How to use SignalTAP II in Quartus your II?

This tutorial explains how to use the SignalTap II feature within Altera’s Quartus R II software. The Signal- Tap II Embedded Logic Analyzer is a system-level debugging tool that captures and displays signals in circuits designed for implementation in Altera’s FPGAs.

How does signal probe work in Intel Quartus?

Signal Probe uses incremental routing to attach signals to previously reserved pins. This feature allows you to quickly recompile when you change the selection of source signals. The Signal Tap logic analyzer and the LAI can refit their own design partitions to decrease recompilation time.

How does the SignalTAP 2 logic analyzer work?

Assign a clock signal to control the acquisition of data by the SignalTap II Logic Analyzer. The logic analyzer samples data on every positive (rising) edge of the acquisition clock. The logic analyzer does not support sampling on the negative (falling) edge of the acquisition clock. You can use any signal in your design as the acquisition clock.

Which is better Lai or signal tap analyzer?

An external logic analyzer with the LAI tool allows you to store more captured data than the Signal Tap logic analyzer, because the external logic analyzer can provide access to a bigger buffer. The Signal Probe tool does not capture or store data.

How to set sample depth in SignalTAP 2?

Allows you to specify which signal in the selected instance to use as the SignalTap II Logic Analyzer clock. Each instance can have its own independent clock. Sample depth — Allows you to select the sample buffer depth in the selected instance of the SignalTap II Logic Analyzer (that is, the number of samples stored for each input signal).

What does recorded data discontinuities do in SignalTAP?

Recorded data discontinuities — Allows you to view the data discontinuities in the waveform view. One extra memory bit is used for each sample. Disable storage qualifier — Allows you to turn off the storage qualifier to capture all data during acquisition without recompiling your design.
