Infiniium Advanced Application Software
FPGA dynamic probe for Infiniium
MSO (N5397A)
The N5397A FPGA dynamic
probe for Infiniium MSOs
provides the most effective
solution for validating and
debugging embedded designs
incorporating Xilinx FPGAs. This
innovative solution enables you to:
• View internal FPGA activity
correlated to external analog
events — With the FPGA
dynamic probe, the Infiniium
MSO’s 16 digital channels can
be used to access up to 1024
internal signals, unlocking
visibility into your design that
you never had before. With the
power of the MSO, these
internal FPGA signals can be
correlated to external analog
content for determining cause
and effect relationships.
• Make multiple measurements in
seconds — Moving probe points
internal to an FPGA used to
require time consuming design
recompiles. Now, in less than a
second you can easily measure
a different set of internal
signals without design changes.
By not changing the design,
FPGA timing stays constant
when you select new sets of
internal signals for probing.
• Leverage the work you did in your
design environment — The FPGA
dynamic probe automatically
maps internal signal names
from your FPGA design tool to
the MSO’s digital channel labels.
This provides easy signal
identification and eliminates
unintentional mistakes while
saving hours of time.
Low-speed serial data analysis
software (option 007 or N5391A)
The N5391A low-speed serial data
analysis (SDA) software provides
a fast and easy way to debug
Inter-Integrated Circuit (I
2 C)
and 2-wire or 3-wire serial
peripheral interface (SPI) serial
communication buses. The
low-speed SDA software provides
the ability to capture and
automatically display decoded
serial data in numerical format
synchronized with the analog
or digital waveform, display
decoded packets in a sortable
listing window view with
automatic click and zoom
capability, and perform search
functions for a particular packet
with navigator controls.
CAN serial data analysis software
(option 008 or N5402A)
The N5402A CAN serial data
analysis (SDA) software allows
engineers to view both protocol
layer information and physical
layer signal characteristics inside
a single instrument, the Infiniium
oscilloscope. Numerical decode
values are automatically
displayed and synchronized
below the captured signal’s
waveform, display decoded
packets in a sortable listing
window view with automatic click
and zoom capability, and perform
search functions for a particular
packet with navigator controls.
