HP 16500C /16501A Logic Analysis System User Guide
A system of measurement modules
The HP 16500C is the mainframe of the Hewlett-Packard Logic Analysis System. It offers a modular structure for plug-in cards with a wide range of state, timing, oscilloscope, and pattern generator capabilities.
A powerful, easy-to-use interface
The touchscreen interface offers pop-up menus and color graphics to lead you through measurement configurations without having to remember lots of steps. You can add a keyboard or mouse to speed data input and measurement configuration.
The HP 16501A expands module capacity
The HP 16501A is the add-on mainframe for expanding the module capacity of the HP 16500C. When the two are connected, they form a single ten-card system that is turned on and controlled by the HP 16500C.
Intermodule measusurement capability
The HP 16500C offers intermodule measurement features that allow you to capture complex system activity. Modules can
• be armed by an external instrument,
• be armed by another module in the HP16500C or HP16501A frames, or
• be used to arm an external instrument.
Install measurement modules in any slot
Single card analyzers, oscilloscopes, and other options can go in any slot of the HP 16500C or HP 16501A. You should generally begin installing cards starting with the bottom-most slot and working up.
Some measurement modules have multiple cards. A multiple-card module must be installed into adjacent slots in the same mainframe—that is, you cannot install one card of the module into the HP 16500C and the other into the HP 16501A.
Calibrate measurement modules after installation
Some measurement modules are sensitive to temperature and voltage variations between different mainframes. Thus, when you install such a module in the mainframe, you should calibrate it before using it to ensure maximum measurement precision and accuracy. See the Service Guide for each measurement module for installation and calibration procedures.
