Patent ID: 11956139
Assignee: TELEDYNE LECROY, INC.
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  G | IPC H

Claim 25:
26. A method for measuring a device comprising:
capturing a communication event by a component of a protocol analyzer;
capturing an electrical signal by a component of one or more than one oscilloscope, wherein the protocol analyzer is separate from the one or more than one oscilloscope;
probing, by an interposer connected to the protocol analyzer, electrical signals, wherein the interposer comprises one or many permanent probe tips or a connection for temporary attachment of probe tips, wherein the probe tips are configured to probe analog characteristics of high speed signals and are electrically connected to the one or more than one oscilloscope;
triggering, from a component of the protocol analyzer, the one or more than one oscilloscope to capture the electrical signal or triggering; or
triggering, by a component of the one or more than one oscilloscope, an event, wherein the event causes the protocol analyzer to capture communication events around time of the event or triggering;
correlating, by a circuit, the electrical signal with the communication event or correlating, by the circuit, the communication event to the electrical signal;
de-embedding, by the circuit, effects of the interposer from the communication event and the electrical signal; and
controlling and displaying, by the circuit, a user interface comprising waveform traces in time domain from the one or more than one oscilloscope and captured data from the protocol analyzer, wherein the user interface further comprises a summary of the waveform traces and the captured data on a common time scale.
