HP (Hewlett-Packard) HP 16500C Computer Accessories User Manual


 
The following figure shows the possible combinations of the a, b, c and
Range1 terms:
Combining a, b, c, and Range1 Terms
The following combination is not valid, because pairs cross group
boundaries:
((a+b) + (h In_Range2)) (j xor Timer2 > 400 ns)
Note that the analyzer interface will not allow you to enter invalid
combinations, however, you need to be aware of what combinations
are legal, so that you can make the desired measurement.
Another limitation is that the analyzer cannot handle ranging for input
pods that are assigned to different analysis IC’s. For example, if you
need to define a 32-bit range term, you must do it using pods 1/2, 3/4,
or 5/6. Trying to define a range across pods 2/3, 4/5, or 1/6 will not
work.
The Timing Analyzer
When you configure the HP 16550A as a timing analyzer, the trigger
sequencer is similar. However, there are between 1 and 10 states
available. The trigger term is always the last state. There are two
additional resources, Edge1 and Edge2. These can recognize
occurrences of a glitch, or occurrences of a rising edge, falling edge,
either edge, or no edge on a bit or ORed set of bits represented by a
glitch/edge term.
