Interface Modules

Product Overview

Bring logic analysis to your
computer with the Hewlett-Packard
16500H and 16500L interface mod­ules. They connect the HP 16500B
Logic Analysis System to Ethernet
local area networks (LANs) to sup­port both hardware and software
development. The HP 16500H,L
modules also interface the 16500B
mainframe to the HP 16501A expan­sion frame and the HP 16505A
prototype analyzer.

A Critical Link to Your
Software Development Platform

Use the HP 16500H,L interface
modules with an HP 16500B system
and the HP B3740A software ana­lyzer, combining the versatility of a
logic analyzer with a modern, win­dowed interface tailored to the
needs of software developers. The
software analyzer gives you a corre­lated view of real-time code in both
microprocessor mnemonics and
high-level source code with exten­sive symbolic support.

Remote Viewing and Control

Now, you can view your HP 16500B
display from a networked computer

Using an HP 16501A
Expansion Frame

Either an HP 16500H or a 16500L
interface module will connect an
HP 16500B mainframe to an
HP 16501A expansion frame. One
of these modules must be used to

Which Interface Module is
Right for You?

The HP 16500H has a 10Base-T
(twisted pair) LAN interface and a
high-speed parallel interface
designed specifically to work with
the HP 16505A prototype analyzer.

connect an HP 16500B to an
HP 16501A. A special connector
for the expansion frame interface
cable is located on each of the
interface modules. Operation with
an HP 16501A is independent of

LAN usage.
Choose the HP 16500H interface
module if you plan to use an
HP 16505A with your 16500B main­frame in the future, or if you will
be connecting to your LAN with
10Base-T twisted pair media.
