The Intermodule Window
The Intermodule Window
The Intermodule window shows a graphical representation of the
internal arming sequence between measurement modules, and any
external trigger connections to a target system or other instruments. In
measurements using multiple instruments tools or analyzers, the
Intermodule window is used to modify the order that measurement
modules are armed to trigger, and to compensate for any timing
deviations (skew adjust) between the modules probing.
The purpose of using multiple instruments or analyzers in the same
measurement is generally for two reasons. The first is to capture
different types of system data at the same point in time. The second
reason is to trigger the measurement from one type of data while
capturing a different type.
For example, you might have a timing analyzer trigger on a glitch, and
at the same time, signal an oscilloscope to capture the glitch and a
state analyzer to capture the program flow around the glitch.

System Administration Privileges
Your System Administrator is the first person who accesses the User
Accounts dialog and gives himself system administration privileges.
From that point forward, the User Accounts... pick is unavailable for all
users except the users with system administration privileges. There
can be more than one System Administrator. However, the first
administrator must initially give all other administrators privileges so
they can gain access to the restricted areas when they login the first
time. If User Accounts are not used, all users have system
administration privileges.
At the time users login, the system software checks for system
administration privileges and sets the appropriate access mask on all
restricted areas of the system.
Only the System Administrator can perform the following system-level
tasks:
18
Chapter 1: HP 16600A/16700A Series Logic Analysis System
The System Administration Tools
• Configure the network.
• Enable or Disable the Secure Mode and the use of user accounts.
• Add and remove individual user accounts.
• Set the system-wide default file permissions (see page 88).
• Set user permissions for new file creation.
• Set the system time.
• Set NFS export permissions from the logic analysis system.
Hostname
The Hostname is the name of your local computer or logic analysis
system. The name can contain only lower case letters, numbers,
underscores(_), and dashes(-). It must start with a lowercase letter.
Get the hostname from your system administrator.
Internet Address (IP)
The Internet Address (IP) is a four-part code in integer dot notation.
The assignment of an internet address uniquely identifies your
computer among all those located on your network or any other
network. Get this IP address from your system administrator.
See Also “Using the Name Resolver to Alias IP Addresses” on page 21
Gateway Name
The Gateway name is the name of the computer that routes traffic
from one network to another. If you plan to communicate with a
computer on a different network, you must specify the gateway
computer name. No entry in this field will disable the gateway. The
19
Chapter 1: HP 16600A/16700A Series Logic Analysis System
The System Administration Tools
gateway name can contain only lowercase letters, numbers,
underscores(_), and dashes(-). It must start with a lowercase letter.
Get the gateway name from your system administrator.
Gateway IP
The Gateway IP is a four-part code in integer dot notation. The
assignment of the gateway IP allows the logic analysis system to
connect between other networks and subnetworks. The gateway IP
must be set to the address of the gateway machine. No entry in this
field will disable the gateway. Get the gateway address from your
system administrator.
Subnet Mask
The Subnet Mask is an assigned group of bits that helps to quickly
identify your subnetwork. If you have a gateway machine and your
network is partitioned into subnetworks, you must specify a subnet
mask. The subnet mask is a four-part code in integer dot notation. An
example of an 18-bit subnet mask is shown below. Get the subnet mask
from your system administrator.
Emulation Network Setup
Emulation probes, both standalone and interconnected to an emulation
module, need to be configured with LAN parameters.
The procedure for starting an connecting an emulation probe to the
network depends on which kind of emulator you are using:
20
Chapter 1: HP 16600A/16700A Series Logic Analysis System
The System Administration Tools
• Setting Up an E5900A Emulation Probe (see the Emulation: Setting Up
help volume)
• Setting Up an E5900B Emulation Probe (see the Emulation: Setting Up
help volume)
• Setting Up an E5901B Emulation Module (see the Emulation: Setting Up
help volume)
An easy way to configure an emulation probe is to use the Setup
Assistant. Use the Setup Assistant if:
• You have a single E5900B emulation probe interconnected to an E5901B
emulation module, or
• You have an emulation probe and NO emulation module is installed in your
logic analysis system.
The Setup Assistant will not allow you to set up a standalone emulation
probe if an emulation module is installed.
See Also • Using an E5901A Emulation Module on Your LAN (see the Emulation:
Setting Up help volume)
• To obtain LAN information (see the Emulation: Setting Up help volume)
• The Setup Assistant (see the Setup Assistant help volume)
Using the Name Resolver to Alias IP Addresses
The Name Resolver is used to assign custom names (aliases) to the
Internet IP addresses. With an alias assigned to the Internet IP
Address, you simply type in the alias in any IP address field. The
configuration interprets it as the correct IP address. Alias names are
usually set in either a local Host Table or a Name Server on the
network.
