. State mode SP1000G allows the 9th channel of each active probe (group of 9 channels) to be used as a state mode clock input. (For example, the SP1018G, which has 18 channels, have two state mode clock inputs). Only one state mode input can...
