The byte values for sampling with 8 or 16 probes are thus identical, the only difference is that the sampling rates 24/16/15MHz are not available when 16 probes are used.
 
=== Sample format ===
 
* 8 bit sampling: Every sample is a byte, bit 0 is the value of probe 0, bit 7 is the value of probe 7.
* 16 bit sampling: Every sample consists of two bytes.
** First byte: Bit 0 is the value of probe 0, bit 7 is the value of probe 7.
** Second byte: Bit 0 is the value of probe 8, bit 7 is the value of probe 15.
 
=== Buffer size ===
 
Not relevant to the protocol, happens purely in software, on the PC side (by sending the "stop acquisition" command at the correct point in time).
 
The original software allows setting a buffer size to 1-2433 MB, in 1MB steps. This is simply the amount of data streamed from the device to the PC (there is no device-internal buffer/memory).
 
=== Pre-Trigger value ===
 
Not relevant to the protocol, happens purely in software, on the PC side.


The original software has a pretrigger setting (a scrollbar); it's unclear whether this is an absolute value or a percentage or something else.
Since we use the open-source [[fx2lafw]] firmware for this device, we don't need to know the protocol.


=== Trigger settings ===
However, for those interested in this, see our old [[Braintechnology_USB-LPS/Info#Vendor_USB_protocol|vendor protocol docs]].

The original software allows setting per-probe triggers (4 levels deep). At each level the trigger for that probe can be low, high, or dont-care.

The Braintechnology USB-LPS is a Cypress FX2 based 16-channel, 24MHz, USB-based logic analyzer and signal/pattern generator.

In sigrok, the open-source fx2lafw firmware and driver is used for this device.

See Braintechnology USB-LPS/Info for some more details (such as lsusb -vvv output) on the device.

Hardware

  • Main chip: Cypress CY7C68013A-56PVXC (FX2LP)
  • I2C EEPROM: Atmel ATTiny13-20SU
  • 3.3V voltage regulator: LD33
  • Crystal: 24MHz

Protocol

Since we use the open-source fx2lafw firmware for this device, we don't need to know the protocol.

However, for those interested in this, see our old vendor protocol docs.