1. From the Network Setup dialog, click Name Resolver....
2. In the Name Resolution Dialog, select Host Table and click the text entry
field for the alias names.
3. Type in the Internet IP Address (see page 19) followed by a space, and
21
Chapter 1: HP 16600A/16700A Series Logic Analysis System
The System Administration Tools
then the alias name.
4. Click Add.
5. Click OK.
Mapping Windows/NT Network Drives
The Map Windows Drive dialog is used to designate a share in a
Windows/NT computer to be available for file operations performed
from the logic analysis system.
NOTE: The logic analysis system only allows the use of one mapped directory per
server at a time. If more than one directory must be mapped, you must
disconnect the previously connected share before mapping the new one. Also,
do not disconnect a share mapping while files are being accessed. The
resulting file contention may cause long delays or an unstable logic analysis
system.
There are two ways to connect to a remote file system. One way is to
create a new connection. The other way is to reconnect to a previous
connection.
22
Chapter 1: HP 16600A/16700A Series Logic Analysis System
The System Administration Tools
Creating a New Connection
1. Type in the Network Path (see page 25). The network path consists of the
IP address or the server name, followed by the specified share name.
2. Type in the Logic Analyzer Dir Path (see page 25).
3. Set the Reconnect at Startup (see page 24) as desired. When activated,
this feature automatically re-establishes the Windows/NT connectivity to
the logic analyzer directory at each new analyzer session startup.
Set the Read Only if necessary. See the note below.
4. Optional - Type in the Login Information (see page 25) if the share is
protected.
5. Optional - Click Advanced... to correct inconsistent naming (see page 26)
of the Windows netbios computer and the TCP/IP hostname.
6. Click Connect.
NOTE: If the CD-ROM you are using is shared from a Windows 95 server, the Read
Only field must be enabled.
23
Chapter 1: HP 16600A/16700A Series Logic Analysis System
The System Administration Tools
Choose a Previous Connection
If a connection has been made in the past, the connection and its
options will appear in a dialog found by clicking the Previous... button.
To re-establish a previous connection, do the following.
1. Click Previous....
2. Select the desired connection from the list in the PC Previous Connections
dialog.
3. Click Select.
NOTE: For security reasons, password information is not saved when the Previous
dialog is used. In this case, you are required to re-enter Share passwords.
Disconnect a Current Connection
A list of Current Connections appears at the bottom of the dialog.
This is a list of all connections to remote file systems. If you
Disconnect a share mapping when either a file is still open, or a file
operation is in progress, the resulting file contention may cause long
delays or an unstable system. Terminate all file operations and
interaction with the remote file system before you disconnect the share
mapping.
To disconnect a share mapping, click the desired connection in the
Current Connections list, and then click Disconnect.
Reconnect at Startup
If you plan to reconnect at each startup, make sure to enable the
feature when you configure the connection the first time. This field
cannot be edited. The only way to change the configuration is to
disconnect, and then configure as a new connection. Also, be sure to
keep the connection active when you exit a session. In other words, do
not select the Disconnect field at the bottom of the dialog when you
exit a session.
NOTE: For security reasons, you cannot reconnect to a PC share map that is
password protected.
24
Chapter 1: HP 16600A/16700A Series Logic Analysis System
The System Administration Tools
Network Path
What you type into the Network Path field will take the form
\\computer_name\share_name, where computer_name is the IP
address or name of the Windows server you are connecting to.
You can locate the computer name by right-clicking on Network
Neighborhood under the Windows system, then selecting Properties
from the pull-down menu. Locate the tab labeled Identification and
the Computer Name is specified there.
The share_name is the name that was specified for the Share Name in
the share dialog on the server where the share was created. To find the
Share Name under a Windows system, go to the drive where the share
is located, right-click on the directory, then select Sharing from the
pull-down menu. The share name is specified in the dialog that
appears.
Logic Analyzer Directory Path
The Logic Analyzer Dir Path points to the directory location in the
analyzer that is mapped to the Windows share. The directory is based
off of the main directory /hplogic/. The default name given to the subdirectory is the same as the Share Name designated in the Network
Path field.
NOTE: Some characters such as "$" are not allowed in UNIX filenames. If a Share
Name has one of these characters in its name, the default Logic Analyzer Dir
Path will be illegal, and you must change it manually.
Login Information
The Login Information is only required if the share is password or
account protected, that is, it is NOT a public share. If the share is a
Windows 95 share, with ONLY password protection, typically only the
User Account/Share Password field is required. If the share is a
Windows NT/95 share that is protected on a user account basis, the
User Account Name and User Account/Share Password fields are
both required. If the share is protected on a user account basis with NT
domain authentication, all fields are required.
