Stratus Technologies uses
Tektronix logic analyser
Stratus Technologies has selected Tektronix test equipment to streamline design processes at its Dublin product development centre
Stratus will use the Tektronix TLA700 Series logic analyser as a key design tool for debugging its Stratus ftServer products, fully redundant systems that accommodate sophisticated functionality and end-user requirements for continuously available computing. Challenged to monitor the operations of at least two processors simultaneously, engineers at Stratus developing these advanced systems purchased the TLA700 Series logic analyser to reduce the difficulty in identifying problems found during product development.

"In the computer design environment, engineers face daily pressures to speed new products to the marketplace.
Tektronix addresses that need with breakthrough solutions, such as the TLA700, enabling engineers to quickly analyse real-time digital system operations", said Gerald Ostheimer, vice president, Tektronix Europe: "Debugging complex architectures is an ideal application for the TLA700.
As a high-performance multichannel logic analyser, it can look at two or three high-speed processor buses simultaneously and acquire data from all of them for comparison and analysis purposes".
"At the technology level we are operating - with the latest generation of Intel processors - we accept that there are competing manufacturers with equivalent performance levels", said John Doody, Platform Development Manager, Stratus Technologies: "We chose Tektronix based on hardware configuration flexibility, analysis capability, depth of memory and local support options.
In addition, the TLA700 can download data instantly so we can be acquiring the next batch in real time".
The Stratus system was purchased from Tektronix' local distributor, Imex.
Stratus has traditionally bought oscilloscopes from Tektronix, including its digital phosphor and digital sampling oscilloscopes, but this is the company's first major purchase of a Tektronix logic analyser.
Stratus is also evaluating Tektronix test and measurement solutions for its next-generation Intel Architecture-64 ftServer products.
