0. Precautions
Users are advised to carefully review this section to avoid potential
hazards to people, this product and other products connected to it.
To protect the instrument and the Device under Test (DUT), grounding
is required during signal acquisition.
Follow the “Operating environment” recommendations from Table 2:1.
Protect the logic analyzer from static discharge.
Avoid direct impacts and rough handling.
The logic analyzer is a pollution degree 2 instrument.
Normally only dry, non-conductive pollution occurs. Occasionally a
temporary conductivity that is caused by condensation must be
expected. Temporary condensation occurs only when the product is out
of service.
Do not place heavy objects on the logic analyzer.
As a Class A product, the LAP-C Pro may cause radio interference.
Do not disassemble the logic analyzer as this will void the warranty and
may affect its operation.

1.3.Product Introduction
The LAP-C Pro is a multi-purpose PC-based logic analyzer. It has the
largest memory capacity for the channels, higher sampling rate and more
advanced functions.
But the LAP-C Pro is not only about GHz and Gb/Mb. The extensive
protocol library consisting of more than 129 protocol decoders, direct
streaming to disk, channel folding, user-friendly software and a host of other
functions make efficient debugging.
1.4.Package Content
All items contained in the package are listed in Table 1:1。. If any of

1. Memory Capacity: Determine the amount of data to be acquired per
channel
2. Sampling Rate: Determine how often the samples are taken
3. Column of Trigger: 6 trigger conditions include <Don't Care>, <High>,
<Low>, <Rising Edge>, <Falling Edge> and <Either Edge>
4. Trigger Level: Set up with 4 different Trigger Levels (Port A, B, C and D)
at a time
5. Signal capture: Capture the sample with using Sampling setting and
Trigger condition
6. Display All: Show all data in the waveform view