25
Chapter 1: HP 16600A/16700A Series Logic Analysis System
The System Administration Tools
User Account Name
This field allows the user to specify what his login account name is.
This is required for a share that has its permissions based on user
accounts.
User Account/Share Password
This field allows the user to specify the password for either his
account, or just the password for a share that is password protected.
Note that this field will display "*" characters as you type your
password for security purposes.
NOTE: If you are mapping to a Windows system, and after entering the User Account/
Share Password you have trouble connecting, try entering the Windows
Domain Name.
Windows Domain Name
This field allows the user to specify the name of the domain the user
account name should be authenticated under. This may be a necessary
field if the Windows server is using NT domain authentication.
Naming Server and Client Netbios Names
NOTE: This operation may require the help of your System Administrator
Use the Advanced... field to access a dialog used to correct naming
inconsistencies between the Windows netbios computer name and the
TCP/IP hostname of the same computer. The logic analysis system
must be provided with the name that is specified under the Windows
netbios environment.
For example, a Windows PC with the computer name of "testpc" is
connected to a TCP/IP network with an internet address of "joepc.company.com". Since "testpc" and "joe-pc" are different names, the
logic analysis system has no way of knowing the two names point to the
same computer.
26
Chapter 1: HP 16600A/16700A Series Logic Analysis System
The System Administration Tools
Server Netbios Name
This field is used to specify the netbios name of the Windows server PC
with the share you wish to map. This name can be found by rightclicking on the Network Neighborhood icon on the server PC and
selecting Properties. The Identification tab in the dialog that appears
will show the name of the computer.
Client Netbios Name
This field is used to specify the netbios name of the logic analysis
system if it is different from the hostname specified in the Network
Setup dialog. You will need to contact your network administrator if
you do not know what the netbios name of the logic analysis system is.
NOTE: For convenience, it is usually easier to make sure these two names are the
same so the Advanced... field is not necessary.
Share Analyzer Drive
The Share Logic Analyzer Directory dialog is used to designate a
directory in the logic analysis system to be available for file operation
performed from a Windows/NT computer.
NOTE: If you are configuring a Windows/NT share for the first time, your system
administrator may have to set up the appropriate permissions and security
on the remote computer.
There are two ways to share a logic analysis directory to remote
Windows/NT systems. One way is to create a new share. The other way
is to reconnect to a previous share.
Creating a New Share
1. Type the directory name that you want accessible from a Windows/NT
computer.
The directory you choose must be a sub-directory based off of /
hplogic/. You can also use the Browse field to access a graphical file
27
Chapter 1: HP 16600A/16700A Series Logic Analysis System
The System Administration Tools
manager to help in specifying a directory name.
2. Type in the Share Name (see page 29).
3. Optional - Type in a Share Comment (see page 30).
4. Set the Reshare at Startup as desired. When activated, this feature
automatically re-establishes the share connectivity to the remote
Windows/NT computer at each new analyzer session startup. See the note
below.
5. Optional - Type in a Share Password (see page 30), and then retype the
password to verify it was typed correctly.
6. Click Share.
NOTE: If you plan to Reshare at each startup, make sure to enable the feature, and be
sure to keep the share as a current active share. In other words, do not select
the UnShare field at the bottom of the dialog when you exit a session.
28
Chapter 1: HP 16600A/16700A Series Logic Analysis System
The System Administration Tools
Choose a Previous Share
If a connection has been made in the past, the connection and its
options will appear in a dialog found by clicking the Previous... button.
To re-establish a previous Share, do the following.
1. Click Previous..
2. Select the desired Share from the list of PC Previous Connections.
3. Click Select.
NOTE: For security reasons, password information is not saved when the Previous
dialog is used. In this case, you are required to re-enter Share passwords.
Disconnect a Current Share
A list of Current Shares appears at the bottom of the dialog. This is a
list of all remote file system connections that are sharing the file
system of the logic analysis system. If you UnShare a share mapping
when either a file is still open, or a file operation is in progress, the
resulting file contention may cause long delays or an unstable system.
Terminate all file operations and interaction with the remote file
system before you disconnect the share mapping.
To disconnect a current share, click the desired connection in the
Current Shares list, and then click UnShare.
Share Name
The Share Name is simply a literal name for the share. By default, a
name is assigned using the base name of the directory name. The base
name is the text to the right of the front-slash (/) in the path name.
Example:
If the directory name path you choose is /hplogic/test_1,
then the default Share Name would be test_1.
You can change the default name if you desire. Directory names can
