What it is
The HP 16500B is a logic analysis system mainframe manufactured by Hewlett-Packard. The mainframe accepts plug-in measurement modules, which can include logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and other options.[1]
The HP 16500B is the mainframe of the Hewlett-Packard Logic Analysis System. The system offers a modular structure for plug-in measurement modules.[1]
How it works
The HP 16500B provides a touchscreen interface with pop-up menus and color graphics. The HP 16501A is an add-on mainframe that expands the module capacity of the HP 16500B. When connected, the two form a single ten-card system that is turned on and controlled by the HP 16500B.[1]
Measurement modules can be armed by an external instrument, and modules can be connected to form intermodule measurements. The system may be operated from a computer controller such as a workstation or personal computer.[1]
Applications
The system is applicable in intermodule measurements, such as using a timing analyzer to detect glitches or using state analyzers to monitor coprocessor activity. The system also supports stimulus-response testing of circuits.[1]
