What Is the HP 16500B Lo gic Analysis Sys tem ?
The HP 16500B
The HP 16500 B is the mainfram e of the Hewlet t-Packard Logic
Analysis System . It of fers a modular structure for plug-in car ds with a
wide ran ge of stat e, timing, oscillos c ope, a nd patter n gener at or
capabilities. This allow s you to conf igur e the HP 16500B using only
the m odules you nee d in or der to perform a desired m eas ur em ent or
set of m easur em ent s, while gi ving you the flexibility to change or
update the m lat er .
The Lo gic Analys is System prov ides both exper ienced and first-time
us e rs with powe rful m easur em ent capabilities . The po p-up m enus
and color g raphics lead you thr o ugh setups and m easur em ent s quickl y
and easily, without the need to memorize a lot of st eps. By touching
the a ppropriat e fields or using the cur sor of eithe r the opt ional mouse
or keyboard, you can perfor m func tions, conf igur e menus, and move
from one menu to anot her.
With the interm odule capabilities of the Logic Analysis System , you
can make inter act ive m easur em ent s betw een m odules . This allow s
you to conf igure modules to inter act with each other, us ing the
trigger ing capabilities of one module and the acquisi tion capabi lities of
anot her.
System Options
The HP 16501 A is the add- on mainfram e for e xpa nding the m odule
capacity of the HP 16500B. When the HP 16501A is connect ed to the
HP 16500B, they function as a si ngle ten-card system which is turned
on and cont rolled by the HP 16500B. The HP 16501A form s a tight ly
c oupled system with the HP 16500B, pe rm itting each of the two
mainfram es to ar m or trigger any module from any other m odule.
An opt ional LAN inter f ace is availabl e for direct connect ion to
com put er s locat ed on an Ethernet local ar ea network (LA N ). The
LAN inter face enables you to upload m eas urem ent data for the most
c om prehe nsive pos t-pr ocess ing ne e ds a nd eas y access to da ta files.

User Interfaces
User Inter faces
The HP 16500B has four user interface de vices: th e knob on th e fro n t pa ne l,
th e touc hscree n, the opt ional mouse, and the opt ional key board.
The knob on th e fron t pane l is us e d to m ove th e cur sor on cer t ai n m enus,
inc rem ent or decr em ent num e ric fiel ds, a nd to roll the displ ay.
The touchs creen fiel ds can be sel ect e d by touch or with the opt ional mouse
or keyboa rd. To act ivate a fiel d by touch, press th e dark blue field on th e
displ ay with your fing e r until the field changes col or . Then m ove your finge r
aw ay from the s cr een to act ivat e your select ion. Yo u have th e option of
disabl ing the touchs c ree n with the fron t-pa ne l Touch On/Off but ton.
See Also The "System Options " part for more infor m ation on us ing the optional
key board and mouse.
Screen Contrast and Bright ness
Scr een cont rast and bright ness ar e adj usted by turn ing the two sm al l knobs
locat ed be neath th e Touc h Sc ree n button. The lef t knob is for br ight ness and
th e right knob is for cont rast.
Default Configur at ions
When the instrum ent is po wered up, predeter m ined val ues ar e au tom atically
assi gned to th e different fields of the m enus to conf igur e th e instru m en t for
basic m eas urem ent s . This al low s you to make a bas ic m easur em ent by
tu rn ing on the ins tru m ent, connect ing the pr obes, a nd touc hing the Run
field. Often, only minor changes ar e needed for more com plex m easurem ent s.
Storing Default Configurat ions
The default conf igur ations m ay be stored on a disk for lat er us e or reset by
cycling the power. Storing defaul t conf igurat ions on a disk is a conveni ent
way to return to th e defaul t value s without cycling the po wer. Defaul t values
for each m odule can be st or ed separately or toget her in one file.
