HP 16500C—At a Glance
A system of measurement modules
The HP 16500C is the mainframe of the
Hewlett-Packard Logic Analysis
System. It offers a modular structure for
plug-in cards with a wide range of state,
timing, oscilloscope, and pattern
generator capabilities.
A powerful, easy-to-use interface
The touchscreen interface offers
pop-up menus and color graphics to
lead you through measurement
configurations without having to
remember lots of steps. You can add a
keyboard or mouse to speed data input
and measurement configuration.
The HP 16501A expands module
capacity
The HP 16501A is the add-on mainframe
for expanding the module capacity of
the HP 16500C. When the two are
connected, they form a single ten-card
system that is turned on and controlled
by the HP 16500C.
Intermodule measusurement capability
The HP 16500C offers intermodule
measurement features that allow you to
capture complex system activity.
Modules can
•
be armed by an external instrument,
•
be armed by another module in the
HP16500C or HP16501A frames, or
•
be used to arm an external
instrument.
Install measurement modules in any
slot
Single card analyzers, oscilloscopes,
and other options can go in any slot of
the HP 16500C or HP 16501A. You should
generally begin installing cards starting
with the bottom-most slot and working
up.
Some measurement modules have
multiple cards. A multiple-card module
must be installed into adjacent slots in
the same mainframe—that is, you
cannot install one card of the module
into the HP 16500C and the other into
the HP 16501A.
Calibrate measurement modules after
installation
Some measurement modules are
sensitive to temperature and voltage
variations between different
mainframes. Thus, when you install
such a module in the mainframe, you
should calibrate it before using it to
ensure maximum measurement
precision and accuracy.
See the Service Guide for each
measurement module for installation
and calibration procedures.
