Testing Performance
Testing Performance
To ensure the logic analysis system is operating correctly, you can perform software
tests (self-tests) on the system. Directions for performing the software tests are
given in this chapter.
This chapter normally tells you how to test the performance of the logic analysis
system against the specifications listed in chapter 1. Because there are no
specifications for the HP 16500B/16501A, there are no performance verification tests.
Self-Tests
The self-tests listed in this chapter check the functional operation of the mainframe
and the expansion frame. Self-tests for the optional modules installed in the frames
are listed in the individual module Service Guides.
There are two types of self-tests: self-tests that automatically run at power-up, and
self-tests that you select on the screen. For descriptions of the tests, refer to chapter
8, "Theory of Operation."
Perform the self-tests as an acceptance test when receiving the logic analysis system
or when the logic analysis system is repaired.
If a test fails, refer to chapter 5, "Troubleshooting."
Test Interval
There is no recommended test interval for the HP 16500B mainframe or the
HP 16501A expansion frame. However, each of the HP 16500-series option modules
has performance verification tests and therefore require a periodic verification of
specifications. Refer to the Service Guides of the individual modules for more
information.

The only adjustments to the logic analysis system are adjustments to the color CRT
monitor assembly.
Use the following procedures to adjust the CRT module to compensate for magnetic
influences causing misconvergence.
WARNING
Hazard voltages exist on the power supply, the CRT, and the CRT driver board. To avoid
electrical shock, read and follow the Safety and Warning considerations at the end of this
manual before performing adjustment procedures.
Adjustment Interval
DO NOT PERFORM THESE ADJUSTMENTS AS A PART OF ROUTINE
CALIBRATIONS. The following procedures are provided only for the few extreme
cases where either the earth’s magnetic field or the user’s environment cause an
unusable display due to misconvergence that cannot be corrected by degaussing the
entire CRT screen.
DO NOT perform the procedures in this chapter before first degaussing the CRT
screen using the rear-panel degaussing switch. In extreme cases of magnetism, it
may be necessary to degauss the CRT using a conventional external television-type
degaussing coil.
Adjustment Personnel
It is recommended that these adjustments be performed only by qualified personnel
who are familiar with color CRT convergence procedures.
Equipment Required
The instrument firmware supplies the display patterns necessary for adjustment.
The only tool required is a nonmetallic adjustment tool:
• Sony Part Number 4-367-065-01
• HP Part Number 8710-1355

Troubleshooting
To test the expansion frame interface
Test the Mainframe CPU Board
Remove power from the HP 16500B system and unplug the power cords from both
1
the mainframe and the expansion frame.
2 Reinstall the bottom cover on the expansion frame. Set the mainframe on its side
with the strap handle facing up, then remove the bottom cover.
3 Plug the power cords into both the mainframe and expansion frame, then apply
power.
4 In the System Configuration menu, select Configuration. Select Test, then touch the
box to load the test system.
5 Select Test, then select Mainframe Tests. Select Option Board Tests, then select
Run-Repetitive.
6 Ground the oscilloscope probe to the metal portion of the frame near the rear panel
of the mainframe and check for TTL activity on the following pins. Reference
designator J10 is indicated on the bottom side of the CPU board.
J10 pins 11 through 18
•
J10 pins 21 through 28
•
J10 pins 48 through 50
•
If there is TTL activity on all of the pins indicated, then the mainframe CPU board is
operational.
If one or more of the signal pins on the expansion frame interface board did not
show TTL activity, then the HP 16500L or the interface cable are suspect. Using an
ohm meter, check continuity of the interface cable.
If the interface cable is good, then replace the HP 16500L circuit board.
7 Remove power from the HP 16500B system, and unplug the power cords from both
the mainframe and expansion frame. Replace the faulty components, then
reassemble the mainframe.

