Tektronix TLA704 Logic Analyzer Color Portable Mainframe 200MHz – 2GHz

The Tektronix TLA704 is a portable logic analyzer mainframe that combines state and timing acquisition in a single instrument platform. It captures digital signals at up to 200 MHz state rate with simultaneous 2 GHz timing resolution across all channels via MagniVu™ technology, delivering 500 ps timing accuracy. The expansion mainframe architecture accommodates up to 16 modules, scaling to 2,176 logic analyzer channels, 1,024 pattern generator channels, or 64 digitizing oscilloscope channels for multi-processor system analysis. Users configure the instrument with modular acquisition and stimulus cards to meet application-specific requirements—logic analysis, digital storage oscilloscopy, or combined operation.
