What are the dark rectangles on the logic analyzer waveform?
« on: March 10, 2018, 02:52:54 am »
Hi,
Has anyone seen dark rectangles like the ones in the waveform capture I’ve attached?
The logic is from an Epson Printer and I’m using a Diligent Discovery 2 to get the waveforms.

Thanks for any help,

I'm not sure if relevant for your analyzer, but may be glitch detection. Some analyzers have circuitry to detect glitches that are smaller than the instrument's sample period.

Yes.

https://reference.digilentinc.com/reference/software/waveforms/waveforms-3/reference-manual

The online Waveforms manual section 4 ( Main Plot ) point  12:

Quote
Noise band indicating glitch or higher frequency components than the sampling frequency. See Real
channels options.

On figure 4.1, the corresponding label 12 shows a dark background for a portion of the plot

Both answers are correct. I did a search for "Wavegen" and "Glitch" on marginallystable's suggestion and found the reference that Paul gave.
Thanks to you both!
Cheers
