option #012 and/or 16702B option #012.
NOTE: The multiframe module requires software Rev. A.02.00.00 or higher. Agilent
16700B and 16702B logic analysis systems ordered with the multiframe option
installed will have the current operating system software installed.
1 If the multiframe module is already installed, skip to step 11.

16533/34A Oscilloscope Module (single or multi-card

The Agilent Technologies 16533A/34A oscilloscope module functions as either
a master card or expander card. It is compatible with all versions of software
in your 16700A/B or 16702A/B mainframe. The circuitry in the module
requires an operational accuracy calibration to optimize measurement
accuracy.
A multicard module should contain either all 16533A or 16534A cards.
NOTE: Each of the individual cards of a multicard 16533A or a multicard 16534A
module must first be calibrated as a single card. After reconfiguring into a
multicard module, the channel skew calibration needs to be done.
Step 1 Prepare a single 16533/34A card for calibration
CAUTION: The effects of ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE can damage components. Use
grounded wrist straps and mats when you are performing any kind of service
on this module.
1 Power down your 16700A/B or 16702A/B mainframe.

NOTE: For all Agilent logic analyzers except 16517A, 16518A, 16760A, and

General-purpose probing requires connecting probe leads to individual signal
lines. It is generally the most cumbersome method but it is also the most
flexible. There are no active circuits at the outer end of the cable due to the
passive design of the probe.

General-purpose probing
Connecting probe leads to the target. The signal and ground leads
can be connected directly to the target system. This requires installing 0.63
mm (0.025 inch) square pins, or round pins with a diameter between 0.66 and
0.84 mm (0.026 and 0.033 inch) directly on the board. You can also use an IC
test clip with pins with those dimensions.
You can also connect the leads using through-hole grabbers that have small
enough hooks to fit around adjacent IC pins, or by using surface-mount
grabbers designed for fine surface-mount component leads.
Grounding. Proper grounding will improve the signal quality and is essential
for high speed measurements. Each pod has a pod ground lead, which must be
used. If you use this ground only, signal quality for high speed signals will be
poor.
For better results, ground not only the pod, but every third or fourth lead.
