4.1. Software Installation (PulseView)

The Mini Logic Analyzer uses PulseView software, which is part of the open-source Sigrok project. Follow these steps to install PulseView:

  1. Download PulseView: Obtain the appropriate installation package for your operating system (Windows, Linux, Mac, Android) from the official Sigrok website or the provided GitHub link: https://github.com/wuxx/nanoDLA/tree/master/software.
  2. Орноткучту иштетүү: Double-click the downloaded installation package and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

4.2. Драйверди орнотуу

After installing PulseView, you need to install the necessary drivers for the logic analyzer to be recognized by your computer. This process typically involves using the Zadig utility for Windows users.

  1. Түзмөктү туташтыруу: Plug the nanoDLA (Mini Logic Analyzer) into a PC USB port using the provided Type-C cable.
  2. Алгачкы таануу: Your PC's Device Manager may initially recognize the nanoDLA as an 'other device' or an unknown device.
  3. Launch Zadig: Издөө and open the Zadig utility on your PC. If you don't have it, download it from the Sigrok website or a reliable source.
  4. Түзмөктү тандоо: In Zadig, go to 'Options' and toggle on 'List All Devices'. From the dropdown menu, select the device named "fx2lafw" (or similar, look for USB ID 1D50:608C).
  5. Драйверди орнотуу: Ensure "WinUSB" is selected in the driver field, then click the "Install Driver" button.

After successful driver installation, the nanoDLA should be recognized as a "Universal Serial Bus Device" in your Device Manager.

5. Иштөө нускамалары

Once the software and drivers are installed, you can begin using your Mini Logic Analyzer with PulseView.

  1. Connect and Launch: Plug the nanoDLA into your PC's USB port and open the PulseView программалык камсыздоо.
  2. Configure Channels and Sampлинг чен: In PulseView, configure the desired channels (CH0-CH7) and set the sampling rate. The maximum sampling rate is 24MHz.
  3. Баштоо Сampлинг: Click the "Run" button (usually located in the top-left corner) to begin sampлинг маалыматтары.

  1. Decode Signals: After signals are sampled, you can use the built-in decoders to analyze them. For example, to decode UART sampled data:
    • Click the decoder menu.
    • Select the UART protocol.
    • Configure UART parameters such as channels, baud rate, data bits, and parity type.
    Сampled data will then be decoded and displayed.

Important Note on Sampлинг чен: While the logic analyzer supports up to 24MHz sampling, the actual achievable rate can vary depending on your PC's operating system, USB controller, USB bus status, and USB drivers. For optimal signal reconstruction, a sampling rate at least 5 times (and ideally 10 times) the original signal frequency is recommended. In practice, Linux systems often achieve 24MHz, while most Windows systems (Win7/Win10) typically achieve 16MHz.

6. Техникалык тейлөө

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your DKARDU Mini Logic Analyzer, follow these general maintenance guidelines:

  • Сактагыч: Store the device in a dry, dust-free environment away from extreme temperatures.

If you encounter issues with your Mini Logic Analyzer, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

  • Түзмөк таанылган жок:
    • Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the logic analyzer and your computer.
    • Verify that the drivers are correctly installed using the Zadig utility as described in Section 4.2.
    • Компьютериңиздеги башка USB портуна туташып көрүңүз.
    • Компьютериңизди өчүрүп күйгүзүңүз.
  • Сигнал жок же туура эмес көрсөткүчтөр:
    • Check the connections of the Dupont cables and test clips to your circuit. Ensure they are making good contact.
    • Verify that the correct channels are selected and configured in PulseView.
    • С -тарды тууралаңызampling rate. If the signal frequency is too high for the chosen sampling rate, the readings may be inaccurate. Remember the 5x-10x rule mentioned in Section 5.
    • Ensure the logic levels of your circuit are within the input voltage range of the logic analyzer ([-0.5V, 5.25V]).
  • Software Issues (PulseView):
    • Ensure you are using the latest version of PulseView.
    • Consult the PulseView documentation or community forums for specific software-related issues.
