The TLA7012 portable mainframe and TLA7016 benchtop mainframe logic analysers have been designed to address the growing proliferation of high-speed serial buses, especially multi-lane buses such as Enhanced PCI Express and SATA III and double data rate (DDR II) memories. The mainframes are compatible with all TLA modules and provide throughput that is at least three times faster than that of previous models. This enables quicker data analysis and more rapid zooming, searching, filtering and scrolling. Both utilise Windows XP Professional and the latest Pentium processors to provide analysis speed that manufacturer Tektonix claims is twice as fast as what can offer the nearest competitor. The TLA7012 can hold two modules allowing up to 272 channels of logic analysis capability, has an integrated 2GHz Pentium M processor, and features the largest integrated display available on a portable logic analyser (a high-resolution 15" active TFT display). The TLA7016 is able to support up to six modules and allows designers of the latest technology, such as FB-DIMM, to use a single TLA7016 mainframe rather than the multiple mainframes required by other logic analyser vendors.
