Logic Analysis System Mainframes
Data Sheet
Conquer your toughest digital
debug problems while staying
within your budget
The Agilent 16900 Series modular logic analysis mainframes
deliver the performance you need
to conquer your toughest digital
debug problems. You get accurate
and reliable measurements for
today’s complex circuits, with
expandability and performance
headroom to cover future technology trends. In addition, the
intuitive user interface gives you
the ultimate in productivity without sacrificing performance or
capability. You get performance
and intuitive usability at a price
you can afford.
Expand your system as your
needs evolve
Expandability is the key to the
long-term value of the Agilent
16900 Series logic analysis systems. Purchase the capability you
need now, then expand as your
needs evolve. Maximize mainframe usage by operating them
separately, then connecting them
together for complex, high-channel-count, multiple-bus applications. Whether you are doing simple hardware debug, real-time
analysis of instruction execution,
hardware/software integration,
signal-quality analysis or complex
system validation, you have a system that meets each of your longterm digital measurement needs.
Spend more time designing and less
time learning how to use your tools
If you want to focus on solving
your digital debug problems, you
need to be able to quickly master
your debug tools. The 16900
Series logic analysis mainframes
let you set up measurements easily and navigate through your data
quickly with an intuitive user
interface and familiarity of
Windows® XP Professional.

16900 Series mainframe — the power
you need at a price you can afford
The mainframe you select is the
foundation of your system. The
Agilent 16900 Series includes a
range of powerful logic analysis
mainframes that deliver the performance you need at a price you
can afford. You get accurate and
reliable measurements, for today’s
complex systems, plus expandability and performance headroom to
cover future technology trends.
Key things to consider when selecting
a 16900 Series mainframe:
• Number of module slots —
Determine the number of measurement modules required for
your specific measurement need.
Also consider having additional
slots for future needs.
• Multiframe Pro — 16900 Series
mainframes can always be used
as a standalone unit. In some
instances your channel needs
may surpass a single mainframe.
Multiframe Pro allows you to
connect multiple frames into one
measurement system with a
single interface control.
• Display and resolution — If
you prefer to operate the analyzer directly from the front
panel, select a mainframe
with a large, built-in touch
display. All 16900 Series
mainframes can also be used
with external monitors.
• PCI expansion slots —
Customize your logic analyzer
peripherals by adding PCI cards
for a specific capability like multiple monitor video.

Unleash the complementary
power of a logic analyzer and
an oscilloscope
Easily make time-correlated
measurements between Agilent
logic analyzers and oscilloscopes.
The time-correlated logic analyzer
and oscilloscope waveforms are
integrated into a single logic analyzer waveform display for easy
viewing and analysis. You can
also trigger the oscilloscope from
the logic analyzer (or vice versa),
automatically de-skew the tracking between the two instruments.
Perform the following more
effectively:
• Validate signal integrity
• Track down problems caused
by signal integrity
• Validate correct operation of
A/D and D/A converters
• Validate correct logical and
timing relationships between
the analog and digital portions
of a design
Figure 6. Make time-correlated measurements between an
Agilent logic analyzer and oscilloscope.
Feature Benefit
Automated setup Quickly get to your first measurement using the logic
analyzer’s help wizard for easy setup, regardless of which
supported Agilent oscilloscope you connect to.
Integrated waveform Instantly validate the logical and timing relationships
display between the analog and digital portions of your design. View
oscilloscope and logic analyzer waveforms integrated into a
single logic analyzer waveform display.
Automatic measurement Save time and gain confidence in measurement results
de-skew with measurements that are automatically de-skewed in time.
Cross trigger the logic Start your debug approach from either the analog or digital
analyzer and oscilloscope domain with the flexibility to trigger the oscilloscope from the
logic analyzer (or vice versa).
Tracking markers Precisely relate information on the oscilloscope’s display to
the corresponding point in time on the logic analyzer display
with tracking markers. The oscilloscope’s time markers
automatically track adjustments of the logic analyzer’s
global markers.
Sampling clock Maintain measurement accuracy even when viewing the
synchronization to waveforms at long delay settings. Synchronizing the sampling
10 MHz signal clocks of the logic analyzer and oscilloscope keeps the
measurement tightly time-correlated across the entire
acquisition.

Programmability
You can write programs to control
the logic analyzer application from
remote computers on the local
area network using COM or ASCII.
The COM automation server is
part of the logic analyzer application. This software allows you to
write programs to control the
logic analyzer. All measurement
functionality is controllable via
the COM interface.
The B4608A Remote
Programming Interface (RPI) lets
you remotely control a 16900Series logic analysis system by
issuing ASCII commands to the
TCP socket on port 6500. This
interface is designed to be as similar as possible to the RPI on

The Remote Programming
Interface works through the COM
automation objects, methods, and
properties provided for controlling the logic analyzer application. RPI commands are implemented as Visual Basic modules
that execute COM automation
commands, translate their