Replacing Assemblies
This chapter contains the instructions for removing and replacing the assemblies of
the logic analysis system. Also in this chapter are instructions for returning
assemblies.
WARNING
CAUTION
CAUTION
Hazardous voltages exist on the power supply, the CRT, and the CRT driver board. To avoid
electrical shock, disconnect the power from the instrument before performing the following
procedures. After disconnecting the power, wait at least six minutes for the capacitors on
the power supply board and the CRT driver board to discharge before servicing the
instrument. However, if the AC LED on the power supply has any illumination, a significant
charge remains on the power supply capacitors.
Damage can occur to electronic components if you remove or replace assemblies when the
instrument is on or when the power cable is connected. Never attempt to remove or install
any assembly with the instrument on or with the power cable connected.
Replacement Strategy
These replacement procedures are organized as if disassembling the complete
instrument, from the first assembly to be removed to the last. Some procedures say
to remove other assemblies of the instrument, but do not give complete instructions.
Refer to the procedure for that specific assembly for the instructions.
Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Use grounded wriststraps and
mats when performing any service to this logic analyzer.
To remove and replace optional modules or filler panels
To remove and replace optional modules or filler panels
1 To reconfigure your system later in this procedure, note the configuration of your
system.
Some modules for the Logic Analysis System require calibration if you move them to a
different slot.
Starting from the top, loosen the thumb screws on filler panels and cards in the
2
mainframe or the expansion frame. Starting from the top, pull the cards and filler
panels out.
All multicard modules will be cabled together. To prevent damage to the cables and
connectors, pull all multicard modules out together.
To replace the modules, reposition all cards and filler panels so that the endplates
3
overlap properly.
4 Firmly seat the bottom card into the backplane connector of the mainframe. Keep
applying pressure to the center of the card endplate while tightening the thumb
screws finger tight. Repeat for all cards and filler panels in a bottom to top order.
For correct air circulation, filler panels must be installed in all unused card slots. Correct air
circulation keeps the instrument from overheating. Keep any extra filler panels for future use.

To remove and replace the covers
There are four outside covers on the HP 16500B and on the HP 16501A, a top cover, a bottom
cover, and two side covers.
When removing the covers, note where the shielding braid is located. If the shielding braid
separates from the covers, reinstall it when replacing the covers. The shielding braid helps
the instrument meet EMI (electromagnetic interference) specifications.
Remove the four rear feet.
1
The screws connecting the feet to the frame are accessible through the holes in the end of the
feet.
Remove the top and bottom covers.
2
To remove the covers, loosen the screw in the rear of the covers. If a captive screw was used,
loosening the screw will pull the cover back. When the screw is completely loose from the
frame, slide the cover off. To remove the bottom cover, turn the instrument on its side, then
loosen the screw in the rear of the bottom cover.
Remove the side strap handle and side covers.
3
To remove the side strap handle, remove the two strap retaining screws. Slide the strap
handle cover off.
Note that the handle is rounded on the side closest to the instrument. Reinstall the handle
with the same side toward the instrument.
To remove a side cover, loosen the screw in the rear of the cover. (The side cover with a

Replaceable Parts Ordering
Parts listed
To order a part on the list of replaceable parts, quote the Hewlett-Packard part number,
indicate the quantity desired, and address the order to the nearest Hewlett-Packard Sales
Office.
Parts not listed
To order a part not on the list of replaceable parts, include the model number and serial
number of the module, a description of the part (including its function), and the number of
parts required. Address the order to your nearest Hewlett-Packard Sales Office.
Direct mail order system
Within the USA, Hewlett-Packard can supply parts through a direct mail order system. The
advantages to the system are direct ordering and shipment from the HP Part Center in
Mountain View, California. There is no maximum or minimum on any mail order. (There is a
minimum amount for parts ordered through a local Hewlett-Packard Sales Office when the
orders require billing and invoicing.) Transportation costs are prepaid (there is a small
handling charge for each order) and there are no invoices.
In order for Hewlett-Packard to provide these advantages, a check or money order must
accompany each order. Mail order forms and specific ordering information are available
through your local Hewlett-Packard Sales Office. Addresses and telephone numbers are
located in a separate document at the back of the Service Guide.
Exchange Assemblies
Some assemblies are part of an exchange program with Hewlett-Packard. The exchange
program allows you to exchange a faulty assembly with one that has been repaired and
performance verified by Hewlett-Packard.
After you receive the exchange assembly, return the defective assembly to Hewlett-Packard.
A United States customer has 30 days to return the defective assembly. If you do not return
the defective assembly within the 30 days, Hewlett-Packard will charge you an additional
amount. This amount is the difference in price between a new assembly and that of the
exchange assembly. For orders not originating in the United States, contact your nearest
Hewlett-Packard Sales Office for information.
