File Management
A host computer such as a PC or UNIX workstation can enhance the
HP 16500C in many ways. You can use the host to store configuration
files or measurement results for later review. Screen images from the
HP 16500C can be saved in bitmap files for inclusion in reports
developed using word processors or desktop publishing tools. Or, you
can develop programs on the PC that manipulate measurement results
to satisfy your problem-solving needs.
This chapter shows you some examples of how to transfer files
between a host computer and the HP 16500C, using the flexible disk
drive and the LAN Interface. If you aren’t familiar with basic flexible
disk drive operations or if you need help setting up or understanding
the use of the LAN Interface, see the HP 16500C/16501A User’s
Reference.
You can also use a host computer to send the HP 16500C complex
command sequences—allowing you to automate your measurement
tasks. If you want to program the HP 16500C using a host computer,
see the HP 16500C/16501A Logic Analysis System Programmer’s
Guide, available from your HP Sales Office.
