The 16998A High-performance FPGA Analyzer provides a convenient, single model number for purchasing a high-performance FPGA debug and validation system. The system includes support for both Xilinx and Altera FPGAs. The analyzer comes with 4 M of acquisition memory, essential for capturing enough system activity to get to the root cause of complex problems.

Expandability is the key to the analyzer´s long-term value. As your needs evolve you can customize this system with innovative probing, high-performance measurement modules, and post-processing analysis tools.
