Making Coordinated Measurements

Introduction

Coordinated measurements are measurements synchronously made in
multiple emulators or analyzers. Coordinated measurements can be
made between HP 64700 Series emulators which communicate over
the Coordinated Measurement Bus (CMB). Coordinated measure-
ments can also be made between an emulator and some other instru-
ment connected to the BNC connector. These types of coordinated
measurements, that is, measurements which involve signals external to
an HP 64700 Series emulator, are described in the Coordinated Meas-
urement Bus Operating Manual.
This chapter will describe coordinated measurements which are made
internal to an HP 64700 Series emulator and which involve the HP
64700 Series analyzer. The types of coordinated measurements involv-
ing the analyzer which can be made internal to an HP 64700 series emu-
lator are:
Breaking into the monitor on an analyzer trigger.
•
Using the emulation analyzer to arm the external analyzer (in an in-
•
dependent mode).
Using the external analyzer (in an independent mode) to arm the
•
emulation analyzer.
The last two instances above are referred to as cross-arming. When
arm conditions are used to trigger an analyzer, cross-triggering takes
place. Cross-triggering is a subset of cross-arming.
Arm conditions may also be used to qualify primary and secondary
branches, as well as storage or prestore qualifiers.
