Appendix A: Merging Logic Analyzer Modules
This appendix describes how to merge two logic analyzer modules to form a
wider module.
There are no specific rules to merging modules. However, the following
guidelines may be helpful.
 You can merge modules with 102 channels or greater.
 The maximum merged module width is two modules.
 The two modules should have the same firmware version.
 The two modules should have the same state speed.
 When merging modules of unequal channel widths, place the module with
the higher number of channels in the lower numbered slot.
 Merged modules of unequal memory depths will assume the depth of the
shallower module.
Equipment Required
You will need the following equipment to complete these procedures:
 Torque screwdriver with a size T-10 Torx tip
 Two logic analyzer modules
Merge Procedure
CAUTION. Static discharge can damage any semiconductor component in the
logic analyzer module. Discharge the static voltage from your body by wearing a
grounded antistatic wrist strap while performing the Merge Procedure.
Perform the following steps to merge two logic analyzer modules:
1. Power off the logic analyzer and remove the modules.
2. Determine which module will be designated as the slave module (this
module will be placed in the higher numbered slot).
3. Lay the slave module on the right side (as viewed from the front panel).
