UARTs for multiframe. Multiframe input/output Multiframe is a proprietary bus used to connect multiple 16900A/16902A frames. It physically consists of two connectors (input, output) which cable frames together in a daisy chain configuration. It logically allows two or more frames to appear and operate as one large frame.
16902A/16903A Front Panel Assembly The 16900A frame does not have a liquid crystal display (LCD). The identical front panel assembly with LCD is used on both the 16902A six- slot logic analyzer and the 16903A three- slot logic analyzer.
119) Boot sequence The 16900A/16902A systems ship with the Windows XP Professional operating system. After power is applied to the frame, the basic input/output system (BIOS) is the first thing to run. Among other things, the BIOS is responsible for...
