Trigger |
|
|
In |
SMA external trigger input. NOTE: Edge detected (Rising or Falling) Voltage required. Signal needs to be > 800mV to see a logic “1”, Signal needs to be < 400mV to see a logic “0”. Maximum value of the external input signal which can be input is 5 V. Minimum value is 0 V. These conditions will trigger the analyzer to start recording or will trigger the action specified in Advanced Recording Options (if applicable). |
|
Out |
SMA external trigger output. Pulse Width = 280 ns. Pulse Voltage = 3.3 Volts into 1 MegOhms. Pulse Voltage = 2.7 Volts into 50 Ohms. Pulse is positive going. |

Sync/Data |
Used for Daisy Chaining and Cross Sync with Cable (P/N AC031XXA-X), as well as 8-bit Data Capture and external Trig In/ Out (P/N AC050XXA-X) (Cables sold separately). The 8-bit data signals use a threshold of 0.8V, with 50 mV hysteresis. The circuit is 5 volt tolerant. |
|
Ethernet |
Gigabit Ethernet for connection to host machine. |
|
USB |
USB 3.2 Super Speed Standard B Connector to host machine. |

Connection |
USB4 grade USB Type-CTM connectors: The Voyager analyzer and exerciser port differential input impedance on the USB4 signal wires is between 80 and 120 ohms. USB Type-CTM connector cables High Speed USB Connectors Standard cables NOTE: The USB 2.0 exerciser port is not terminated differentially. The single ended termination is 45 ohms to ground +/- 10% or between 40.5 and 49.5 ohms. The effective differential USB 2.0 termination is between 80 and 100 ohms (90 ohms +/- 10%). |

Voyager M4x Specific Setup Notes
The Type-C connectors on the front are meant to connect to Hosts (which have a DFP or Downstream Facing Port) and Devices (which have a UFP or Upstream Facing Port) as indicated below. Note that it will work the “other way” (Host on Left, Device on Right); however, it is preferred to connect as indicated so that the default setup is similar to our previous 10 USB analyzers, which used an “A” connector on left and a “B” connector on the right. This makes the traces easier to understand and support by our Support Team, and reduces the number of setup diagrams to follow. Of course, the data roles can swap via USB protocol, which our traces will track.
NOTE: Analysis of traffic requires the use of short, low-loss, high-quality cables. The cables provided by Teledyne LeCroy, which have the Teledyne LeCroy label on them, have been verified to provide excellent signal quality. Using other cables may compromise the signal quality and prevent capturing of clean traffic.
