File Management
A host computer such as a PC or UNIX workstation can enhance the
HP 16500B in many ways. You can use the host to store configuration
files or measurement results for later review. Screen images from the
HP 16500B 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 16500B, using the flexible disk
drive and the optional HP 16500L LAN Interface. If you aren't familiar
with basic flexible disk drive operations, see the HP 16500B/16501A
User's Reference. If you need help setting up or understanding the
use of the HP 16500L LAN Interface, see the HP 16500L LAN
Interface User's Guide.
You can also use a host computer to send the HP 16500B complex
command sequences—allowing you to automate your measurement
tasks. If you want to program the HP 16500B using a host computer,
see the HP 16500B/16501A Logic Analysis System Programmer's
Guide and the HP 16500L LAN User's Guide.
