Tektronix has formed a partnership with embedded software tools vendor Rapita Systems. Rapita's RapiTime worst-case execution time analysis software, when integrated with the Tektronix TLA5000 and TLA7000 Series of logic analyzers provides state-of-the-art software performance analysis solutions for software designers tasked with developing and debugging application software for embedded real-time systems. Enhanced by the real-time acquisition capabilities of the Tektronix logic analyzer, engineers can now use the RapiTime toolset to provide detailed information about the timing performance of their application code on virtually any embedded microprocessor- or microcontroller-based target available on the market. The combined Tektronix TLA logic analyzer and RapiTime software toolset are marketed globally by Rapita Systems.
