measuring minimum and maximum jitter between two digital inputs


tcmichals

Question

Is there a way to measure the minimum and maximum time between two digital inputs over time?  For example, two digital inputs:

(1) digital input ,rising edge and is the trigger to start the time measurement
(2) digital input, rising edge, stops timer 
- The time value is compare against a running minimum and maximum time value. 

The goal is to have a continous measurement of the minimum and maximum time difference between the rising edge of digital input 1 and 2.  

i.e measure jitter between two digital inputs over time.

Hi @tcmichals

You could use a custom decoder in Logic Analyzer to measure the timing and Script tool to find the min/max.
The repetitive captures will have gap between them but you could use Record (Mode) to have measurement on longer continuous sequence.

Decoder:

c = rgData.length
p0 = 1
p1 = 1
v = 0
i0 = 0
for(var i = 0; i < c; i++){
    d0 = rgData[i] & 0x01 // DIO 0
    d1 = (rgData[i] >> 1) & 0x01 // DIO 1
    if(p0 == 0 & d0 == 1){ // DIO 0 rise reset 'v'
        v = 0
        i0 = i
    }
    if(p1 == 0 & d1 == 1){ // DIO 1 rise store 'v'
        for(var j = i0; j < i; j++){
            rgValue[j] = v
            rgFlag[j] = hzRate
        }
    }
    v++
    p0 = d0
    p1 = d1
}

Value to Text:

function Value2Text(flag, value){
  switch(flag){
    case 0: return "X";
    default: return 1e6*value/flag; // us, microsecond
  }
}
