Abstract

A method of configuring a logic analyzer based on user input received through a graphical user interface (GUI) comprises receiving at least one first GUI input identifying at least one characteristic of a target system configured to be connected to the logic analyzer, receiving at least one second GUI input indicating a footprint associated with the target system, and receiving at least one third GUI input indicating a mapping between the footprint and a connector of the logic analyzer.

Claims (24)

1. A method of configuring a logic analyzer based on user input received through a graphical user interface (GUI), comprising:

receiving at least one first GUI input identifying at least one characteristic of a target system configured to be connected to the logic analyzer;

receiving at least one second GUI input indicating a footprint associated with the target system; and

receiving at least one third GUI input indicating a mapping between the footprint and a connector of the logic analyzer, wherein the first GUI input indicates a type of the target system, and the indicated type is a type of double data rate (DDR) or low power DDR (LPDDR) memory bus.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating a setup file for the logic analyzer according to the mapping.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising configuring the logic analyzer according to the setup file.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying a schematic of the footprint, and receiving the at least one third GUI input through a display including the schematic.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising accessing stored information indicating signals associated with the schematic, and displaying the signals in the display.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving at least one first GUI input comprises receiving a selection of a menu item.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one second GUI input indicating a footprint associated with the target system comprises multiple GUI inputs indicating signals of the footprint.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the mapping comprises assigning the signals of the footprint to connection interfaces of the connector of the logic analyzer.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising highlighting portions of the GUI to indicate the assignment of signals.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the footprint is a soft touch connector.

11. A system, comprising:

a first component configured to identify at least one characteristic of a target system to be connected to a logic analyzer based on at least one first graphical user interface (GUI) input;

a second component configured to determine a footprint of the target system based on at least one second GUI input; and

a third component configured to determine a mapping between the footprint and a connector of the logic analyzer based on at least one third GUI input, wherein the at least one characteristic of the target system comprises a type of the target system, and the type comprises a double data rate (DDR) bus or a low power DDR (LPDDR) bus.

12. The system of claim 11 , further comprising a GUI configured to receive the first through third GUI inputs.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the GUI is further configured to display a schematic of the footprint, and to receive the at least one third GUI input through a display including the schematic.

14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the footprint comprises a soft touch connector.

15. The system of claim 11 , further comprising a fourth component configured to generate a setup file for the logic analyzer according to the mapping.

16. The system of claim 11 , wherein the first through third components are software components.

17. The system of claim 11 , wherein the at least one second GUI input comprises multiple GUI inputs indicating signals of the footprint.

18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the mapping comprises assignment of the signals of the footprint to connection interfaces of the connector of the logic analyzer.
