Tektronix TLA7012 Logic Analyzer

The Tektronix TLA7012 is a 2-slot portable logic analyzer mainframe for debugging, verifying, optimizing, and validating digital systems. It accepts TLA logic analyzer and pattern generator modules and configures as either a master or expansion mainframe for high channel count applications. The system runs on Windows XP Professional or Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate, with a 2.7 GHz i5 processor and Intel QM77 chipset. Front-panel and external display outputs support simultaneous viewing on up to 3 internal displays or 4 external displays with TLA7PC1 expansion. Removable 500 GB SATA II hard drive enables secure data storage and portable setup configuration across team members.
