The Parts of a Solution
There are several ways to connect an HP logic analysis system to your target
system. These connections use an analysis probe (or custom probing), plus
an emulation module (for an emulation solution).
Analysis Probe
The analysis probe (formerly called a preprocessor) connects your logic
analyzer to your target system for state and timing analysis. The analysis
probe can be used with an HP 16600A/700A-series logic analysis system or
with other HP logic analyzers.
The analysis probe can be purchased alone, or as part of an emulation
solution.
In some cases, if your target system has the appropriate connectors, you can
connect the logic analyzer directly to the target system and use the inverse
assembler without the analysis probe.

Emulation Module
The emulation module (similar to a processor probe) plugs into your
HP 16600A/700A-series logic analysis system frame. The emulation module
lets you use the target processor’s built-in background debugging features,
including run control and access to registers and memory. A high-level
source debugger can use the emulation module to debug code running on the
target system. You can connect the emulation module to the analysis probe
or you can connect it to a debug port on the target system through the
provided target interface module (TIM).
Emulation Solution
The emulation solution includes an analysis probe, an emulation module,
cables and adapters, and the HP B4620B Source Correlation Tool Set (for
analyzing high-level source code). This solution is designed to be used with
an HP 16600A/700A-series logic analysis system.

Setup Checklist
Follow these steps to connect your equipment:
• If you need to install an emulation module in an HP 16600A/700A
series logic analysis system, see page 8.
• Install the processor support package for your microprocessor.
See the instructions on the CD-ROM jacket. The processor support
package includes the files which will be used by the Setup Assisant, by
the analysis probe, and by the emulation module.
• Use the Setup Assistant to help you connect and configure the
analysis probe and emulation module. See page 7.
The flowchart on the following page is a summary of the steps involved in
connecting and configuring your equipment.
