-To demonstrate the capabilities of the //Protocol Analyzer// instrument, this guide uses a [[:reference:pmod:pmodad5:|PmodAD5]] and an Arduino UNO to spy on the SPI communications taking place between the host and peripheral. Afterwards, the Test and Measurement device will be used as the SPI master to drive communications with the PmodAD5. Make the pin connections as seen in each row of the table below:+To demonstrate the capabilities of the //Protocol Analyzer// instrument, this guide uses a [[pmod:pmodad5:|PmodAD5]] and an Arduino UNO to spy on the SPI communications taking place between the host and peripheral.

-The //Protocol Analyzer// instrument can be used with other WaveForms instruments. Using multiple instuments at the same time is helpful in a wide variety of situations. One example would be to use the //Protocol Analyzer// to configure a device under test, the //Pattern Generator// or //Protocol Analyzer// to stimulate the device, and capturing the result in the //Logic Analyzer//, all at the same time. More information on how instruments can be operated together can be found in the [[reference:test-and-measurement:guides:waveforms-cross-triggers]] guide.+The //Protocol Analyzer// instrument can be used with other WaveForms instruments.

 It should be noted that while multiple instruments can use any Digital Input pin, and those pins can be used as Digital Outputs, no more than one instrument can control a Digital Output pin at a time. WaveForms accounts for this by disabling instruments using a shared output, or by displaying a message stating that a shared output is currently used by a different instrument. It should be noted that while multiple instruments can use any Digital Input pin, and those pins can be used as Digital Outputs, no more than one instrument can control a Digital Output pin at a time.
