The Tektronix TLA612-1S is a high-performance 68-channel logic analyzer from the TLA600 series, designed to assist hardware and software engineers in debugging and analyzing complex synchronous digital systems. Featuring MagniVu acquisition technology, the TLA612-1S offers 2 GHz (500 ps) high-speed timing resolution simultaneously on all channels without double probing. This specific '-1S' package variant includes an external 17-inch color monitor, a compact keyboard, and a mouse to enhance user interaction alongside its built-in 10.4-inch active-matrix display. It provides 256 Kb of deep timing memory per channel and supports state acquisition rates up to 100 MHz (upgradeable to 200 MHz).
