-{{:university:tools:m2k:scopy_logic_analyzer.png?|Scopy Logic Analyzer}}
 This instrument can run continuously, repeatedly triggering, by pressing the Run button or triggering once, by pressing the Single button.
 The logic analyzer instrument consists of a channel manager, a central signal plot and a control panel for different settings.
-The channel manager allows the user to enable or disable channels, set triggers, create groups of signals or set protocol decoders to groups. The groups can be created by selecting channels and pressing the button {{:university:tools:m2k:groups.png?direct&200|Scopy Group Channels}} or by dragging one channel/group over another channel/group. The drag and drop mechanism also allows the user to reorder the channels.

-General Settings:
   * **Time Base**: – It can be changed either by pressing the +/- buttons or writing a value in the edit box. Pressing the center of the range circle toggles between fine/coarse modes.
   * **Time Trigger Position**: – It can be changed either by pressing the +/- buttons or writing a value in the edit box. Pressing the center of the range circle toggles between fine/coarse modes.
+  * **Repeated Mode**: – Using the instrument in this mode consists of repeatedly waiting, acquiring and displaying one buffer at a time. However, when the time base is greater than 1 s/div, in order to avoid waiting too much for a buffer, the time trigger is moved on the leftmost position on the screen and the signals are plotted immediately, starting from the left side when an entire screen was plotted. In this situation, the user can also control the Frequency. If the time trigger position is modified, the instrument returns to the waiting mode, regardless of the time base value.
+  * **Stream Mode**: – When the Stream mode is enabled, the time trigger is moved automatically to the leftmost position on the screen, the Frequency control is enabled, allowing the user to stream at any chosen frequency. In this mode, the signals are continuously drawn in the right side, not limited by one screen. If the time trigger position is modified, the instrument returns to the waiting mode, regardless of the time base value.
+  * **Frequency**: – It can be changed either by pressing the +/- buttons or writing a value in the edit box. Pressing the center of the range circle toggles between fine/coarse modes. The maximum frequency is 3.03 MHz.
+  * **Export**: – The Logic Analyzer can export current data in .csv (Comma-separated values) and .vcd (Value change dump) format. Using the “Export All” switch you can select and export data from all the available channels or you can create a custom selection using the dropdown. After deciding which channels should be exported, click “Export” and choose a file. The exported .csv files are compatible with instruments throughout the application, so you could load the file in the Pattern Generator.
