Introduction
These modules provide the means for remote communication with
HP 54600-series instruments. For programming specifics, refer to the
Programmer’s Guide or Programmer’s Reference shipped with your
oscilloscope or logic analyzer. The hardcopy process does not
interrupt front-panel operation of the instrument. While any of the
interfaces are connected to the rear panel of the instrument, the
instruments trace memories become nonvolatile and are saved when
the power is removed from the instrument.

The enhanced features of the HP 54655A/56A/57A/58A/59B are not available to the HP 54620A/C Logic Analyzer. These modules supply
enhanced oscilloscope programming functions. The I/O functions of these modules will function when used with the HP 54620A/C
Logic Analyzer.
